    US here. I wish we'd switch to metric. It makes so much sense.

    The degree of variability describing temps in Celsius makes me cringe.

    If we had to stick with imperial to avoid your goofy temps, I'd have a tough decision to make.

    I love Celsius for scientific means.

    I love Fahrenheit for outdoor temps at a glance. Below 0 and above 100 are the areas where you could die from being outside too long unprepared.

    In Celsius it's ... below -17 and above 37... wat

    I don’t know what you mean by that.

    They mean it's not as precise or relatable as farenheit for talking about the weather. Like in farenheit 0 is cold and 100 is hot. Also more precise from one degree to the next. I just assumed that's what they mean from reading this topic many times before, but I don't agree with it, I can kind of understand, but the relatable part is just based on what you're used to, and the precision is moot, you can go after the decimal point in Celsius if you need further precision, which you really don't when talking about the weather anyway.

    "When it's 80..."

    "Good lord! It's eighty degrees outside! Twenty degrees more and water is boiling! and you're messing with your pant legs, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

    After thousands of steps I'd like to have removable legs. To put them into the freezer until tomorrow and wake up to them ready for another round of abuse.

    I've wanted to invent modular clothing where a lot of the pieces are interchangeable so you just zip off the legs and zip them to your shirt on case your arms are cold but your legs aren't.

    Okay so I was going to post a link to a Lego set as a joke but I can't remember the name of the theme. It was this set where these aliens could shape shift by swapping their arms and legs with other aliens. The joke being that arms and legs were interchangeable.

    Key point to remember for men like me -

    This only applies to men who are at least somewhat attractive.

    If we go out there and do that, we'll be arrested

    Wait, are zip-off pant legs not high fashion?

    I have 2 pairs of those pants, but they are my fishing pants. That means I wear them while chopping a path to a fishing spot. Then I zip the legs off and go for a swim when it gets too hot to fish. They are also made from a material that dries really fast.

    But they are purely utilitarian. My partner thinks I look like a dork in them. But they aren’t there when I zip the legs off and get all sexy alone in the woods. Lol.
