you've got me, I don't know what C° is, I only know °C

Now that you pointed it out, this annoys me more than people who put the currency sign after the amount.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 49 points 2 days ago (32 children)

Welcome to Europa were we do exactly that, as the placement of the currency symbol is a locale thing not a universal.

To me putting it first feels funny. Euro 100, instead of 100 euros. While writing it you need to remember to put the symbol before writing the amount. Funny thing

I dont know why that annoys me. It does annoy me but it shouldn't because at least it has a logic to it.

£2 Is spoken "two pounds" not "pound two"

Yeah but, 10c is 50f, which is not cold for shorts. Maybe cool at best? I wear shorts year round though 😬.

[–] Tenniswaffles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That entirely depends on where you live and what temperatures you're used too. I live in a hot part of Australia and absolutely wouldn't wear shorts in 10c because my body is acclimated to hotter weather.

An Australian family moved to my town on some kind of exchange and yah, the one kid was still wearing a jacket at 30. Literally never wasn't cold.

Taught us how to play cricket, he was a cool kid.

Heatwaves in London are strange. You see a few people outside in light sweaters. It's like they don't know what to do. It's like they don't own t-shirts

I'm aware, but it's more fun this way.

I don't really get the hate for fahrenheit. It's a nice 0 to 100 scale for everyday weather temperatures. But also every 10 degrees is different enough that you don't even need to be precise when talking about it: "We'll probably need the AC today, it's going to be in the 80s".

I'm an American that's all for converting to metric but I would still use fahrenheit for weather since it's just so easy and convenient.

"When will I ever use this in real life?!?" I wonder how successful "to understand the international memes" would be in the classroom 🤔

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

10° is a completely normal temperature to wear shorts at

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

That's not even flexing with the shorts. It's -15°C that's the flex

[–] MrOtingocni@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Of course I do, it stands for Percentage of Commie.

These poor folks don't even know in a free country you can wear jackets and shorts any time you like.

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

You dropped de minus on 10C.

[–] lordziv 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Come to New Zealand, we wear shorts (or stubbies as they are known over here) all year round!

I love the Kiwi lingo.

You do realize that we're not ignorant to the metric system, right? Anyone with even the slightest interest in science and/or computing knows what celsius is.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

For those who don’t know the quick and dirty conversion it’s double it and add 30. So both temps are ~50F and ~90F

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Less quick and dirty is double it, take off 10% and add 32. So both temperatures are exactly 50°F and 86°F

[–] untorquer@quokk.au 10 points 2 days ago

That's not less quick and dirty that's clean and true.

Australians totally wear shorts all the way down to 0 degrees.
