      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?

    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).

    Paraphrasing an old meme:

    Fahrenheit - how hot humans feel
    Celsius - how hot water feels
    Kelvin - how hot atoms feel

      How 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

    I certainly know what degrees Celsius are, but I have no idea what Celsius degrees are supposed to be.

    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.

      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.

    Let’s ignore the fact that celsius is taught in American schools because “hAha AMeRiCa bAd beCauSe nO MeTric.”

        I personally use metric as much as I can. The temperature on my phone for example is in celsius, try me.
