  Yeah, but it hits different. Smaller number is smaller.

  That’s why I use Kelvin. THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DEGREES?!!

  100%

  It’s just Americans having American perspectives promoted as world views.

    It’s about crossing into triple digits, a new order of magnitude, it feels heavy.

      But it’s also underwhelming when your usual reference for over 100 is, “WHAT IT’S HOT ENOUGH TO BOIL WATER OUTSIDE!?”

    brother, that’s what a world view is lmao, do you not understand this concept?

    source

    • Ezergill@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I think they’ve meant world’s view, not worldview

      • KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        im pretty sure the world’s view would be that we’re parasites destroying the well balanced nature of the ecology of the earth, but that’s just me.

      geographically unique

      Geographically perhaps. But the cultural and historical unique is something you are going to miss out on by staying inside your own home country for your entire life. You think your US regional differences are the same as the differences between two countries, but anyone who has experienced different countries will tell you in an instant that that is not so.

        i mean culturally in terms of outside of the continental US sure. There’s plenty of interesting and unique culture within the US if you just go looking for it. Though a lot of it is going to be somewhat westernized in essence. If you want more eastern culture, obviously you’re going to have to go farther east, but i feel like that’s a given.

  On the other hand, if it was 107°C outside, the outrage would be so much more justified.

    But much less vocal.

    You know, because we’d all be dead.

  No, he’s right. The “one hundred” part really does add certain powers, Austin Powers

• Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  It’s that extra “one” of incredulity.

  40 degrees, that’s just too hot.

  41? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

  In Australia we go with “Farkin hot”
