Those aren’t supposed to be round on top.

    That is not why fahrenheit works the way it does

    You’re entirely right, but it’s fun to trigger people like you with a couple words that ultimately mean nothing.

    You are projecting your own ignorance over billions of people, because you yourself have no idea how it works.

    You mistake ignorance for simply not giving a fuck. I know what Celsius is, I know how it converts, I just don’t care.

    It’s very entertaining to be able to trigger people at will to crawl out of the like bugs and talk shit online, wasting their time on a topic that doesn’t matter in the slightest. It’s usually the Europeans, they seem to have a superiority complex about this specifically for some reason and love typing at length about it. Most other countries outside the EU region don’t bother, probably because it doesn’t matter.

    Also, here’s the obligatory reminder to the Europeans that the US began using metric in 1866 and officially switched to the metric system in 1975, it just wasn’t made mandatory to switch, so most didn’t. Because it doesn’t really matter for daily life which system is used.

      Ah, well here’s another one of those down votes you were looking for.

      Side note, I’m American. After getting a mechanical engineering degree is was clear to me that metric is just better. Maybe it doesn’t matter to you, maybe it doesn’t matter to most people, but if you actually have to spend time thinking about this stuff then it starts to matter.

      Epic projection comment. How very much your multi paragraph reply screams “I don’t care”.

      Hey. Remember when the beagle spacecraft totally slammed into the Martian countryside because someone used imperial units? 2 year wait for some good times.
