American recipes be like “Preheat an oven to 17 1/4 klatpifarbs and broil half a bucket of gasket steak for nine and thrice eggtimers.”

Recipe: Add three ounces

Me: (gets out scale)

Recipe: No, the other ounces

Me: (searches online for how many grams in a fl.oz. of x ingredient.)

Today you should learn: US and UK ounces are different.

bought a piece of wood in Lowes. I needed it cut to 1510mm. Guy didn't know what that was. So I said 4'11" & 29/64ths. He said he didn't know what that was. So I said 4.954068ft. He didn't know what that was so cut it at 5 feet and it was too big when I got it home.

Lowe's will only cut to 16ths and they're still off by 2/16ths.

They haven't been like that since at least the 1970's.

It's like 29c? I think?

LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 2y (5 replies)

No it’s like 21. Not sure who thinks that’s hot. Maybe arctic peoples.

hydroel@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

The joke is for 70°F vs 70°C

LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 2y

Oh I see I’m an idiot.

muix@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Can confirm, 21 is a hot summer here

eleefece@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

That's pretty neat. Our summers are around 45~50°C (125°F)

muix@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 2y

I don't think I would survive that, holy moly

jayemar@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

No, it's only 21C

there's a line missing "physicist if your AC is set to 70" next to a picture of a block of ice.

AD&D players, when their AC is set to 70. Screenshot of bullets that should clearly miss blatantly hit the person

I'm in Singapore and I would probably freeze to death if I set the air con to 21°. Fans only during the day and 25° for the air con at night.

Phrodo_00@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I don't get why. 21c is 21c.
