Just admit it, Celsius is garbage, use Kelvin cowards. Also this: Temperature scales

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (7 children)

Kelvin use the same scale as Celsius, the only difference is the zero point. The imperial system and Farenheit sucks and result very expensive and cause even deaths because of wrong conversions: Crushed 2 Mars probes >$350M, flight crash with more than 130 victims because of an error calculating the amount of fuel, wrong amount of medicine respect bodyweight, etc..

10Β° C is warm lmao, where I live winter can get as cold as -34Β°C

Where I am in Aus we'd be lucky to see 0C once or twice a year at most in the middle of the night in the middle of winter for maybe an hour. I put on long pants or a sweater under 20C.

I don't understand the meme and I use C...

I can understand canadians wearing shorts on a 10Β° day, Aussies sometimes do the same. But what Australian wears a jacket on a 30Β°C day???

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.

10C? I see people wear shorts below zero. Some people just don't get cold.

[–] CIWS-30@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

The C is the grade those kids on got in "Temperature Understanding Class" because they're almost failing.

American kids wear hoodies in 30C+ for some bizarre reason.
