10 C isn't even that cold???

That is a factual statement

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

What your body considers cold depends on what it is used to. My body is used to Texas weather and I consider 10 c (50 f) to be hoodie and pant weather.

You might consider that to mean my body is used to a very hot temperature. But I've been on trips to places closer to the equator where, at 18 c (65 f), I would be wearing shorts and the locals are wearing their thickest sweaters (which are pretty light by my standards).

There are Siberians out there who might consider what you consider to be cold to not be that cold.

Cold and hot are relative.

I know that, its just a joke...

See this why we should my balls degree standard.

Then there's the temperateur, controlling the thermostat in France.

Lol 30°C is still nice, compared to those 37°+ that we get now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Context is pretty easy. If you didn't know what the C stood for than I guess...

But we all remember that we have forgotten how to convert F to C without just asking the internet.

I mean, we know what ice and fire mean. And believe it or not, we know where both Canada and Australia are.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Australia is where Mozart is from, so that one is easy!

I'm gonna be so real, 10° is not that cold.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

48 degrees F. Really isn't.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (3 children)

It's easy to convert though. (212-32)/100 = 1.8. So you multiply your temperature in C by 1.8, and then add 32, and you have your temperature in Fahrenheit. So if it's 30C out, (30*1.8) +32 = 86F.

It is, admittedly, easier to convert centimeters to inches; that conversion is exactly 2.54cm/in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

2.54cm is easier for me because I do 2.04x + ½x.

8 inches? 16.32 + 4 = 20.32

12? 24.48 + 6 = 30.48

30? 61.20 + 15 = 76.20

60? 122.40 + 30 = 152.40

I don't know why, but I find this easier. Maybe because it's 4x, 2x, and ½ and my brain doesn't like adding 32 and working in 1.8.

It's easy to convert though. (Starts talking about mother fucking fractions)

Ok, Buddy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (3 children)

You don't need to do a conversion, you can just learn them intuitively. 0 is dangerously cold, 10 is cold, 20 is comfortable, 30 is hot, 40 is dangerously hot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

0 is when snow turns to ice, so slipping becomes a thing to be aware of. But more like -5 to -10 degrees since direct sunlight tends to melt it. It's not really that cold unless you're sitting naked outside.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

30c is the perfect temperature. It's not hot it's nice. 40c is fine if you drink water and use shade. It's like saying 5c is dangerous bc it can kill you if you don't wear a jacket.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

30c + 90% humidity of Brisbane disagrees.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That's funny because I was thinking Brisbane has perfect weather.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That's the joke...?

I wouldn't say that 0C is dangerous cold. For me, that's more like -20C, and -30C is really quite unpleasant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

it depends on the cloth you have

I live in a very warm country

I literally don't have clothes that I could use if the temperature got negative

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

A lot of it is individual adaptation. People in colder climates may wear clothing very similar to people in warmer climates, but are just used to the colder temperatures. Someone from a colder country would probably end up getting heat stroke in your country while wearing the same clothing as you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Under 20c is cold, 32c is ideal and 42c+ is not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Whoah there, 20c° is shorts weather, let’s not get carried away. In winter, it’s a comfy setting for the thermostat (speaking from New England). If it were 32c°, I’m sitting inside in air conditioning

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

20c is pants and jacket time! 32c is the high everyday. It's just normal and certainly not hot.
