I would be terrified too if i saw someone use C°

°C is a much better way to measure temperature

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

Really? Stone. Shall I go on?

ELI5: Why some people use term "freedom units" for "imperial units"? They are the same (except gallon and bushel, whatever that may be).

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Can confirm. I have no idea how much I weigh, my height, or what the temperature is outside of imperial units and Fahrenheit.

We measure drugs, pools, and PC temps in metric

Grams for drugs unless it's seized by the police, then it's kilos 😂

Pools in meters (or yards depending on location)

And PC temps are always Celsius

Metric isn't scary, we just use it for random things and it makes no sense

We also do alcohol in ml (750ml bottles are standard) unless it's beer which is usually in 12oz cans.

Nothing makes sense

1kg = double it and add a little lb
1lb = just under half kg

1cm = just under half in
1in = a little more than double cm

F vs C = give up

[-] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

1 kg = 2 * lb + 1/5 * lb (lucky for us 5 is a prime factor of base 10)

[-] Grabthar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

For above freezing, terrestrial temperatures, Canadians have long depended on the "double it and add 30" rule to understand freedom temperature units while travelling.

To easily convert between F and C, simply cool the thing down to -40° and you're good you go

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 week ago

For F and C, there's a 10% variation from double/divide (5/9 vs 9/5).

So add or subtract 10% after doing that part.

[-] droans@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

It's exactly (C*9/5)+32. That's not a rough formula, it's exact.

What a stupid meme to get blocked over with worldwide fascism on the rise

I can see you chose your username well (I mean the angry part).

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

You know I hear this a lot but yours is the first time that didn't seem hugely antagonistic

Thank you for that

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Well, the way I see it, autism isn't something a person gets to choose or change, but being angry is. I thought that distinction was important.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

Well you're wrong in this case, my anger is largely medical and does not respond to treatment. But that's for making the asshole assumption as usual. Enjoy your block.

My entire life is filled with people like you who assume I am this way because I enjoy it, as if I would CHOOSE to seethe 12 hours a day, and the decades of isolated social hell I've had to endure because of it makes rancid little grease stain replies like yours oh so much more infuriating.

You'll give a medical exception to ANY behavior except an angry white man
