will learning about meters give me huge balls?

Celsius vs Fahrenheit is an example of everyone being wrong because KELVIN is the SI unit of temperature and it is the most useful unit because it also functions as an ominous Mayan-calendar style clock ticking down to the end of the universe

Kelvin is just celsius with a different baseline, thus making celsius good.

I'm afraid Celsius is officially defined by the kelvin, not the other way around

none of the ancestor countries want modern "i'm x% whatever" americans to move there. I'm cool with dying because i'm miserable regardless but that's not going to work for most people.

I still remember when I three years ago made an effortpost about why americans should shut the fuck up with their weird "I'm from this country"-one-blood-drop-rule-bs. Made a lot of hexbears mad.
