Things that are not funny.
-
Unfunny maths are not funny. It is possible that other stuff is not funny. As determining and recording which stuff is not funny falls under the funny stuff aegis, I have created this topic.
It is not necessary that every record of an unfunny stuff be funny. Indeed, for some stuff this may not even be possible.

A Brief In Support Of The Unfunniness Of Unfunny Math
Math, as a symbolic form, offers relations similar to those that exist in humor. Humor, however, explicitly crosses contexts in ways which math generally cannot admit of. The statement 1+1=2 and its reverse may model "Why did the chicken cross the road", and indeed certain similar jokes rely on the strength or failing of a known mathematical relation, but the translation is excessively decontextualized.
Note that humor in the calculator space depends on the crossing context of 7-segment display and is not a counter in general.

Proof that Celsius is evil.
A possible explanation for the issue (as pointed out by several people on Twitter) is that Apple may be sourcing data for its iOS Weather app in Celsius and then converting it to Fahrenheit. For example, 20 degrees Celsius converts to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, while 21 degrees Celsius converts to 69.8 degrees Fahrenheit — which rounds up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The app appears to have similar issues with temperatures like 65 degrees (where 18 degrees Celsius converts to 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit, while 19 degrees Celsius is 66.2 degrees Fahrenheit).

69 degrees Celsius is evil, I'll grant you that. Back in 1990 we hit 50 Celsius here for the first time in history. I was cleaning out my shed that afternoon.

Misery loves company, so they want other places to switch to Celsius even though everyone knows it's now pointless.

Apple’s weather app won’t say it’s 69 degrees
