When people give a temp in C, I convert it to F like anyone capable of reading/writing should be able to do. I’ve lived in Europe but I haven’t internalized the conversion very well. I would think someone might be able to convert it the other way as well. It is okay to just say, “I don’t like the US and I want to be an asshole.” You know, if that’s the case. None of us have any idea, your motives are completely obscured from our discernment.
Nah, I don’t have anything like that against US.
But out in the rest of the world it just makes sense to use standard units. Live the way you live in the US, but when you come elsewhere, including the parts of Internet not meant for US inhabitants only, do in Rome as Romans do.
The US doesn’t only make up only 5% of Lemmy though. I can’t find data, but it feels like 40% or more. I don’t complain when German people post in German. No need to complain when people from the US post using Fahrenheit.
