Curious, how easy is it for you to understand what X°F is?
I don't have the need to know it. But the comfort of rubes is not a reason to persist in a backward unit.
But again, the US is such a backward and sick country in so many other ways, that is even better they keep acting backwards. It's a reminder to the rest of the world to keep our distance.
That’s not particularly nice. I said nothing ill against you, and I feel it’d be implied by my question that I am one of the “rubes” you’re speaking of. Such an unwarranted jab.
And wishing for the suffering of 300,000,000 people is cruel.
I'll tell you what: when your country stops destroying other countries (including mine) for profit, I'll see if I can develop any empathy for you. Until then, you don't deserve it.
Google "XF to C". That easy.
Every time. I never use freedom units so if I read some reference points I'll forget them by the time I read the next freedom unit. I only know my height and what an inch is because of phones and screens.
Feet are not intuitive at all either, my gf has 5 on the US scale and I have 13.5, one is 22cm and the other is 31cm. That's a huge margin on what the us feet unit actually is. Turns out that feet are 30.48cm, so basically my feet is actually a us feet, yay. I'll forget this tomorrow. cm is arbitrary too, yeah, but at least it has the ease of conversion.
