A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
And metric vs imperial (with the exceptions of about three small countries in Africa and Asia, the UK (which uses both systems interchangeably), and NASA).
You cannot equate a scale with a name.
They just did
You can add on Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Ireland and South Africa.
Most of Europe including anyone in UK under 60, Asia, Japan, China, Australia. People in engineering and science.
Not many use Fahrenheit.
I always get confused with US based people mentioning 38F during the winter 😂.
This graph makes sense. Football vs soccer is another one of these.
I prefer Farenheit for weather and celsius for everything else.
0 being "really fuckin cold outside" and 100 being "really fuckin hot outside" has a natural intuitiveness. But when you're cooking or doing science or engineering, normalizing your scale around the phases of water is a lot more handy.
I'm from Sydney, Australia and 0°C is "really fuckin cold outside"! For us anyway lol.
Fuck, 10 °C is "really fuckin cold outside" for me in Brissy.
Are you from Canada?
Probably not as -17c (0F) is not "Really fucking cold outside".
Fahrenheit for anything other than ovens feels so wrong haha (I am canadian)
On that note, other parts of the world what unit of measurement do you use for ovens?
I use Celsius for the oven. Most of the stuff I use the oven for defaults to 180 degrees.
We use Celsius like for everything else
Celsius for your ovens? In canada we use faranheit only on ovens for some reason
Is that because most of your recipes are from the US?
Good question! That could be the case, we do use imperial measurements in our recipes also
