Yay :3
We are so fucked. Corporations pouring money into AI data centres just to keep the house of cards going, while on a policy level North America is actively encouraging it and the average person still isn't convinced it's even something to worry about.
Down voted because Fahrenheit, Celsius or kelvin please
Skill issue, learn both.
F Is easy. 32F is freezing, 0 is the freezing point of a saturated solution of calcium chloride and sodium chloride brine, and 100F was meant to be average human body temperature but Fahrenheit was retarded and he used a horse instead, so now F is perfect for horses.
Mr. Hands would be thrilled.
Both K and C
If I have to use Farenheit, so should you.
Don't worry, soon people will all switch (buy buy buy!) to electric cars and the problem will be fixed forever. Unless it's not economically advantageous to do so. In that case we will keep burning fossil fuel since its cheaper than EVs that would be marginally better. Anyway I'm sure we, or AI, will find solutions soon.
Don't point out my giant SUV, I recycle and have reusable bags! It's not my fault.
