This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When people give a temp in C, I convert it to F like anyone capable of reading/writing should be able to do. I've lived in Europe but I haven't internalized the conversion very well. I would think someone might be able to convert it the other way as well. It is okay to just say, "I don't like the US and I want to be an asshole." You know, if that's the case. None of us have any idea, your motives are completely obscured from our discernment.
I disagree with the person you are responding too (I don't think it's impolite to use F), but to be fair C to F is "double and add 32" (technically 9/5+32), which is very easy to compute, while the reverse is -32 and then /2, which is generally harder (I think most people find subtractions harder).
I know the formula but rather than calculate 9/5 or 5/9 I just do a quick search, for example "-20f to c" and have the answer in three seconds.
