Temperatur

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

I'm american and I know 10 C isn't even that cold because it's above freezing
- I live in the American South, and I’m happy to wear shorts outside at 10C (50 F), so long as it’s not windy…
  Now, a jacket at 30C (86F)… that’s a bit warm for me…
  F = C*(9/5)+32
  If you don’t want the ratio, 9/5=1.8
  To estimate the temperature conversion, multiply by 2 and add 32… then estimate a touch less… I eyeballed 10C to be 50ish before breaking out the calculator and finding it was 50 on the nose
- I'm American and I don't know what 30 C is, but at 70 F, we're wearing jackets.

how is °C written incorrectly twice? it was already correct in the first part of the meme

Meme made by an American kid.
- Or Australian. They made it upside-down.
- An American kid talking about temperatures the meme itself protests an American can't know?
  Okay, buddy.

Cº is the final boss of the C family of programming languages, once you've sharpened your senses to an objective double plus level of holy, minus any rust, you can finally get the degree.

It goes :
C°
C
C++
C++++ (or C# if you're tight for space)
C+ and C+++ were test versions that weren't widely deployed.
- This guy got his C degrees.
C goatse
Ok, that was clever

We'd be very pissed if we could read.

Canadians wearing shorts when cold.
Australians wearing jackets when hot.
(I inferred this through context. Ha!)
- Yes me too. I admit the illustrations did help.
Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8 but I still can't comprehend Celsius 🫠
- +20 to +25 is the perfect temperature Below is cold, above is hot
  At 0, snow and ice form, so +10 is in the middle between your regular room temperature and freezing (i.e. jacket weather)
  +30 is the kind of weather when you better be naked or wearing lightest of clothes or you're gonna get baked over time. Not deadly by any means, but highly uncomfortable.
- Water freezes at zero, so 10C is cold but only kinda cold.
  Humn body temperature is 37C so 30C is got but only kinda hot.

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)
- Maybe you're just dumb. That's always a possibility
- That'd make sense! But instead, Fahrenheit is based around the body temperature of a pig.
Bro.... Brooooooo.... I'm jealous of your faith in the american education system.
- I learned it in First Grade and nearly everyone I have talked to did as well, and I am in California which is rated as the #40 best state for public education, which puts me technically near the bottom. So unless someone happens to come from a state that is lower than California (10 states in descending order where last is worst: TN, FL, NC, OK, SC, AL, NM, NV, LA, or AZ), then chances are very tiny that they were not taught that basic fact in grade school, which was then repeatedly used in every science class afterwards.

C degrees?

100 degrees? That's pretty hot out.
- Id go as far as saying it would be boiling
They got Canada right, then I thought c degrees is a joke because australia inverted or something, but then American is also c degrees, so I'm thinking OP of the meme also needs some more clarity.

I live in Morocco and I’ve seen people wearing thick winter jackets in 45c, and then they’ll complain about it being too hot.

I'm gonna be so real, 10° is not that cold.

48 degrees F. Really isn't.

When I lived in Minnesota the shorts came out when we warmed up to even 1C. Yeah I'm American but I've lived a couple of years in Europe and I can math so I know what a C is. I still prefer F. But my wife likes D.

Been wearing mine into the minus numbers in the UK. Doesn't really get dangerously cold here, except for freak weather events.

Translation: Alaskans wearing shorts, Texans wearing jackets.

I mean, we know what ice and fire mean. And believe it or not, we know where both Canada and Australia are.

Australia is where Mozart is from, so that one is easy!

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!

My limit is basically -18C (0F). But I don't spend any time outside in that state. Parking lot to work entrance. I've gone an entire year no long pants.
- If all you do is go from house to car to building, then ya, you can get away with that

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?

x*1.8+32 = how you convert to °Freedom. We know how, we just don't acknowledge your °Communist temperature measurement.

slaps hood Times two plus thirty gets you there when you see the C.

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.

You don't need to do a conversion, you can just learn them intuitively. 0 is dangerously cold, 10 is cold, 20 is comfortable, 30 is hot, 40 is dangerously hot.
- That's the joke...?
  I wouldn't say that 0C is dangerous cold. For me, that's more like -20C, and -30C is really quite unpleasant.
- 30c is the perfect temperature. It's not hot it's nice. 40c is fine if you drink water and use shade. It's like saying 5c is dangerous bc it can kill you if you don't wear a jacket.
- 0 is when snow turns to ice, so slipping becomes a thing to be aware of. But more like -5 to -10 degrees since direct sunlight tends to melt it. It's not really that cold unless you're sitting naked outside.
It's easy to convert though. (Starts talking about mother fucking fractions)
Ok, Buddy.
2.54cm is easier for me because I do 2.04x + ½x.
8 inches? 16.32 + 4 = 20.32
12? 24.48 + 6 = 30.48
30? 61.20 + 15 = 76.20
60? 122.40 + 30 = 152.40
I don't know why, but I find this easier. Maybe because it's 4x, 2x, and ½ and my brain doesn't like adding 32 and working in 1.8.

It’s compared to what the temperature was the previous month/what your body is used to

This. I wear a t-shirt and shorts after winter when it's 10°C but I wear a jacket after summer when it's 20°C.

Lol 30°C is still nice, compared to those 37°+ that we get now

I know what it is. I just don’t know how the numbers translate.

This is true. At least the last panel is. Idk about the other two because I don't know centigrade.

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?"

10 C isn't even that cold???

Found the Canadian
- That is a factual statement

Then there's the temperateur, controlling the thermostat in France.

Damn, you got me.

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.

Even muricans will see it's thrice as warm /s

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!

I just wear shorts in whatever wether I haven't worn a pair of pants in almost 2 years if you exclude my uniform for a thing that I don't know to tell you

10C does not rep Aokiji; and 30C for Suzaku is kinda insulting for everyone south of the 30th parallel.
The temperatures are literally the only things that make sense in this statement 😂

It's how water feels sweetums

Multiply by 2 and add 32 right?

See this why we should my balls degree standard.

American: "But thoese are both cold"

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.

It only makes sense to you because you're accustomed to it, not because it's innately better at "gauging human comfort". All of us who grew up using metric know how to gauge comfort with Celsius. None of us bother with decimal fractions of a degree because there isn't a big enough difference between degrees to do so, so your argument about granularity falls apart pretty quick there. You lot don't have trouble with miles despite kilometres being more granular do you?
- Montreal Hotels had .5°C indications. I'll stick to °F for human comfort. km/h is the same problem in a way, I need three digits to represent reasonable highway speeds.
This is literally just you being used to one system but not the other. 16 to 26 sounds like a massive difference to me because it is. And decimals exist.
Hard disagree. Grew up in the US and moved to metric land. If we really need to, we can use .x (i.e. 10ths of a degree). However, not even my heat/aircon has half degrees. People seem to have no issue with it in 98.6 degrees (body temperature i.e. 37c) having decimals.

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.
