If those Americans could read they’d be very upset.
I’d take offense if I could; but you’re right… I think… idk, I can’t think. I’m not upset, you’re upset!
What’s an up set?
This line could’ve come out of Gob’s mouth
Oh my Gob! It’s adventure time… come’on grab your friends
I just use
30°C is hot, 20°C is nice 10°C is cold, 0°C is ice.
Obviously that won’t apply everywhere, but in milder climates it works pretty good.
It’s the best way to think about it because if you’re always doing the calculation in your head you still always think in Fahrenheit first. Just get the feeling for Celcius instead of trying to shoehorn a worse system in (as a user of said worse system myself).
And 40°C is the melting point of the human brain.
Which goes some way towards explaining some of the decisions happening in Florida, Texas and Arizona during their ridiculously hot summers…
I understand and appreciate your joke, but is it really? And I imagine that the bones and skin would melt first, right? Idk. I’ve never considered that someone could melt from the inside.
Not literally, no, but it can be very difficult to concentrate on anything else when you’re suffering under immense heat and a lack of concentration can lead to a figurative brain meltdown.
That being said, the brain is mostly fluid, fat and electric connections so it would DEFINITELY melt long before your bones.
Would have to be around 50-60°C for the 60% of it that’s fat to hypothetically melt if exposed directly to the heat rather than protected by the skull and cooled down by the blood, but that’s nothing compared to the 1670°C melting point of human bones.
Btw, I hope you’re happy with this reply since my Google search history looks rather grisly now 😂
40 is dying 50 is dead
and 30C° is a typo
Most kids don’t get degrees.
Heyooo!
For the other Americans that came into the thread hoping to see a conversion:
- 10c = 50f
- 30c = 86f
Edit: I’d like to note that 10c is a very reasonable temperature for shorts. I’m a Minnesotan (basically Canada lite (please annex us)), people start raising eyebrows at around 0C
F = C * 1.8 + 32
Just want to leave this here
Oh come on. Now you expect us to learn math too??
I certainly know what degrees Celsius are, but I have no idea what Celsius degrees are supposed to be.
Annotation? Idk, I can’t read as is
Irc the US is now the only (or one of two countries) that doesn’t officially use the metric system. Uncle Sam just needs to rip the bandaid off.
C° or °C bud?

Fuck it, it’s 8 o’clock and 28°C with 60% already. We are not used to this shit here.

Paraphrasing an old meme:
Fahrenheit - how hot humans feel
Celsius - how hot water feels
Kelvin - how hot atoms feelHow measuring devices see it:
| Celsius | How hot humans feel | | Fahrenheit | Measure Celsius and do a calculation | | Kelvin | Measure Celsius and do a calculation |
Clearly, Celsius is superior here
What about Rankine?
Pretentious freedom-loving atoms
Kelvin gang

Why does the US live rent free in so many European’s heads all the time?
Because each time we look for some English content, they use some dumb fantasy metrics based on the size fo the feet of a king for some reason, and we need to look up a converter to change it to a metric used in 195 different countries.
It’s really not hard to convert.
Then why don’t you Just switch
Money.
Because it’s a massive waste of money for little to no benefit, and barely actually comes up because unit conversion is trivial and is done constantly regardless of overall unit system.
Armchair unit system fanatics make it out to be such a bigger deal than it is. Whether im working in metric or standard I’m doing several to several dozen dimensional analyses anyway, normally with industry specific units. Which again, exist in both standard and si.
Here’s a rough C° primer for Americans
0° or below, fucking cold
1° - 10° cold
11° - 20° cool
21° - 30° warm
31° - 40° hot
41° or above - Jesus Christ I’m on fire!
As for Fahrenheit for the rest of the world, on a scale from 0 to 100, how hot is it? Assume anything below zero is really fucking cold, and anything above 100 is really fucking hot.
I get metric for everything else, but °F is the better system for everyday/non scientific use. I will die on this hill.
That’s because Fahrenheit is % of hot, based on what we feel. Therefore, °F is better for everyday use.
Let’s ignore the fact that celsius is taught in American schools because “hAha AMeRiCa bAd beCauSe nO MeTric.”
Then why don’t you USE IT?
I personally use metric as much as I can. The temperature on my phone for example is in celsius, try me.
