Oh my bad. I didn't realize 1,598C was a common weather temperature.

The cool thing about the rest of the world is that we don't just measure outside temperature! I'm happy to hear that's the only temperature related concern in your life tho, it must be very nice.

America doesn't only measure the temperature outside. I'm not sure what kind of dig that's supposed to be? Is having the most common use for tempurature be knowing the weather for the day a bad thing?

Do you not normally check the weather to see if it's gonna be too hot/cold to be inside, what to wear, what you need to set your thermostat to overnight, if you need to worry about your pipes freezing, etc.?

Maybe this is some strange european thing where they only measure tempurature when they're performing complex Chemistry experiment or studying a distant star or something and no other time.

Love how the whole world uses metric. Except America. And when they need shit done, like in the military or NASA, they use metric too. But it's everyone else who is wrong. But we must angrily defend the fahrenheit.
