Pfffffft of course I know what C is. It's the third letter of the English alphabet! CC is for needles and CCC is probably boobs or something. And Cs is what allows people go get degrees. (/J)
CC is also metric, so it's impossible for an American to understand
I mean it's a ten base system it's dead easy ... You still got all your fingers right?
I use my fingers to count to 12. Dozenal or Death!
Big assumption about a country without universal health care and a storied love of fireworks.
I didn't assume. I asked :-p
Fair
It's easy to convert though. (212-32)/100 = 1.8. So you multiply your temperature in C by 1.8, and then add 32, and you have your temperature in Fahrenheit. So if it's 30C out, (30*1.8) +32 = 86F.
It is, admittedly, easier to convert centimeters to inches; that conversion is exactly 2.54cm/in.
It's easy to convert though. (Starts talking about mother fucking fractions)
Ok, Buddy.
2.54cm is easier for me because I do 2.04x + ½x.
8 inches? 16.32 + 4 = 20.32
12? 24.48 + 6 = 30.48
30? 61.20 + 15 = 76.20
60? 122.40 + 30 = 152.40
I don't know why, but I find this easier. Maybe because it's 4x, 2x, and ½ and my brain doesn't like adding 32 and working in 1.8.
It’s compared to what the temperature was the previous month/what your body is used to
Lol 30°C is still nice, compared to those 37°+ that we get now
Damn, you got me.
And for that matter both of those things happen in this same country. Should've seen the looks I'd get from southerners when I was operating a ski lift in a T-shirt.
Edit: celebrating the first snow by jumping in a lake has also gotten colorful reactions from outsiders.
I know what it is. I just don’t know how the numbers translate.
Then there's the temperateur, controlling the thermostat in France.
Context is pretty easy. If you didn't know what the C stood for than I guess...
But we all remember that we have forgotten how to convert F to C without just asking the internet.
Even muricans will see it's thrice as warm /s
This is true. At least the last panel is. Idk about the other two because I don't know centigrade.
