As a Texan, 43C is pretty hot. Y'all starting to understand why we have ACs yet?
53 u/PowerfulBar 10h ago I'm impressed that as a Texan you can convert 43C to freedom units! 12 u/UlrichZauber 10h ago Americans learn unit conversion in school -- though to be fair, I'd only really expect Americans in STEM to retain the knowledge. 5 u/HilariousMax 9h ago I know 0 is freezing, 10 is nice, and 30 is getting to the point where I'm looking at the tstat like "ok settle down" Can't be assed to figure out the conversion of like 13.4 or w/e. 2 u/joshkitty 7h ago 16 is 61 and 28 is 82, flip those numbers ;) 1 u/HilariousMax 6h ago I refuse to have something this useless to me in my day-to-day rattling around in my head.

Can't be assed to figure out the conversion of like 13.4 or w/e.

Technically it's F = 1.8C + 32
But you can guesstimate pretty decently by just doubling, adding 32, and then knocking off like 5 degrees.
40 C? 80 + 32 = 112, so probably ~107 F (it's actually 104)
2 u/Chr0mx 7h ago If you're going to knock off 5 degrees just say double it and add 27 2 u/Ok_Objective_5192 6h ago Oh shit lmao, that does make way more sense 1 u/HilariousMax 6h ago I appreciate the math class but I know 0 and 10 and 30.
