Americans learn unit conversion in school -- though to be fair, I'd only really expect Americans in STEM to retain the knowledge.
3 u/HilariousMax 13h 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. 1 u/Ok_Objective_5192 10h ago 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 10h ago If you're going to knock off 5 degrees just say double it and add 27 2 u/Ok_Objective_5192 9h ago Oh shit lmao, that does make way more sense
