would someone explain to me why whenever european people are confronted with the idea of the imperial system their brain seems to shutdown into a slow state of oxygen preservation? I genuinely don't understand it.
"40c in f is 104????" yeah, round it, its 100f, you think we specify to the Nth degree here?
"86f doesn't really make sense" yeah, round it. 90 is pretty close, and who boy 90s are pretty hot.
"why isn't 50f the perfect temperature" you're literally just applying an arbitrary point on something entirely arbitrary. But ok. (also it is the perfect temperature range between 50-70f)
"how is -17c and 37c cold and hot???" literally round it bro, -20 and 40c are right there wow look at that now it makes more sense! Im pretty sure this commenter is aussie or something, so in their defense, anything under 70f is cold for them. Either that or they don't wear clothes, ever, because they're calculating the coldness with no clothing. for some reason.
"yeah but we also think of things in relation to the temperature of water, like freezing is when shit is icy, and also the relation to the boiling point" brother, water boils in fahrenheit as well (212f, but again, you're going to shocked by this one, you can round it down to 200f, wow look at that, it's like, pretty close.) sure the freezing point is still higher, but you really only get freezes here at super prolonged periods of just under 30f weather, or really cold snaps that stick around a bit. generally snow in 30f weather is, not really a thing, the ground is still warm enough it melts. ice doesn't form unless it's like, close to 0.
guys, i promise, it's not this hard. Just, think about it a little bit, please. You're killing me here!
I assure you, you get icy roads and snow at 28-30f. Upstate NY gets tons of snow and most of that is above 25f. I don't see it get in the teens too much. Single digits or colder is pretty rare. All depends on the region up here. Due to the lakes, it is all over the place.
it depends on where you are, obviously, but out here we generally don't get snow into about the 20-25f range, and we rarely get snow that sticks around 30f, it does snow then, but it all melts. as i previously said.
