How to measure things like a Canadian?
(lemmy.zip)
Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.
...Are you saying that the rest of the world have not a single idea, which temperature is burning hot and which temperature is freezing cold?
All of that is just a matter of habits/familiarity. If you are used to Celcius, you know 0β is freezing cold, like literally. Anything beyond 40β is "shit just got real" territory.
If you want to call out "but 40 is not an intuitive number!!" then I would briefly mention that 212β is not an intuitive number for the boiling point of water either.
