My phone says it's three degrees, Google says it's eleven.
Does my phone have a built-in thermometer? Is that a normal thing? O.o

Mine gets its data from a site called accuweather, i think. I imagine phones probably all have an internal thermometer to measure their own battery/cpu temp (mine shuts off if it gets too hot) but that probably doesnt work for measuring the outside environment reliably...

If it's like my phone, it's just an out-of-date weather report.  Smartphones are often eager to show us the "current weather", but don't seem to update it much when the screen's locked.

I checked a neat sensor-suite app I have, and realized that there isn't a thermometer...  But there is a barometer, not to mention other fun stuff.  Why no thermometer?  I googled it, and it seems obvious now:  The phone's internal temperature is always going to be hotter - sometimes a *lot* hotter.  Technically there IS a thermometer, possibly viewable in the battery settings, and I ought to know that because I've had my phone shut off from self-identified overheating.

It was a hot day, but so dry that I didn't realize just how hot.  Phones don't sweat, it was getting direct sunlight, and I was running the screen bright (Pokemon GO).  When it shut itself down for safety, I removed the protective case and the phone itself was too hot to comfortably touch.

Honestly not even sure why you'd need to make an account to tell people that they're wrong about something, assuming that you're not also insulting their mother while you're at it.

If you're not insulting their mother, you aren't putting enough work in.

Ah come on, you can do better than that. Insulting parentage is rookie-tier basic stuff, it’s unoriginal and boring. Anyone worth their salt can brush it off ‘cause some random on the Internet means jack shit.

So Google, what exactly does "mnjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj\4" have to do with the Spanish language that searching that brings up a bunch of Spanish results?

Y'know, that reminds me of a story about a hunter and a bear. It's much wordier but the summary is thus:
Pounded in the Butt Multiple Times by the Bear I Was Hunting

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

What we need is Tingle Tracts comics. They're like Chick Tracts except written by Chuck Tingle.

Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

I mean, we do have Pounded in the Butt By My Own Podcast if that counts.

Because there were no other channels to contact the dev team through. You needed a forum account to even submit a bug report, and they didn't get a Steam page until 5-6 years after I left.

You have to understand, this was before TF2 existed. We're talking old Steam, old HL2.
