Thought it would be funny, eh? Guess who's laughing now?

Well the thermostat sure as hell isn't, it just got its knob twisted right off

^ Lol, nice one xD

I hope the thermostat grows legs and arms, gets up in the night, and twists YOUR knob off while you're sleeping.

36- cheers :) 40- your name is so epicly appropriate to this fml :D!

Superglue or needle nose pliers. :-/

Or a new sense of humor...

I bet you thought you were cool, but seriously OP don't sweat it. (sorry, had to do it; first intended puns on fml)

You do realize that's 129-130 degrees Fahrenheit right?

104

160; Celsius to Fahrenheit is (x)C + 32 x1.8

166, your formula is a little off there bud.

The neighbors?

31- The neighbors?

And you do realise for some of us that's everyday weather in summer

Coldplay saved my life

Joe Satriani doesnt think so.

FML. One of the few places you can insult someone and give them advice in the same sentence.

That was actually two sentences.

73- touché.

54- and while he's at it, fill the water with food coloring. Dye the whole house blue or some shit. Innovation by destruction, it's a new thing, it kinda actually sounds cool.

54- took that a little bit too far..

Yep. What a hot mess that is.

He got himself into a pretty heated situation.

Oh c'mon guys, OP is obviously Plankton, and was messing with Mr. Krabs' thermostat. Back to the Chum Bucket with ya! *flicks*

You forgot to put on sunglasses

Oh.. 40°C.. Not 40°F.. Whoops

Probably don't want to put those things anywhere near something with an electrical current lol...

Thermostats are (almost all) low voltage wiring. It only signals the system to turn on rather than carrying the power to do so. You can replace one yourself, it's just a few wires. But electricity isn't something to play with; get an electrician if you don't know what you're doing.

Also 153 if you mess with any wiring in your house it voids your insurance

167- well yes and no. I wired in my entire basement, you just have to do it by code, codebooks can be bought at several different home hardware type stores. It has to be done by code and inspected, if the inspector doesn't like what he sees he will make you rip it out and get it done professionally.

It's spring in New Zealand.

...and summer's not too far away.

I really don't think this applies.

I thought it was kind of funny. Since 40 degrees Celsius is around 70 something degrees Farenheight, if I'm not wrong. Hot water is used as a synonym for trouble, and if I were OP I would be in trouble, breaking a thermostat. Whether or not if the trouble was inflicted by someone else (I.e landlord, roommate, parents) or inflicted by myself.

I think 40 C is closer to 100 F

My bad, I was way off in temperature. Apparently it's a little over 100 degrees. My friend told me approximately 70.

it's actually 129.6 Fahrenheit, if you're rounding up, 130 degrees. For a rough estimation of C to F you can do (C+32) multiplied by 2. in this case, 40+32=72 x 2= 144 which is off by 14.4 degrees. For the actual degrees in F you do (C+32) multiplied by 9/5 Hope someone somewhere learned something today.

81- I did!

YouFailForLife - Your username is completely appropriate. 40 Celsius is equal to 104 Fahrenheit. I hope YOU learned something today.

Why does a thermostat even go that high?

#114 For Winter... But in all seriousness, who finds it fun to play with a thermostat? I can imagine you'd have fun playing with the stove as well...

The formula is not (9c+32)/5, it's (9/5)c+32. It's actually 104 degrees Celsius.

No. A hot house.

@113 ahh, thats embarrassing. I did it backwards, 40+32 x 1.8 ._. Thanks for that catch, I probably would have went on converting it incorrectly for a while. +1 to you sir

#114, Who the **** wants their house to be 104 degrees F? Even in the winter.

I think we did.

126- I love your picture lmfao!

Well i bet it isn't so funny now haha.... Well for me it is
