Today, I was fiddling around with the thermostat at my new place. For a laugh, I twisted the knob all the way to 40° celsius, when it snapped off. I don't have a clue how to fix it. FML

You're a dumbass. Call someone to fix it, perhaps?

Guess you won't be spending too much time at your new place in the near future.

#56 - FYI, 40 degrees Celsius equals 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Oh, because everything on the Internet is correct? Above there is a post, #81, that has the calculations. It's 129.6 degrees farenhiet

I used a unit converter. It's 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

96- Actually, 104 is the correct answer. The formula is F=9/5C+32, which, if you plug in 40, for C is 104. What you did wrong was add the 32 first because 32+40=72(9/5) which does in fact equal 129.6

96, everything on the internet is NOT correct, obviously, like -your- chosen source.

Celsius that's way above 100 Fahrenheit (about 125% the heat) and judging by the fact he said Celsius I'm guessing he's from Australia or New Zealand and we're going into summer

How hard did you twist it?! Haha, I also find it funny that of all things OP could play with in their new place, they chose the thermostat.

Thats pretty hot. I'd try superglue and duck tape, that always works for me. :D And no, I don't mean duct tape, I meant the shit I use to keep my ducks in their fancy little chicklet line up. Duck tape kicks ass.

You should just start a small bon fire in the middle of your living room to warm the house up. And while you're at it, you should invite a couple of friends over, kick back and drink a couple of beers! You're all set, my friend. Enjoy your Saturday! :)

OP won't be needing anything to warm up the house. He's got that covered.

vElectrixx - If you aren't bright enough to do the conversion yourself, there are probably hundreds of online converters that'll do it for you. Go find one, see that 104 is correct, and then come back here to apologise.

Doc is right. You actually have to multiply by 9/5 first, then add 32. It makes a difference, trust me.

...twisting the knob... That's a new one. No wonder it was so hot in there.

24- As I was reading this FML I just sort of paused on "I twisted the knob" and immediately made a bit of a freudian slip, then I saw your comment and felt better that I'm not alone :)
