Is this true? If so, I like it a lot.

Is it a lie, hence a shit post? If so, I must cleanse my mind again.

I’m going to have to do the math, aren’t i? And verify whether or not it’s true…

No, it’s not true. Another has the actual formula, but the proof that it’s incorrect is that 32°F = 0°C, while (32-30)/2 = 1.

  That’s what I call good enough.

    Not good enough for chemistry, but for daily use. But I’d rather convert it with a calculator and double check the conversion if it needs to be that precise, than to calculate it by hand

The actual formula is subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.
But this is a lot easier, and is very close for all temps you’ll encounter as weather.
