Imagine you are one if the only countries that use Fahrenheit and just assume that everyone knows what you are talking about when you say degrees without a unit is the essence of american personality
Imagine not understanding that single digits == cold and triple digits== hot. It's funny how everyone else seemed to figure it out.
Let's use our child brain for a minute so hopefully I can help you understand this. Let's assume that the initial post was in celcius. Single digits is cool and livable. What about triple digits? Do you think that living at triple digits celcius is even a viable option? Did you really need someone to identify the unit of measure for you to understand the question?
Your pedantry makes you look like an idiot that has no critical thinking ability.
Well I stated that it is about Fahrenheit, so I seem to have understood what it's about
Does nobody actually read the actual post any more before commenting?
Your original post doesn't say Fahrenheit anywhere though. I mean, I'm a USian so I knew what you meant by "freedom degrees" but I don't think it's fair to act like everyone in the world who might see this post would know that phrase means Fahrenheit.
I mean… I guess? I just figured any English speaker, when presented with “freedom degrees” versus “sane parts of the world” would get it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
