you've got me, I don't know what C° is, I only know °C

Now that you pointed it out, this annoys me more than people who put the currency sign after the amount.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 49 points 1 week ago (32 children)

Welcome to Europa were we do exactly that, as the placement of the currency symbol is a locale thing not a universal.

To me putting it first feels funny. Euro 100, instead of 100 euros. While writing it you need to remember to put the symbol before writing the amount. Funny thing

I dont know why that annoys me. It does annoy me but it shouldn't because at least it has a logic to it.

£2 Is spoken "two pounds" not "pound two"

Heatwaves in London are strange. You see a few people outside in light sweaters. It's like they don't know what to do. It's like they don't own t-shirts

You do realize that we're not ignorant to the metric system, right? Anyone with even the slightest interest in science and/or computing knows what celsius is.

An Australian family moved to my town on some kind of exchange and yah, the one kid was still wearing a jacket at 30. Literally never wasn't cold.

Taught us how to play cricket, he was a cool kid.

For those who don’t know the quick and dirty conversion it’s double it and add 30. So both temps are ~50F and ~90F

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Less quick and dirty is double it, take off 10% and add 32. So both temperatures are exactly 50°F and 86°F

[–] untorquer@quokk.au 10 points 1 week ago

That's not less quick and dirty that's clean and true.

10° is a completely normal temperature to wear shorts at

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

That's not even flexing with the shorts. It's -15°C that's the flex

"When will I ever use this in real life?!?" I wonder how successful "to understand the international memes" would be in the classroom 🤔

Australians totally wear shorts all the way down to 0 degrees.

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Kiwis too, on the south island while wearing jandals in June.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are jandals sandals that are made out of jeans?

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Short for "Japanese sandals", the term used for flip-flops in New Zealand. Aussies call them thongs, but you know how Aussies are.

Yeah but, 10c is 50f, which is not cold for shorts. Maybe cool at best? I wear shorts year round though 😬.

[–] Tenniswaffles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That entirely depends on where you live and what temperatures you're used too. I live in a hot part of Australia and absolutely wouldn't wear shorts in 10c because my body is acclimated to hotter weather.
