Freedom degrees. Roughly -13° or 38° if you live in the sane parts of the world.

I’d pick triple digits, mostly because I’ve lived in places that routinely hit 100° in the summer, and I hate shoveling snow.

Imagine you are one if the only countries that use Fahrenheit and just assume that everyone knows what you are talking about when you say degrees without a unit is the essence of american personality

Does nobody actually read the actual post any more before commenting?

Your original post doesn't say Fahrenheit anywhere though. I mean, I'm a USian so I knew what you meant by "freedom degrees" but I don't think it's fair to act like everyone in the world who might see this post would know that phrase means Fahrenheit.

I mean… I guess? I just figured any English speaker, when presented with “freedom degrees” versus “sane parts of the world” would get it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
