When you use Celsius from birth 41C does make you say FORTY ONE DEGREES?!!!
Yeah, but it hits different. Smaller number is smaller.
That's why I use Kelvin. THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DEGREES?!!
Degrees? While using Kelvin?? OP is a phony!
I'd excuse it as part of the joke
Should use Rankine with that logic. It comes out to 566.
Why not Centikelvin?
THIRTY ONE THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED CENTIKELVIN??!!!
Who is kelvin and why the fuck are his numbers so large
100%
It's just Americans having American perspectives promoted as world views.
It's about crossing into triple digits, a new order of magnitude, it feels heavy.
But it's also underwhelming when your usual reference for over 100 is, "WHAT IT'S HOT ENOUGH TO BOIL WATER OUTSIDE!?"
... for you.
It doesn't really though for people who doesn't use fahrenheit.
brother, that's what a world view is lmao, do you not understand this concept?
Most of us don't really go anywhere outside of the US, the entire continental US is the literal equivalent of the collective EU. What do you want me to say? I literally don't need to leave to US to experience something geographically unique.
I think they've meant world's view, not worldview
im pretty sure the world's view would be that we're parasites destroying the well balanced nature of the ecology of the earth, but that's just me.
Geographically perhaps. But the cultural and historical unique is something you are going to miss out on by staying inside your own home country for your entire life. You think your US regional differences are the same as the differences between two countries, but anyone who has experienced different countries will tell you in an instant that that is not so.
i mean culturally in terms of outside of the continental US sure. There's plenty of interesting and unique culture within the US if you just go looking for it. Though a lot of it is going to be somewhat westernized in essence. If you want more eastern culture, obviously you're going to have to go farther east, but i feel like that's a given.
On the other hand, if it was 107°C outside, the outrage would be so much more justified.
But much less vocal.
You know, because we'd all be dead.
No, he's right. The "one hundred" part really does add certain powers, Austin Powers
It's that extra "one" of incredulity.
40 degrees, that's just too hot.
41? You've got to be fucking kidding me.
In Australia we go with "Farkin hot"
