    I dont like this nonsense. They never tell you what constitutes a chirp, is it chirp chirp? Is it each chirp cause that means its 140°. Like have you ever tried to actually use this in RL? It simply doesn’t work.

    Its for a very specific region and a very particular cricket. So its bullshit to pass it off like some natural law

      You’re telling me you cant keep track of 30-45 simple chirps off a standard reference cricket in a 15 second period? Did you even go to school dude?

        That depends on whether it’s a frictionless sphere.

        Well there is no standard, most crickets chirp different and at different speeds its not working in most places, so it narrows the observation not study really down to next to useless and an occasional huh look correlation, youre just the guy that believed it without thought and hasn’t traveled at ALL, or applied themselves to thinking outside their dogmatic-ass-box apparently.

          No, they all chirp together, that’s kind of why they do it, maybe there are other insects chirping if you are in a more rural area like locusts or something that chirp really fast?

            Use your goddamn brain, i literally said its a drone not individual chirping and its useless to use to gauge in most places without the specific “temperature cricket” its a drone of insects chirping there is no fucking obvious line for a chirp in a second, you have to capture one and even then its plain not how the chirping works

            Literally listening to them now just nonstop chirp drone. That’s how most are. Read the fucking manual. Aka the study and what it says stop dramaing it up like a little bitch and pretending your being smart or anything other then the bitch you are being

            Its literally no breaks for almost all regular crickets species except in specific regions in specifically north america which is what the study was saying.

            Chirp chirp, chirp chirp is a fucking myth you made up in your heads to sounds like your not dumbasses in a tiny online space 😎👍

            *scientifically known as Oecanthus fultoni. This species is often referred to as the “thermometer cricket” due to its reliable chirping behavior in relation to temperature.

            No others. Just that one you small, yet sufficiently dumb, asses. 😥😥😭😭

              Ok, perhaps you are hearing a cacophony of other insects, or your hearing is different than mine.

              Yes, I am a bitch but that is neither here nor there, but I can clearly hear a wave pattern with the chirps as I sit outside on my front porch, and I already knew about this cool way to measure the temperature in Fahrenheit… (I didn’t remember the number you had to add) ……obviously, we already know whether we are too hot or too cold without knowing the exact temperature though… it’s just a fun factoid when you’re camping

              Also if you make a loud bang or a loud noise you can interrupt the chirping but they will continue… I don’t really know if grasshoppers have ears though, would be pretty dumb if they didn’t considering all the chirping they do

              I believe I read or saw in a nature program though that they all chirp together like that to help deter predators from finding any one chirper…

                So you can’t do it then and your just bullshitting to engage and pretending that’s not it for the sake of drams? I feel you could be more… satisfied doing something else. But you have some niceness and I don’t want to fuck your day up but this seems… Unproductive and only helpful to the one side from my point of view.

                Good luck tho you seem alright in a way thats difficult

                still this is discussion is retarded as the study has not been read by those that disagree. And are referencing the study for supporting evidence. That literally undermines what they are claiming and supporting my original statement so fuck off with that please

                If there’s necessary drama that’s fine but this isn’t that for me 👍👍

                  Not sure what you’re saying? You seem upset about life or something,

                  Are you having a bad day? feel free to vent…

                  Very strange lol why are you messaging me about Celsius?

                  Celsius will never win!

      Counting the negative chirps is the worst. Like, why is there a -20ch marker if it’s never -20?

      It must be in that small part of the world where temperature is measured in Fahrenheit. Eurasian, African, Australian or even South American crickets would never do that.
