I would be terrified too if i saw someone use C°
°C is a much better way to measure temperature
We measure drugs, pools, and PC temps in metric
Grams for drugs unless it’s seized by the police, then it’s kilos 😂
Pools in meters (or yards depending on location)
And PC temps are always Celsius
Metric isn’t scary, we just use it for random things and it makes no sense
We also do alcohol in ml (750ml bottles are standard) unless it’s beer which is usually in 12oz cans.
Nothing makes sense
1kg = double it and add a little lb
1lb = just under half kg1cm = just under half in
1in = a little more than double cmF vs C = give up
To easily convert between F and C, simply cool the thing down to -40° and you’re good you go
C to F = 100 is too hot, 0 is too cold, 50 is just righ- ah damn it
F vs c is easier if you think in bands of temps. 15 C is about 60 F. Each ten degrees difference in F is about 5 degrees different in C. So 20 C is about 70 F. 10 C is about 50 F.
For F and C, there’s a 10% variation from double/divide (5/9 vs 9/5).
So add or subtract 10% after doing that part.
It’s exactly (C*9/5)+32. That’s not a rough formula, it’s exact.
Ok mr advanced mathematics with complex numbers
For above freezing, terrestrial temperatures, Canadians have long depended on the “double it and add 30” rule to understand freedom temperature units while travelling.
1 kg = 2 * lb + 1/5 * lb (lucky for us 5 is a prime factor of base 10)
basically me as I’m slowly learning metric
I’ve worked in some capacity of manufacturing for a while now so I’ve gotten used to going back and forth. You’ll get it!
Practice by thinking what the other would be any time someone mentions one.
Metric is for mass and Freedom Units™ are for weight. Because using the same unit of measure for both like metric does just because they happen to be on earth is stupid.
it’s a shame metric has no unit for force, real shame

Yawn.
Like this is the first time OP has heard of other units.
Why do you use Celsius when Kelvin exists?
Most likely I learned metric long before OP was even born, in the US ( it’s been taught in the US since the late 60’s).
You want us to throw away all our tools overnight? Recalculate every recipe, re-tool every process (with concomitant errors), etc, etc, etc, overnight? Are you paying for this?
The US is a big reason for metric being the standard
They were a founding member of the Metre Convention and wanted a unit that wasn’t British
Really? Stone. Shall I go on?
also 24 hr clock (military time)
You mean being able to count past 12?
Canada:
ELI5: Why some people use term “freedom units” for “imperial units”? They are the same (except gallon and bushel, whatever that may be).
Joke about US being a free society
Ill admit I use Centigrade…
i love how even when using celsius americans just cannot help it, it has to be “centigrade”
Didn’t even realize that 😅
Can confirm. I have no idea how much I weigh, my height, or what the temperature is outside of imperial units and Fahrenheit.
What a stupid meme to get blocked over with worldwide fascism on the rise
I can see you chose your username well (I mean the angry part).

You know I hear this a lot but yours is the first time that didn’t seem hugely antagonistic
Thank you for that
Well, the way I see it, autism isn’t something a person gets to choose or change, but being angry is. I thought that distinction was important.
Well you’re wrong in this case, my anger is largely medical and does not respond to treatment. But that’s for making the asshole assumption as usual. Enjoy your block.
My entire life is filled with people like you who assume I am this way because I enjoy it, as if I would CHOOSE to seethe 12 hours a day, and the decades of isolated social hell I’ve had to endure because of it makes rancid little grease stain replies like yours oh so much more infuriating.
You’ll give a medical exception to ANY behavior except an angry white man
you know maybe you shouldn’t be commenting a bunch online if you know you get irrationally angry
