Heatwaves in London are strange. You see a few people outside in light sweaters. It's like they don't know what to do. It's like they don't own t-shirts

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
I always wear long sleeved shirts, because I burn very quickly and don't want skin cancer and I really dislike applying sunscreen all the time.
Australians totally wear shorts all the way down to 0 degrees.
Kiwis too, on the south island while wearing jandals in June.
There's a lot of jackets in November with 20° weather, at least in Melbourne - I got so many chuffed looks for wearing a T-shirt in cloudy weather
North face is a seperate issue to weather
Yeah 10° isn't that cold, shit I've worn shorts when it's 10 °F
you've got me, I don't know what C° is, I only know °C
Now that you pointed it out, this annoys me more than people who put the currency sign after the amount.
Welcome to Europa were we do exactly that, as the placement of the currency symbol is a locale thing not a universal.

🫴5$ Take it an leave.
To me putting it first feels funny. Euro 100, instead of 100 euros. While writing it you need to remember to put the symbol before writing the amount. Funny thing
I dont know why that annoys me. It does annoy me but it shouldn't because at least it has a logic to it.
£2 Is spoken "two pounds" not "pound two"
Is because with it being before, you get to know that the number is for a currency immediately, instead of finding out it's a currency afterwards
FYI this is like 283 and 303 kelvin
What is that in Rankine?
509.4 and 545.4 °R respectively
You do realize that we're not ignorant to the metric system, right? Anyone with even the slightest interest in science and/or computing knows what celsius is.
I'm aware, but it's more fun this way.
For those who don’t know the quick and dirty conversion it’s double it and add 30. So both temps are ~50F and ~90F
Less quick and dirty is double it, take off 10% and add 32. So both temperatures are exactly 50°F and 86°F
That's not less quick and dirty that's clean and true.
Im one of the few people in America that uses C unironically
Does everyone ask you "whats that in Fahrenheit"?
Yup
Do you also say random words in foreign languages and then explain that "ライブラリー" means "biblioteca"?
No but sometimes but my vocabulary randomly and sometimes for no reason at all contains some words that British ppl use and sometimes Australian :3
(Although its extremely tempting to learn German just so I can randomly start speaking in German)
I can tell you, that as a native German speaker, deeply submerged in English media and programming languages, sometimes I don't remember the German word and just insert English words into my sentences and everybody above the age of 45 gets extremely angry about that, while everyone below that age will just blink, nod and then go along.
It's a really weird level of Zweisprachigkeit when you suddenly start to mix words.
You are one of the good ones..
Thanccs :3
