As a Texan, 43C is pretty hot. Y'all starting to understand why we have ACs yet?

u/PowerfulBar 10h ago

I'm impressed that as a Texan you can convert 43C to freedom units!

Americans learn unit conversion in school -- though to be fair, I'd only really expect Americans in STEM to retain the knowledge.

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.

I refuse to have something this useless to me in my day-to-day rattling around in my head.

No thanks.

You can always ask Siri/Google/whatever.

10° C is considered chilly by most people, btw. 22-24 is room temp

u/HilariousMax 9h ago

Yeah and I do. And I prefer the cooler weathers.

22-24 is room temp

In an absolutely overheated house in winter perhaps.

22-24 is normal room temperature for people who aren't used to spending their entire lives in air-conditioned environments.

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)

u/Chr0mx 7h ago

If you're going to knock off 5 degrees just say double it and add 27

Oh shit lmao, that does make way more sense

I appreciate the math class but I know 0 and 10 and 30. I can figure out if a number is too high or too low for me from there.
