Reply to comment by AxialGem in The direction of temperature is arbitrary. There is no reason for hot objects to be assigned a larger number than cold ones by Crux_AMVS24
Yeah, I tried not getting too technical with it in terms of my explanations, but at some point you gotta whip em out. Also, about the intuition. Wouldn’t there be any of that for temperature? If stick my hand in hot water and the other hand in ice, there isn’t anything that strikes me saying that the hot water should have a higher number attached to it. For something like distance, it’s obviously, bigger distance = higher number, but when it comes to temperature, we could have gone either way and nothing would’ve changed except some formulae

Even if all human conflicts stop, I don't think the western antigen ants are willing to stop their war with the fire ants just because a giant spoke at it in a language it doesn't understand

A lot of things had never happened in mankind's history until they did. I don't think it's going to happen by the way, it was just a stupid thought I had.

If the ancestors of humans weren’t around on earth at the same time as dinosaurs, then what did humans evolve from when you look that far back? Aliens?

War is driven by religion, ego or both. That’s why we can have world peace.

If that was the case, then little kids would instinctively know not to touch it. Yet they do. The pain receptors we all have tell us what not to touch, however it is born of experience to the individual, not genetic inherited memory

Obviously. That's why suggested it, if they want that.

They make topical medication for cold sores that you put on when you start to feel like you're going to get one.

Or you can just talk to her and ask how much force she is comfortable with, starting very gently and asking if she’d like it stronger…
But what are we talking about? This is not r/lifeProTips and what you posted doesn’t qualify as a shower thought

Wow, that's an interesting theory! Maybe it's just a natural instinct that we all have to protect ourselves from harm. Whatever the case may be, we're certainly glad that our ancestors passed on this knowledge to us!
