It is like you can't even make small talk with Americans 🥔🤷🏻‍♀️

*talking about the weather*

Him: says something about the weather in °F expecting a reaction on my part.
Me: *awkward pause* Yea I have no idea what that means, my brain works in °C 🥔🤷🏻‍♀️

*awkward silence*

*Me: Regretting that I joined the meeting two minutes early*.

*Him: butthurt for the rest of the meeting because I didn't understand °F and possibly feels offended by me for the rest of his life*

Anything over 80 is hot in Fahrenheit.
If he’s going to be in another meeting talk in degrees Kelvin..
300 degrees is normal room temperature!
We are struggling to make it to 20 Celsius …it’s June!
Is there potato temperature scale?

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Potatoes are temporarily using Celsius until we develop potato temp scale and it becomes the universal scale (replace both C and F)

That's what you get for dealing in °C(ommunism) instead of °F(reedom)!

@Elessar IS THIS WHAT C AND F STAND FOR 🥔😲🥔🥴

Gotta do some translation and help 'em out a lil. I always give local temps in Fahrenheit because they don't speak good.

Then learn F Not a huge problem. Rough estimate is that there are 2 degrees F for every degree C. The biggest difference is where each put 0.

@hippyjoe1955 No I won't.

@BittersweetPotato Then be an intolerant snob. No sweat off my brow.

-32 is the freezing point and 212 is boiling.

We americans came along and changed everything, we set the "Standard" for every type of measurement (temperature, weight, quantity and size measurements) we changed the way things are spelled because the rest of the uncivilized world has been doing it wrong since the beginning of time.
when is the rest of the world going to see things our way? 😆

@Bang5luts Metric is the measures of the science technocrat. Imperial is the measure of the man on the job.
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@Bang5luts Don't fret over it. All this (spelling/scales etc) is going to change for Americans and non Americans anyway, as potatoes are making universal changes underway and everyone will have to comply with the new potato way.

We should all measure instead by potatoes per square meter of soil.

@basilfawlty89 Totally 🥔🥴 Thanks for bringing this up!

I hate how I always take the time to convert C into F for them but they wouldn't ever think of doing the same for me.
Captainjackass · 31-35, M
Meeh some people are just looking for an excuse to be butthurt. Probably to help deal with their butt actually hurting.
