    Yeah, I’m going to hunt one down, and isolate it from all the others just so I can count its chirps so the count won’t be screwed up by being confused by other chirpers - all to avoid simply looking at all the other sources of said information that are much more readily available and convenient

    Unless you’re doing some sort of environmental science experiment while living in a post-apocalyptic world where every pre-existing analog thermometer device for accomplishing this has somehow been destroyed, this is utterly useless.

      Only in the sense that knowing the exact temperature on an arbitrary scale is utterly useless. Even Celsius scale is arbitrary, I guess it does use one molecule at an arbitrary atmospheric pressure as a loose guide though…

      Is it always 100 degrees Celsius in a vacuum? Because water boils in a vacuum.
