Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

"The Weather" has never come close to 100C. "The Weather" is rarely below -17C and rarely above 37C: 0F to 100F

"The weather" makes far more sense in F than C.

Cooking makes sense in Celsius. We are regularly concerned about freezing and boiling when we are cooking.

Tell me you've lived in very narrow portions of the world.

While obviously I've never hit 100°C in weather, I have hit 50.

In both directions from 0.

Wow. That's hot. And cold. I am suitably impressed that you've experienced temperatures that most people will never see.

The 50 came from a heat wave here in Wuhan. (It routinely goes to 45 here, so 50 is a hot day surrounded by pavement in the sun.)

The -50 came from living in the high arctic. One day only, ever. But -40 was pretty normal.
