And here I thought it was almost at boiling point!

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 8 points 5 days ago

Hmm. Boiling cat butthole. I hate it.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 5 days ago

if its a hellcat.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It does seem so. Cats' internal temp is a bit warmer than ours - like 101 or 102F. Lots of blood vessels near the surface in a butthole, so it's warmer than most other areas, though would expect it to be slightly cooler than internal. Not 8 degrees cooler though.

101 or 102

38°

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Human external skin temp is around 32°C on the hands, so i'd say 34,6°C for the cats butthole sounds about right

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You mean, you can warm up your finger in the cat’s butthole?

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 10 points 5 days ago

only by 2 degrees, i don't think it's worth the blood loss

[–] errer@lemmy.world 54 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That’s the cat’s weak spot, you can only attack it during certain moments in the boss fight

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

That's because it only shows its butt after you've earned its trust. Its a very long boss fight.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

The final boss has decided to nap on my lap. Now would be a great time to reach for the sword but I'm incapable of moving. I'm losing this battle, help!

Thermal Exhaust Port

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 46 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is what science is for.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 44 points 6 days ago

We choose to scan the cat's butthole not because it is easy, but because it is hilarious.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 30 points 5 days ago (2 children)

"i got you a thermal camera"

cool

"what have you checked with it"

oh you know things

"what kind of things?"

you know, walls, pets, the grill. normal stuff. ...why?

"...no reason"

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I will always watch that entire video every time someone links it, and probably rewatch a few others of his.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 37 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"How did we ever survive without this?"

Butt thermometers

Husband now has fart-o-vision, expect some chores to not get done.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Prepare for your husband to film his own ass a good bit.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

... either he's gonna be that flexible, or he's going to giggle for half a day and not tell you the results of 'can a thermal camera pointed at a mirror see a fart?'

... my money is on 'not really'.

I think Tool wrote a song about that.

3 weeks later: honey, did you know that Frank next door is only 47.6 degrees? That's weird.

Reverse dragon: fire comes out of its butt

[–] greenbit@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Wait, thermal cameras have become reasonably priced gifts? Or is this some rich people shit

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You can get a decent one for about 250 euros like the Infiray P2 Pro.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)
[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 10 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I would call that enthusiast level rather than rich person. It's not more than a decent drone or camera or many other technology hobbies. Less than half the price of a ps5 or meta quest 3.

Sure, you could argue it probably has less function and replay value than those. But it's still not ludicrously expensive if you REALLY want it.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Do you think the husband REALLY wanted it and that's why he waited for his wife to gift it to him?

It was in the 1000s a few years ago. That was "professional level", not "rich people shit", because it can be a useful investment.
Now, it's "enthusiast level; affordable enough for interested people to play around with it, and cheap enough that you can let it rot in a drawer after losing interest.
What you want is probably "cheap e-waste" level.

Certainly an improvement over the usual way of telling its temperature.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Emmmm, buttskin hotter than pussy fur

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think the cat is in heat.

How do you know?

I know.
