Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

As an American engineer, I see the value in Celsius over Fahrenheit, so I've been slowly changing all of my references to temperature, like my weather app, the weather units in my car, etc. to Celsius.
Didn't take that long to get used to it as long as you associated different weather "feels" with multiples of 10.
0 °C = obviously cold and I need pants and an overcoat
10 °C = chilly on a wet rainy day, pants and maybe a sweater or jacket
20 °C = comfortable, shorts and a long sleeve if cloudy or short sleeve if sunny
30 °C = hot, definitely shorts and a T-shirt
Americans are resistant to change though, so I don't expect this to take off anytime soon.
You left off -10 and -20. Those happened this week where I am 💀
