I switched all my devices to Celsius, learned it, and haven’t looked back since.

That's fine right up to when you're complaining about the temperature to an american.

That's fine right up to when you're complaining about the temperature to an american.

But I am an American. To learn Celsius I came up with a quick heuristic to do “accurate enough” conversions for the months between switching off Fahrenheit and getting to the point where I knew Celsius well enough.

So I can pretty quickly go from Celsius to Fahrenheit for my ignorant compatriots.

Edit: For anyone downvoting me, if it’s because I called people who don’t know Celsius “ignorant,” please understand I’m using this definition: “lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing.”

Not this one: “lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated,” nor this one: “discourteous or rude.”

We are all ignorant about things we don’t know about. No shame in ignorance, it’s the default state of all living beings!

Knowledge is the light in the darkness of ignorance.
