    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

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

    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.

        +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.

          I take it in tens.

          -20° to -10° is full parka weather. Your breath freezes on your clothes and moisture in the air dries up.

          -10° to 0° is winter coat and scarf weather. Damp cold. Snow and ice but you don’t feel like your eyeballs are freezing.

          0° to 10° Jacket weather. Early spring temps. Pretty mild in either direction.

          10° - 20° Hoodie and t-shirt to taste. Basically the comfortable human range for most.

          20°- 30° T-shirt time. Anything above 25 is solidly in swimming weather territory.

          30°- 40° Time to seek some shade. Heatstroke and heat exhaustion are variable in this range the low end is a health risk for seniors the high end is a risk for even the hardcore heat lovers in their prime.

              Depends, I am increasingly a shorts year round Canadian so yes? But I feel like it’s also acceptable hoodie and pants weather. Hence “to taste”.

        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.

      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)

        That’d make sense! But instead, Fahrenheit is based around the body temperature of a pig.

        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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

        I mostly wear trousers so the other parents don’t think I’m a freak. Also where I live rarely gets that cold, despite being in the literal arctic (coastal climate). Don’t have to go far inland for it to get cold af though.
