If those Americans could read Celsius they’d be very upset.
I’m american and I know 10 C isn’t even that cold because it’s above freezing
I’m American and I don’t know what 30 C is, but at 70 F, we’re wearing jackets.
I don’t think anyone knows what a C° is
Most every kid who has taken high school science should know what °C is, though
A C degree is an okay degree.
C’s get degrees
I’m doing my best not to prove that right, but I’m proving it right… especially math. I love it, but it does not love me.
down under.
Hence the meme face below it.
C degrees?
100 degrees? That’s pretty hot out.
Id go as far as saying it would be boiling
I mean, Americans know 0C is the freezing temperature of water and 100C is the boiling temperature of water, so even with that most basic information taught in like, First Grade Science, people can understand the meme.
People wearing shorts in the cold vs people wearing jackets in the heat.
You overestimate the public education system in my state; especially when I was in grade school.
(I thought it was 100°F boiling and 0°F was freezing)
Humidity and wind chill are more important than temperature IMO.
They are when the temperature is still relatively sane but uncomfortable. But once you get into severe temperature zones, it don’t mean shit. Like yeah 90F in Chicago is gonna feel about as hot as 110F in Phoenix because of the humidity. Anything over that is just reeeeeeeel fuckin hot regardless. I just spent a week in the Grand Canyon last summer and you use all kinds of innovative ways to stay cool in the 120F heat. But for some reason in the early evening when it would hit 130F it just felt like an oven no matter what you did. 10/10 trip tho would absolutely do it again!
This is true. At least the last panel is. Idk about the other two because I don’t know centigrade.
I know what it is. I just don’t know how the numbers translate.
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.
Fahrenheit makes more sense for gauging human comfort. Most people can sense the difference in 1°F. Celsius crams half the degrees between boiling and freezing into one scale.
A difference of 10°F is notable, 10°C is quite notable. 60’s is cool, 80’s is hot. Now do a 20° difference in C. 16 to 26 doesn’t sound like a big difference.
Celsius works better for almost every other useful measurement. Go Kelvin if you must.
Is it C° because it’s down under?
how is °C written incorrectly twice? it was already correct in the first part of the meme
Those 2 temps are cold, why is there fire?
Found the Australian
Um, actually they are both far hotter than the sun’s surface. The whole meme should have melted.
No, 30 degrees is freezing temperature. 10 Degrees is below freezing. It should be very cold and chilly and these people should take the proper precautions, such as wearing coats and snow pants.
Ah, I did a little research and realized you are actually correct. Please accept my humble apology!
