Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Being in Canada when talking with very senior Canadians (from before metric times) or just People from the US, I know they are talking in American Freedom Units when it comes to this. When they say anything high 90s I suspect we aren't talking about almost boiling water. Pretty much any number above 50 and I'm fairly sure they are still talking in American.
I also know when it comes to 37 in Phoenix in the first weekend of April it's time to head back north to cooler temperatures of the mid 20s. I also know an American might think I meant Alaska with those numbers for April so it can get a little tricky there but it's only the weather and not a lab experiment.
Things become more confusing if you are in Antarctica. I wonder how people deal with units there.
Cold, colder, and frostbite
At -40 there is no difference so it stops mattering very much
