It's also annoying when Europeans swap the comma and decimal on currency amounts too, especially given that you don't do that when writing sentences. Few things more infuriating than seeing an amount written out like 2.999,95€! Where are your manners!?
I see, that's understandable. We all have pet-peeves. Mine is the date format in the US that has spread month-day-year. Most of Europe is day-month-year and it's very confusing when people start adopting US formats because they watch so much stuff from the US.
IMO any date standard other than ISO 8601 is wrong too. Year-Month-Date makes the most sense from a chronological standpoint. Also makes sorting files by date easier.
The set of communication protocols to enable internetworking on the Internet arose from research and development commissioned in the 1970s by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense in collaboration with universities and researchers across the United States, United Kingdom and France.[4][5][6]
Where I live we...just use comma. So 2999,95. No reason to add useless separators in the middle, and if we do for clarity sake, we use space (2 999,95).
We use, if needed, apostrophes or upticks. 2'999,95. No danger of messing up between . and , that way.
Also let's just wait until that person learns that not every country separates into blocks of 3 and how many options of mixing and matching there are in use.
Wish everyone just followed the ISO norm. It dictates that you can either use a period or a comma as decimal separator. And for the thousands separator, just use a space.
Well like I said to the other person, it's not a "I think the US is superior" thing; very much the opposite. I simply have autism. (ADHD too but that's not relevant here.)
One of my favorite things about Lemmy is how many of us are in the autism/ADHD neurotribe, or at least have an understanding about it. We can read your response and be like, "Oh, okay. Yeah, I get where you're coming from" and roll along, without the need for senseless hostility.
Just another day, another misinterpretation - we've all been there. Carry on.
"It's so infuriating when people communicate in ways I'm not used to!"
Doesn't sound great.
According to ISO 80000-1, the decimal separator can either be a period or a comma, and no preference is given to either. Many American software systems support both (including the software I work on). It's really quite normal and mundane.
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'll give you my 2¢ on this: I like the dollar sign before the number. When I say "3 dollars" I see it as "$3" not "3$" and I don't see it as "dollars 3" unless I'm telling a riddle.
Just like with American date structure: I'll say July 26, 2026 and will see it as 07/26/2026.
(But when I put a date in files I go for YYYY/MM/DD format)
(Whoever created these systems had a funny sense of synergy lol)
Technically, I think that C° is used to express differences or ranges of temperatures. For instance the difference between 15 °C and 20 °C is 5 C°. Or you could say something like, "5 C° more is all it takes for me to start wearing shorts".
I feel like that would have come up at some point during my two years of thermodynamics classes where we were constantly using ∆T. just did a search for "C°" in quotes, and for delta T; first one returned nothing, second showed a bunch of sources where the units of ∆T were °C. any idea where you might have heard this?
I'm old. Google tells me that "Celcius degrees" used to be used for differences or ranges, but modern standards just use "degrees celcius" for everything. My experience would come from thermodynamics classes in the 1980's.
I've always seen Kelvin used to describe differences in temperature, since Kelvin has a real zero point and the steps are the same as Celsius. Or people just use °C because they don't know or care that it's technically wrong.
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
Same, but when it's 30c+ outside there's a huge difference between us going out wearing long sleeved linen shirts and light trousers, and the handful of people I always end up seeing (at least!) wearing puffer jackets and wooly hats.
Anything over 28C is currently classified as a heatwave, but I think they're going to have to revisit that, or just say "all summer is a heatwave try not to die" given 32-35C has been consistently hit pretty much every summer this decade.
yeah it's not bad globally, but it is pretty bad for london, the infrastructure isn't prepared for it
esp because it's pretty humid as well, sweating doesn't do much
Yeah, the humidity also doesn't compare. The US is, as with most things especially lately, way worse.
None of this means the UK has it easy, don't misunderstand. It means the people stuck in the US are in a crazy land of stupid things which includes the weather. But at least there aren't Australian murder fauna I guess.
62% humidity outside right now, 99° F "real feel", 92° F "real feel shade". 88° F actual temp.
I think what folks from not humid places don't realize is how hot the shade is. Shade is always better than sun, obviously, but it sort of only takes the feeling of the sun against your skin. The air is still hot. I'd compare it to a sauna sort of. Like it's still stuffy.
The first time my wife went to somewhere that actually has dry heat she said it was amazing. She was actually cold in the shade. Not just cool. That concept is so foreign to me.
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.
That entirely depends on where you live and what temperatures you're used too. I live in a hot part of Australia and absolutely wouldn't wear shorts in 10c because my body is acclimated to hotter weather.
Or just a kid who had mandatory science classes at any point in your life. Or work in the food service industry. Or have an aquarium. Or enjoy baking. Or watch international sports. Or travel, ever.
I don't really get the hate for fahrenheit. It's a nice 0 to 100 scale for everyday weather temperatures. But also every 10 degrees is different enough that you don't even need to be precise when talking about it: "We'll probably need the AC today, it's going to be in the 80s".
I'm an American that's all for converting to metric but I would still use fahrenheit for weather since it's just so easy and convenient.
I understand because of a useful mnemonic I learned a few years ago. 30 is hot. 20 is nice. 10 is cold. 0 is ice. 30 is still pretty nice for most US citizens since we're not Canadian.
Ah, you see it’s easy! 10°C is 70°F in Canada and 30°C is 35°F in Australia. Fahrenheit is based upon comfortable temperature and since that differs by person and population the amount differs too!
Celsius is just boring old math though. Kind of like metric measurements. Everything devisable by 1000? Pffft, boooring! Give me my 600 feet to the mile and 8-1/2 football fields to league like a truely patriotic measuring system! Did I mention I actually prefer needing a lookup table to figure out unit conversions.
Wait. So is it a flex to wear shorts at 10? Is a jacket at 30? I'm so confused. That's like the mildest of temps. How about when we do yard work when it's 37.5c? Or go kayaking in 7c because like all those things happened are normal here. I was building a fire pit area today and it was 100° and earlier in the year I was on the lake kayaking when it was 45°.

Of course I do, it stands for Percentage of Commie.
These poor folks don't even know in a free country you can wear jackets and shorts any time you like.

I suppose posting this meme with F instead of C would confuse more of the world than this one will. When trolling its all about numbers people.

Wait. So is it a flex to wear shorts at 10? Is a jacket at 30? I'm so confused. That's like the mildest of temps. How about when we do yard work when it's 37.5c? Or go kayaking in 7c because like all those things happened are normal here. I was building a fire pit area today and it was 100° and earlier in the year I was on the lake kayaking when it was 45°.
