Pfffffft of course I know what C is. It's the third letter of the English alphabet! CC is for needles and CCC is probably boobs or something. And Cs is what allows people go get degrees. (/J)

CC is also metric, so it's impossible for an American to understand
I mean it's a ten base system it's dead easy ... You still got all your fingers right?
I use my fingers to count to 12. Dozenal or Death!
Big assumption about a country without universal health care and a storied love of fireworks.
I didn't assume. I asked :-p
Fair
It’s compared to what the temperature was the previous month/what your body is used to

It's easy to convert though. (212-32)/100 = 1.8. So you multiply your temperature in C by 1.8, and then add 32, and you have your temperature in Fahrenheit. So if it's 30C out, (30*1.8) +32 = 86F.
It is, admittedly, easier to convert centimeters to inches; that conversion is exactly 2.54cm/in.
It's easy to convert though. (Starts talking about mother fucking fractions)
Ok, Buddy.

Lol 30°C is still nice, compared to those 37°+ that we get now
Then there's the temperateur, controlling the thermostat in France.
Context is pretty easy. If you didn't know what the C stood for than I guess...
But we all remember that we have forgotten how to convert F to C without just asking the internet.
And for that matter both of those things happen in this same country. Should've seen the looks I'd get from southerners when I was operating a ski lift in a T-shirt.
Edit: celebrating the first snow by jumping in a lake has also gotten colorful reactions from outsiders.
It's not long pants season until it hits 0C for some folks in New England. Ain't nobody wearing a jacket up to 30C though. The humidity kills up here, that would just be murder. It can get up to 40C, but we're generally all miserable then.
And yeah, I had to convert the temps online to make sure I knew what I was talking about. Well, minus 0C, I know that one.
I'm in a ski town in Colorado so you get the full mix here, but yeah by March it's t-shirt weather for the locals, tourists still show up dressed for an arctic expedition but whatever. Hell, isn't even the funniest thing that comes up, the resort does a costume week every spring so I did formal day in a dress shirt and tie on a fixie, which is a pretty physically intensive job. Favorite remark was a regular in the back of the line yelling "[name expunged] are you fucking bumping chairs in a tie?"
I know what it is. I just don’t know how the numbers translate.
Even muricans will see it's thrice as warm /s
Damn, you got me.
George RR Martin: "I should pretend that there's a song about this and name an extremely sporadic book series after it"
Don't know why there's a song about this game, but okay!
This is true. At least the last panel is. Idk about the other two because I don't know centigrade.
