When you use Celsius from birth 41C does make you say FORTY ONE DEGREES?!!!

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.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

But it's also underwhelming when your usual reference for over 100 is, "WHAT IT'S HOT ENOUGH TO BOIL WATER OUTSIDE!?"

American: IT'S A HUNDRED AND SEVEN DEGREES OUTSIDE

Civilized people: no it fucking ain't, you overdramatic princess

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.

[-] Ezergill@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

I think they've meant world's view, not worldview

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

geographically unique

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.
