I don’t think anyone knows what a C° is
Most every kid who has taken high school science should know what °C is, though

A C degree is an okay degree.
C’s get degrees
I'm doing my best not to prove that right, but I'm proving it right... especially math. I love it, but it does not love me.
Hey… D stands for Diploma.
B stands for “Better than I thought I’d do.”
And A is for Addicted to Adderall
Anything to the zeroth power is 1. Quick maths.

If those Americans could read Celsius they'd be very upset.
I'm american and I know 10 C isn't even that cold because it's above freezing
I live in the American South, and I’m happy to wear shorts outside at 10C (50 F), so long as it’s not windy…
Now, a jacket at 30C (86F)… that’s a bit warm for me…
F = C*(9/5)+32
If you don’t want the ratio, 9/5=1.8
To estimate the temperature conversion, multiply by 2 and add 32… then estimate a touch less… I eyeballed 10C to be 50ish before breaking out the calculator and finding it was 50 on the nose

how is °C written incorrectly twice? it was already correct in the first part of the meme
Meme made by an American kid.
C degrees?
100 degrees? That's pretty hot out.
Id go as far as saying it would be boiling

We'd be very pissed if we could read.
Canadians wearing shorts when cold.
Australians wearing jackets when hot.
(I inferred this through context. Ha!)
Yes me too. I admit the illustrations did help.
Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8 but I still can't comprehend Celsius 🫠
+20 to +25 is the perfect temperature Below is cold, above is hot
At 0, snow and ice form, so +10 is in the middle between your regular room temperature and freezing (i.e. jacket weather)
+30 is the kind of weather when you better be naked or wearing lightest of clothes or you're gonna get baked over time. Not deadly by any means, but highly uncomfortable.
I take it in tens.
-20° to -10° is full parka weather. Your breath freezes on your clothes and moisture in the air dries up.
-10° to 0° is winter coat and scarf weather. Damp cold. Snow and ice but you don't feel like your eyeballs are freezing.
0° to 10° Jacket weather. Early spring temps. Pretty mild in either direction.
10° - 20° Hoodie and t-shirt to taste. Basically the comfortable human range for most.
20°- 30° T-shirt time. Anything above 25 is solidly in swimming weather territory.
30°- 40° Time to seek some shade. Heatstroke and heat exhaustion are variable in this range the low end is a health risk for seniors the high end is a risk for even the hardcore heat lovers in their prime.

Water freezes at zero, so 10C is cold but only kinda cold.
Humn body temperature is 37C so 30C is got but only kinda hot.
I mean, Americans know 0C is the freezing temperature of water and 100C is the boiling temperature of water, so even with that most basic information taught in like, First Grade Science, people can understand the meme.
People wearing shorts in the cold vs people wearing jackets in the heat.
You overestimate the public education system in my state; especially when I was in grade school.
(I thought it was 100°F boiling and 0°F was freezing)
Maybe you're just dumb. That's always a possibility
That’s what I was implying.
That'd make sense! But instead, Fahrenheit is based around the body temperature of a pig.

I live in Morocco and I’ve seen people wearing thick winter jackets in 45c, and then they’ll complain about it being too hot.
You have to suffer for fashion. It's called "drip" because of all the sweat.

When I lived in Minnesota the shorts came out when we warmed up to even 1C. Yeah I'm American but I've lived a couple of years in Europe and I can math so I know what a C is. I still prefer F. But my wife likes D.

Pfffffft of course I know what C is. It's the third letter of the English alphabet! CC is for needles and CCC is probably boobs or something. And Cs is what allows people go get degrees. (/J)
CC is also metric, so it's impossible for an American to understand
I mean it's a ten base system it's dead easy ... You still got all your fingers right?

I feel justified wearing shorts at any temperature above freezing. Its 4°C now and I'm sweating in jeans and a t-shirt.

x*1.8+32 = how you convert to °Freedom. We know how, we just don't acknowledge your °Communist temperature measurement.
slaps hood Times two plus thirty gets you there when you see the C.
