[dAnceguy117]

highs of 100 °F this week in birmingham

[inDheart]

Global warming is real baby

It's 109f right now outside bitches get on my level.

Come to Vancouver where it's been cloudy with rain with temperatures around 20 Celcius (73 F?).

Heck, even when it's sunny, it doesn't break 80.

See this is why I miss the east coast. ;-;

20 celsius is 68F :P

you multiply the celsius by 1.8 and then add 32 to get the same degrees in fahrenheit

also lucky!

Holy shit, how are fahrenheits still a thing!? This makes 0 sense.
Just reading wikipedia, the current definition of a fahrenheit seems to be "The temperature scale for which the freezing point of water is at 32 degrees, and boiling point is at 212 degrees".

I am baffled. This definition is even more random than I expected.

Edit: the 0 point of the unit was defined by a salt+ice solution of some Polish dude. Why does the US still support this ridiculous unit

i mostly agree with you, except you can tell when it's extremely hot in fahrenheit when it's at least 100 degrees

And you can't tell when it's extremely hot in celsius? Because how we name something changes what it is?

I'm not a fan of excessive heat so temperatures like this and last week are damn near unbearable. It was as high as 28 degrees yesterday and has averaged around 24-25 degrees all week. That's about 10 degrees higher than the average for July in Belfast.

specifically that solution is brine which is kinda useful at least

the stupider one is the 100 F reference, which i've always heard is the empirical temperature of fahrenheit's wife's armpit

you only need two reference points to define your own temperature scale. we did it in middle school

Still, brine... why brine, of all things!?
Nowadays, from the article, the referene points are 32 and 212, as I've quoted in my post, which are (I suppose) a consequence of having 0 be the temperature of brine and 100 be the temperature of Fahrenheit's wife's armpit (wow I didn't think it could get more ridiculous, but it did!)....

The day imperial units are abolished will be a great day. While we're at it, I wish Phillips screws would be dropped in favor of the much superior square screws. Gah, sometimes it's frustrating to be your neighbors, dear USA!

Just for fun, have a look at the chart of length units in the imperial system. It looks like a parody, but it's actually the real thing:

WHO'S THE ONE TO BLAME FOR SUPPORTING THIS IN 2016

Oh right. Conversion is weird.

that's not true

it used to rain a lot more and the actual city of los angeles only gets as hot as 90-95F during the summer

also plenty of places in california are much cooler like morro bay, oxnard, probably monterey, and a lot of places near the coast

also a few places have ice and snow in the winter like big bear and frazier park
