dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

While I will forever agree that metric is a much better scale than imperial, no one can ever convince me that celsius is better for measuring temperature (with the exception of cooking)

you're just used to the wrong one

Since heat index/wind chill/UTCI exist, maybe someone should take the opportunity to just throw out both Fahrenheit and Celsius as units for comfort since both need to be modified to be actually meaningful anyway.

yeah kelvin divided by ten would be better, or we could invent a less arbitrary way of determining the "size" of a degree and use a different absolute scale

It's German cultural tradition that every village uses their own inscrutable measurement system for everything, so I have to reject both unfortunately.
