Americans are out here needing 100 degrees of magnitude between “it’s really cold outside” and “it’s really hot outside” while ignoring the scientific uses of anything outside of those values and you expect them to understand decimals?
How many “it’s really hot outside” until iron melts, or water boils, or meat cooks? Fuck knows. But I’ll be damned if I use punctuation in my maths, this country was founded on addition and subtraction and that’s all the founding fathers ever needed, now gtfo with your letters and periods and symbols in my mathematics.
How many “it’s really hot outside” until iron melts, or water boils, or meat cooks?
Who cares, we don’t need to know that at all in daily life.
But I’ll be damned if I use punctuation in my math
If we don’t need to why would we? Base-10 isn’t a virtue for a temperature measuring system mainly used to tell how it feels for a human to exist in the world
