x*1.8+32 = how you convert to °Freedom. We know how, we just don't acknowledge your °Communist temperature measurement.

Pfffffft of course I know what C is. It's the third letter of the English alphabet! CC is for needles and CCC is probably boobs or something. And Cs is what allows people go get degrees. (/J)

It's easy to convert though. (212-32)/100 = 1.8. So you multiply your temperature in C by 1.8, and then add 32, and you have your temperature in Fahrenheit. So if it's 30C out, (30*1.8) +32 = 86F.
It is, admittedly, easier to convert centimeters to inches; that conversion is exactly 2.54cm/in.
It's easy to convert though. (Starts talking about mother fucking fractions)
Ok, Buddy.
2.54cm is easier for me because I do 2.04x + ½x.
8 inches? 16.32 + 4 = 20.32
12? 24.48 + 6 = 30.48
30? 61.20 + 15 = 76.20
60? 122.40 + 30 = 152.40
I don't know why, but I find this easier. Maybe because it's 4x, 2x, and ½ and my brain doesn't like adding 32 and working in 1.8.

It’s compared to what the temperature was the previous month/what your body is used to

Lol 30°C is still nice, compared to those 37°+ that we get now
I know what it is. I just don’t know how the numbers translate.

Then there's the temperateur, controlling the thermostat in France.
Damn, you got me.
This is true. At least the last panel is. Idk about the other two because I don't know centigrade.
Even muricans will see it's thrice as warm /s
And for that matter both of those things happen in this same country. Should've seen the looks I'd get from southerners when I was operating a ski lift in a T-shirt.
Edit: celebrating the first snow by jumping in a lake has also gotten colorful reactions from outsiders.
It's not long pants season until it hits 0C for some folks in New England. Ain't nobody wearing a jacket up to 30C though. The humidity kills up here, that would just be murder. It can get up to 40C, but we're generally all miserable then.
And yeah, I had to convert the temps online to make sure I knew what I was talking about. Well, minus 0C, I know that one.

Context is pretty easy. If you didn't know what the C stood for than I guess...
But we all remember that we have forgotten how to convert F to C without just asking the internet.
