No, bad America.
This, pound-mole and thousandths of an inch can fuck right off to hell.
Use metric at that point haha

Heatwaves in London are strange. You see a few people outside in sweaters. It’s like they don’t know what to do. It’s like they don’t own t-shirts
trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I always wear long sleeved shirts, because I burn very quickly and don’t want skin cancer and I really dislike applying sunscreen all the time.
OryxAndCake@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
Same, but when it’s 30c+ outside there’s a huge difference between us going out wearing long sleeved linen shirts and light trousers, and the handful of people I always end up seeing (at least!) wearing puffer jackets and wooly hats.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 month ago
But a heat wave in London is, what? 25 degrees?
snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Last big heatwave hit 35 here and I’m only an hour and a bit away from the edge of London
rapchee@lemmy.world 1 month ago
unfortunately it did go over 30° the last time i was there. but tbf also that’s the hottest it gets
SethTaylor@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Nope. 40
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You do realize that we’re not ignorant to the metric system, right? Anyone with even the slightest interest in science and/or computing knows what celsius is.
Shortstack@reddthat.com 2 months ago
For those who don’t know the quick and dirty conversion it’s double it and add 30. So both temps are ~50F and ~90F
gnutrino@programming.dev 2 months ago
Less quick and dirty is double it, take off 10% and add 32. So both temperatures are exactly 50°F and 86°F
untorquer@quokk.au 2 months ago
That’s not less quick and dirty that’s clean and true.
Janx@piefed.social 1 month ago
It’s close, but I just used this to convert my local temp from F to C and it’s off by 2°, which is huge for Celsius…
Shortstack@reddthat.com 1 month ago
Hence the quick and dirty. It helps burgerlanders like me have a general sense.
If you want precision then don’t take a shortcut

Jackets at 30C??
Windex007@lemmy.world 1 month ago
An Australian family moved to my town on some kind of exchange and yah, the one kid was still wearing a jacket at 30. Literally never wasn’t cold.
Taught us how to play cricket, he was a cool kid.
Nangijala@feddit.dk 1 month ago
as someone who has visited one of the hottest countries on Earth, yeah… 30C in countries like that, is considered chilly. There were a couple of days in a row where the temp reached 50 and kept crawling. My Scandinavian ass was not ready.

I’ve seen some wearing wintercoats
chuckleslord@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That’s not even flexing with the shorts. It’s -15°C that’s the flex
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
10° is a completely normal temperature to wear shorts at

renrenPDX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Yeah but, 10c is 50f, which is not cold for shorts. Maybe cool at best? I wear shorts year round though 😬.
Tenniswaffles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
That entirely depends on where you live and what temperatures you’re used too. I live in a hot part of Australia and absolutely wouldn’t wear shorts in 10c because my body is acclimated to hotter weather.
renrenPDX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Very true. Especially if it’s breezy.
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Are you a ‘shorts every day’ guy?
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Not them…
But, I do and yes I shovel snow in shorts. As long as my feet and hands are warm, I’m ready to roll.

if you been in stem in the US, you would use metric. people get wierd when you say kg, instead of lbs, or m/KM instead of miles.

Kaput@lemmy.world 1 month ago
You dropped de minus on 10C.
MrOtingocni@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Of course I do, it stands for Percentage of Commie.
These poor folks don’t even know in a free country you can wear jackets and shorts any time you like.
Joey@programming.dev 1 month ago
I don’t really get the hate for fahrenheit. It’s a nice 0 to 100 scale for everyday weather temperatures. But also every 10 degrees is different enough that you don’t even need to be precise when talking about it: “We’ll probably need the AC today, it’s going to be in the 80s”.
I’m an American that’s all for converting to metric but I would still use fahrenheit for weather since it’s just so easy and convenient.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Americans are used to being able to infer unknown scales of measurement

Come to New Zealand, we wear shorts (or stubbies as they are known over here) all year round!

its cold in New Zeeland?
lordziv@lemmy.nz 1 month ago
Yes, nothing like some places in the northern hemisphere but it can get to -2c in some places down south. Currently it is 5c haha
lastlybutfirstly@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I understand because of a useful mnemonic I learned a few years ago. 30 is hot. 20 is nice. 10 is cold. 0 is ice. 30 is still pretty nice for most US citizens since we’re not Canadian.
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I suppose posting this meme with F instead of C would confuse more of the world than this one will. When trolling its all about numbers people.

I know neither one is freezing. Or boiling, because my coffee brews at 95° C, max.

titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Wait. So is it a flex to wear shorts at 10? Is a jacket at 30? I’m so confused. That’s like the mildest of temps. How about when we do yard work when it’s 37.5c? Or go kayaking in 7c because like all those things happened are normal here. I was building a fire pit area today and it was 100° and earlier in the year I was on the lake kayaking when it was 45°.

Now that you pointed it out, this annoys me more than people who put the currency sign after the amount.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 months ago
Welcome to Europa were we do exactly that, as the placement of the currency symbol is a locale thing not a universal.
Saapas@piefed.zip 2 months ago
To me putting it first feels funny. Euro 100, instead of 100 euros. While writing it you need to remember to put the symbol before writing the amount. Funny thing

Listen do you say Dollars 300 ($300) or do you say 300 Dollars (300$)?
I rest my case lol
HamsterRage@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Technically, I think that C° is used to express differences or ranges of temperatures. For instance the difference between 15 °C and 20 °C is 5 C°. Or you could say something like, “5 C° more is all it takes for me to start wearing shorts”.
arctanthrope@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I feel like that would have come up at some point during my two years of thermodynamics classes where we were constantly using ∆T. just did a search for “C°” in quotes, and for delta T; first one returned nothing, second showed a bunch of sources where the units of ∆T were °C. any idea where you might have heard this?
MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m pretty sure you’ve made this up. °C is the unit regardless
How would you “say” this, “Five Celcius degrees more…”?
forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 1 month ago
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
elDalvini@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
I’ve always seen Kelvin used to describe differences in temperature, since Kelvin has a real zero point and the steps are the same as Celsius. Or people just use °C because they don’t know or care that it’s technically wrong.
