    I understand this logic, but since growing up with Celcius I just can’t intuitively convert the numbers. If I find a recipe where the oven needs to be at 350 (or whatever, I don’t know Fahrenheit), I automatically Google or ask ChatGPT to convert 😂

      Aaaand that’s why Americans don’t want to switch~

        So Americans reject logic because… feelings?

        Get with the program, every other country historically used different ways of measuring things and eventually managed to make the switch.

          Yup and that it wouldn’t be that useful for most people. It’d be a huge pain in the ass to reeducate the country too. Fools are proud. As long as the can buy milk they don’t care if it’s in liters or gallons.

          I try to try to remember the conversions, but it’s tricky and tedious. Iirc a mile is about 2.2 kilometers. A foot is shockingly close to 1/3 of a meter. 28°C is 82°F.

          I don’t care for the imperial system, I’m just forced to use it. Empires are bad in all forms.

          So I was going to say that Fahrenheit has a better range of numbers to know when going from 68 is comfy to 70 is too warm, but 20c to 21c is basically exactly the same. Fuck your logic though, -50f is colder than -50c and that’s all I care about.

      Also growing up with Celsius, I also don’t have any idea how temperatures in Fahrenheit should feel like. (except that 98°F is the human body temperature?) By the way, please don’t use ChatGPT for math stuff, not even for converting temperatures. It can be really wrong at times.

        With code interpreter it’s working well, and you can check the math.

      Use wolfram alpha for math, it actually gives you the correct result.

      Welcome to the club. I can’t even deal with recipes from other countries because I don’t have a kitchen scale lol

        I HIGHLY recommend getting an inexpensive digital kitchen scale, and use recipes that give ingredients in weight.
