I dont like this nonsense. They never tell you what constitutes a chirp, is it chirp chirp? Is it each chirp cause that means its 140°. Like have you ever tried to actually use this in RL? It simply doesn't work.

Its for a very specific region and a very particular cricket. So its bullshit to pass it off like some natural law

Counting the negative chirps is the worst. Like, why is there a -20ch marker if it's never -20?

Cricket will go "yeeep" if the temperature is in the negative Fahrenheit
