FYI this is like 283 and 303 kelvin
What is that in Rankine?
509.4 and 545.4 °R respectively
If anyone needs it: it’s 12.750 and 23.250 °Rø respectively
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
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.
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…
No shit
If you want precision then don’t take a shortcut
Im one of the few people in America that uses C unironically
Does everyone ask you “whats that in Fahrenheit”?
Yup
Do you also say random words in foreign languages and then explain that “ライブラリー” means “biblioteca”?
No but sometimes but my vocabulary randomly and sometimes for no reason at all contains some words that British ppl use and sometimes Australian :3
(Although its extremely tempting to learn German just so I can randomly start speaking in German)
I can tell you, that as a native German speaker, deeply submerged in English media and programming languages, sometimes I don’t remember the German word and just insert English words into my sentences and everybody above the age of 45 gets extremely angry about that, while everyone below that age will just blink, nod and then go along.
It’s a really weird level of Zweisprachigkeit when you suddenly start to mix words.
Same (not a programmer, though). Some words in other languages are more precise or fun. Same goes for proverbs and idioms.
Just randomly agree with someone with a simple Genau while nodding your head.
You are one of the good ones…
Thanccs :3
10° is a completely normal temperature to wear shorts at
Australians totally wear shorts all the way down to 0 degrees.
Yeah 10° isn’t that cold, shit I’ve worn shorts when it’s 10 °F
There’s a lot of jackets in November with 20° weather, at least in Melbourne - I got so many chuffed looks for wearing a T-shirt in cloudy weather
“When will I ever use this in real life?!?” I wonder how successful “to understand the international memes” would be in the classroom 🤔
Yeah but, 10c is 50f, which is not cold for shorts. Maybe cool at best? I wear shorts year round though 😬.
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.
In Canada 10C is warm.
Yes, that’s the exact point I’m making. If you’re used to colder than 10c, then 10c isn’t very cold to you.
Very true. Especially if it’s breezy.
if you been in stem in the US, you would use metric. people get wierd when you say kg, instead of lbs, or m/KM instead of miles.
Just use Clicks. Then people will thank you for your service.
Ah, you see it’s easy! 10°C is 70°F in Canada and 30°C is 35°F in Australia. Fahrenheit is based upon comfortable temperature and since that differs by person and population the amount differs too!
Celsius is just boring old math though. Kind of like metric measurements. Everything devisable by 1000? Pffft, boooring! Give me my 600 feet to the mile and 8-1/2 football fields to league like a truely patriotic measuring system! Did I mention I actually prefer needing a lookup table to figure out unit conversions.
Come to New Zealand, we wear shorts (or stubbies as they are known over here) all year round!
its cold in New Zeeland?
Yes, nothing like some places in the northern hemisphere but it can get to -2c in some places down south. Currently it is 5c haha
Americans are used to being able to infer unknown scales of measurement
Do Canadians also don’t know why they did this as kids
30c is what my CPU is at when idle.
I don’t really get the hate for fahrenheit. It’s a nice 0 to 100 scale for everyday weather temperatures. But also every 10 degrees is different enough that you don’t even need to be precise when talking about it: “We’ll probably need the AC today, it’s going to be in the 80s”.
I’m an American that’s all for converting to metric but I would still use fahrenheit for weather since it’s just so easy and convenient.
I know neither one is freezing. Or boiling, because my coffee brews at 95° C, max.
