Multiply by 2 and add 30
30 is hot 20 is nice 10 is cold 0 is ice
Most kids don’t get degrees.
Heyooo!
If those Americans could read they’d be very upset.
I’d take offense if I could; but you’re right… I think… idk, I can’t think. I’m not upset, you’re upset!
What’s an up set?
Nothing, what’s an up set with you?
This line could’ve come out of Gob’s mouth
Oh my Gob! It’s adventure time… come’on grab your friends
I certainly know what degrees Celsius are, but I have no idea what Celsius degrees are supposed to be.
I thought that was the point Americans allegedly wouldn’t understand. Glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed the error in a meme trying to make another culture looks like idiots.
Annotation? Idk, I can’t read as is

I don’t know if they stopped, but American kids at least used to be taught both Celsius and Fahrenheit. At least in some parts anyway. I was taught both as a kid, with my school largely banning the use of Fahrenheit by staff on campus even, for instance.

For the other Americans that came into the thread hoping to see a conversion:
- 10c = 50f
- 30c = 86f
Edit: I’d like to note that 10c is a very reasonable temperature for shorts. I’m a Minnesotan (basically Canada lite (please annex us)), people start raising eyebrows at around 0C
I learned during the polar vortices that when it’s -40 out it’s the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit

0C? Fellow Minnesotan here and I’ve definitely seen plent of people wearing shorts at temps below -5C. But I’m also in a college town so that may change things.
I once amusedly watched girls sunbathe in bikinis at St. Lawrence University with patches of snow nearby in, I think March.
Conversely, I personally wore shorts and a tee one fine vacation in Florida around Christmas. It was 60f, and everybody was running around in jackets looking like they were in Chicago in January.
Lmao, that brings back memories of going to open gym in high school while wearing basketball shorts in -40 with my winter jacket on
its true, legs are immune to cold. shorts and a jacket is a reasonable outfit
Yeh 0C was exactly what I thought and then you mentioned it.
The quick conversation I use is take off 30 and half the rest to go F to C or double it and add 30 to go C to F.
20C doubled is 40 and add 30. 70F
80F take off 30 is 50. Half that is 25. 25C
It’s not completely accurate but close enough for conversation purposes.
F = C * 1.8 + 32
Just want to leave this here
And if you want to do the math fast and just get close enough, you can just do “double it and add 30”.
Oh come on. Now you expect us to learn math too??
Paraphrasing an old meme:
Fahrenheit - how hot humans feel
Celsius - how hot water feels
Kelvin - how hot atoms feelWhat about Rankine?
Pretentious freedom-loving atoms
How measuring devices see it:
| Celsius | How hot humans feel | | Fahrenheit | Measure Celsius and do a calculation | | Kelvin | Measure Celsius and do a calculation |
Clearly, Celsius is superior here
Shit use of the meme bro
Farhenhiet and Celsius are equally made up. All measurement systems that we use on human scales are made up. And in this case, farhenhiet is actually just better. More granular and more useful on a day to day basis. Yeah, it doesn’t have the freezing point of an arbitrary substance as the 0, nor the boiling point of an arbitrary substance at 100, but it has temperature you should immediately be concerned about coming into contact with outside of -20 and 120, temperatures you should be concerned about contacting outside of 10 and 90, and fairly normal weather between those two.
I don’t care too much about 100 being the boiling point of water, but 0 being the freezing point is really convenient. Most weather has something to do with water, negative temperatures mean snow and ice.
Fahrenheit: 0=cold, 50=mild, 100=hot
Celsius: 0=moderately cold, 50=dangerously hot, 100=deadIt makes no difference to me if the boiling point of water is 100°C or 212°F, if I see it boiling the pasta goes in.
In a scientific context Celsius and metric in general are superior without a doubt. But to live my life Fahrenheit works just fine.
The only important property of a temperature scale is that it exists and is agreed upon for science. Farhenhiet and Celsius do that job equally as well.

I can understand canadians wearing shorts on a 10° day, Aussies sometimes do the same. But what Australian wears a jacket on a 30°C day???
deleted by creator
I live in NSW and I’ve seen people wearing shorts in winter but nobody with a jacket if it’s 30. Long sleeved shirts for workers, yes sometimes. Umbrellas, yes, too. I didn’t know jackets were a thing for hot QLD days.
The sun is hot and stings as you say though, granted

I’m in Vic and have indeed worn jackets and jumpers while it’s 30 out. Although usually 25+ is when I start to get rid of some layers
