you’ve got me, I don’t know what C° is, I only know °C

Now that you pointed it out, this annoys me more than people who put the currency sign after the amount.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 15 hours 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 15 hours 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

I dont know why that annoys me. It does annoy me but it shouldn’t because at least it has a logic to it.

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”.
elDalvini@discuss.tchncs.de 1 hour 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.

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?

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 hour 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.

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
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
But a heat wave in London is, what? 25 degrees?

Last big heatwave hit 35 here and I’m only an hour and a bit away from the edge of London

unfortunately it did go over 30° the last time i was there. but tbf also that’s the hottest it gets

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 9 hours 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.

Windex007@lemmy.world 7 hours 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 4 hours 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.

10° is a completely normal temperature to wear shorts at

That’s not even flexing with the shorts. It’s -15°C that’s the flex

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.

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.

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.

Yeah but this does double duty of normalizing °F
Shortstack@reddthat.com 17 hours 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 14 hours ago
Less quick and dirty is double it, take off 10% and add 32. So both temperatures are exactly 50°F and 86°F

That’s not less quick and dirty that’s clean and true.
Janx@piefed.social 8 hours 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…
