If you're going to be snarky about units, at least get the significant digits correct. The infographic gives 100°F as the temperature. If I had to guess I'd say that wherever that number came from, it's precision is much less than a whole °F, but for simplicity let's just say that the precision is a whole number, no decimal places in the precision. At that precision 37.5°C and 38°C are both also 100°F. There are 9/5 °F for every °C after all. If you'd said 37.7°C I wouldn't have even commented. But that was one decimal place too far (and being too lazy to find the ° symbol or type out degrees).
You're all probably saying, "Who cares? Why do you care? Aren't you just being any even more annoying pedant?"
I do.
I don't know.
Probably.
But, if you're going to be a smartass, you better at least try to be smart about it.
Wasn't trying to be a smartass. It's just that it's 37.777 repeating, so 37.78 I think gets the point across. I'll include proper significant figures when it's necessary for actual scientific work.
Since you're trying to be more scientific about it, shouldn't it be represented in SI units in the first place.....?
According to my expert knowledge bestowed upon me from my viewings of the movie Happy Feet, the females are all off doing food hunting things while the dudes are keeping the eggs warm during the blizzards.

37.78 Celsius for those who don't know freedom units offhand (including me, I had to search the conversion).
Thank you for your service my hero
So just about human body temperature, pretty neat
It’s actually based on emperor penguin huddle temperature, humans just happen to have the same temp.
It's actually Mr. Fahrenheit's wife's body temperature on one particular day. Luckily she happened to be human.
luckily for who?
Higher actually, it would be a low grade fever In humans
for some people it'd be a pretty hefty fever, iirc my body temp is 36°C

Also, it's science memes.
0° Fahrenheit is human body temperature.
0° F is an ice and salt mix below freezing.
Is... Is that second F a C?
And what is 0° Fahren?
That's just going straight.
It's actually quite impressive that they don't get crowd crushes
Understanding why and how would be valuable
Because they're soft and fluffy!!
Superb local avoidance algorithm
If you zoom in really close, they aren't touching because they 'ain't gay
It ain't gay if feather layers don't compress.
Can't be gay anyway.. if they don't wear any socks, right?
Such a huddle of penguins is called a pengle
I thought it was called a Linux
It's a kernel.org
I don't believe you but I'm using this now
What do the girl penguins do? Please tell me its scissoring.

Yeah genuinely someone answer this, what DO the female penguins do for warmth?
That's really cool
That's kind of hot
No homo
It's kind of hot
Yes homo >:D
Just the tips
Huddle for warmth
This is like learning if I shrunk myself down and hung out with some extremophiles they could be as cool/cute as penguins
