    And if anyone’s wondering that’s 116°F in more normaler units

    Edit: it’s a multi layered joke guys chill. Joke is Americans can’t read, the °F is in the title. The other joke is that American grammar is shit

      Lemmy can be pretty hostile to non-European standards. It’s weird… I wonder if Europeans are just using more accounts than Americans, and stacking votes.

      If not… Then yikes, if Lemmy is losing the American audience, that’s bad news, friends.

        Celsius and Fahrenheit are both European units. It’s just that Fahrenheit is used by less than 5% of the world’s population, so it’s completely reasonable to expect a post title on an international website like this to use Celsius.

          To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is “really fucking cold” and 100 degrees is “really fucking hot.” So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as “yeah that’s way too fucking hot for a phone.”

          This is also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius in general (even though I am an engineer and am not a die-hard patriot or anything like that). It is a more practical scale for everyday usage.

            And Celsius is 0 for freezing water and 100 for boiling water, sounds much more practical to me

            All I know about 100 in Fahrenheit is that the Americans always complain when it gets to it.

        Are you stupid? Lemmy isn’t hostile to the US. We are hostile to idiots who do not recognize standards. That this includes most of the US is just a coincidence.

          Hate to break it to you (and your superiority complex) but Fahrenheit is also a standard.

            No it isn’t, nobody uses it. I can’t sayb"my proprietary unit is a standard that only I use".

            In the US.

            For me a standard that I mean as standard is globaly used by scientists

              Cool, so Celsius is not a standard because it isn’t global.

                As far as I know even US scientists are using Celsius and centimeters.

        Yes, every European has at least 3 lemmy accounts, as required by the European constitution.

        There are a lot more Europeans online than Americans (not to mention a few billion internet users on other continents), so when Americans post temperatures exclusively in Fahrenheit it comes across as kinda thoughtlessly parochial.

          1. I don’t believe this at all lol

          2. The audience for this is English speakers. While much of the world reads English non-natively, those people often turn to news source in their native languages. If this article were in French, using Fahrenheit would be silly.

          3. Most iPhone users are American. This data shows that just a few years ago 43% of iPhones were sold in the US, with Japan in 2nd at 14% and China at 13%. Even adding up the UK, France, Germany, and Australia they combine for 20%, though once again I’d expect French and German articles fod those audiences.

          Europeans just can’t handle the fact that colonization is over lol.

        Lol, second comment this morning I’ve seen someone complaining about their fundamentally incorrect statement is recieving “unfair” hostility…

        No, you’re just wrong and people downvoted you because of it
