Temperature translation for non-Americans:

70°F ≈ 21.1°C
50°F = 10°C
20°F ≈ -6.7°C

Conversion for the Midwest

70f= nice out 50f= nice out 20f= bring a hoodie. It's nice out.

-10f - damn. Snot froze. That's inconvenient. Still, look at those sun dogs. It's nice out.

-40 - my eyes froze shut when I blinked... It's darn cold.

It's currently 50F° in my living room. It's been like this since start of December. Heating is for weaklings.

Wouldn't mold like warm and wet air? Not dry and cold?

You don't want your walls to get below the dew point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I see, that makes sense!

My dogs start to shiver inside at like 55, but will spend all day outside at 30 and love every minute of it. Fuckin weirdos. So we compromise, they get the heat, the fluffy pillows, and wrapped in blankets, and I get to live with them.

Here's an easy way for disadvantaged yanks to learn Celsius:

40C = 104F perfect hot tub temp
30C = 86F hot day
20C = 68F nice cool day
10C = 50F chilly day
0C = 32F freezing

Commit these to memory, then it's exactly 9F for every 5C in between. (or about 2:1)

[da fak with the downvotes? Just refuse to learn?]

[–] Dozzi92 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You give multiple references and say remember these and then do some estimations. Just subtract 30, divide by 2. 80F is approximately 25C. I'm not cooking meth here I'm arguing on the Internet.

[–] Pretzilla 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fine but I'm offering a simplified and exact conversion method that mostly only requires memorizing four numbers

[–] Dozzi92 2 points 1 year ago

I suppose there are different ways to learn and whatever works! Always good to have options.

So close to downvoting.. finger swiping that way... Why no other downvotes to this jerk?... Swiping... Reading... Swiping.. last sentence.. "oh, I love this motherfucker"

[how do I get that hard return on phone keyboard?]

End your line with two spaces.

Like
this,
see?

[–] jaybone 4 points 1 year ago

Lol Memmy interprets that as no spaces.

Nice, but should be "temperature translation for 99% of countries"

[–] EtherWhack 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know... I sort of like "temperature translation for non-murricans" better.
