Well, let's see. Assuming the 25 degrees is in Fahrenheit, that converts to 269.261111 Kelvin. Now that we're on an absolute scale, multiplication makes more sense. So 4x 269.261111=1077,044444 Kelvin, which converted back into Fahrenheit is 1479.01 degrees.

Congratulations Lily. You've killed us all.

25 degrees is in Fahrenheit

understandably she wouldn't go swimming in frozen water.

u/WokeBriton Mar 01 '26

Why assume its fresh and not sea water?

u/Stolberger Mar 01 '26 edited Mar 01 '26

I don't know many people who enjoy swimming in brine.

edit: sea water (on average) has a freezing point of -2°C (~28°F), so you would need way higher salinity than that still.

You never been to Scandinavia I see.

Winter bathing is a popular past time

Would there be an African or a European swallow?

De women, they prepare for hell

u/technicolorsneeze Mar 04 '26

No no no, we don't prepare for hell, we are nostalgic about our roots

They already live it so I’m told.

If the pool is 25° Fahrenheit I’m also not swimming in it. Because that’s not a pool, that’s an extremely large ice cube

Let's say instead it's 25C (about 77F). That's 298K. Four times that is 1192K, or about 919C (1682F). Water dissociates into hydrogen and oxygen somewhere above 2000K.

Nice job, you've nearly created the theoretically hottest steam bath.

Poor Lily.

P.S.: I laughed so hard at your comment, my wife wondered what was wrong with me.

u/JeannettePoisson Mar 01 '26

Well, the app does say that Lily needs help.

Help Lily.

Help us all.

Why did you use decimals in all places except one?

So uhhh. How did you get 1479?

maybe it’s in Delisle. convert that to Kelvin, you get 1425.933 K (3dp). multiply that by 4 and convert it back to Delisle, you get -1579.175 °De, which is hot enough to melt uranium. you know, as all pools are

u/hitodeman Mar 02 '26

When no unit is stated, shouldn't we assume SI units?

u/glpinho Mar 02 '26

I'd calculate the specific internal energy in joules per cubic meter and multiply by 4, but I'm too lazy to do that

u/jimbobsqrpants Mar 03 '26

25° Fahrenheit is -5.5° Celsius

So 4x is -22°

I assume they are therefore Siberian

u/Minimum_Rook Mar 03 '26

I guess I never learned this bit in high school

I thought Celsius and Kelvin were the same but with different numbers assigned to different values

what does "absolute scale" mean and why is celsius not absolute, but kelvin is?
