I mean, Americans know 0C is the freezing temperature of water and 100C is the boiling temperature of water, so even with that most basic information taught in like, First Grade Science, people can understand the meme.
People wearing shorts in the cold vs people wearing jackets in the heat.
You overestimate the public education system in my state; especially when I was in grade school.
(I thought it was 100°F boiling and 0°F was freezing)
Maybe you're just dumb. That's always a possibility
That’s what I was implying.
That'd make sense! But instead, Fahrenheit is based around the body temperature of a pig.
I’m curious where you heard that? Obviously a statement like that made me want to know more, but I’m not finding any information about it.
Bro.... Brooooooo.... I'm jealous of your faith in the american education system.
I learned it in First Grade and nearly everyone I have talked to did as well, and I am in California which is rated as the #40 best state for public education, which puts me technically near the bottom. So unless someone happens to come from a state that is lower than California (10 states in descending order where last is worst: TN, FL, NC, OK, SC, AL, NM, NV, LA, or AZ), then chances are very tiny that they were not taught that basic fact in grade school, which was then repeatedly used in every science class afterwards.
