I don’t think anyone knows what a C° is
Most every kid who has taken high school science should know what °C is, though

how is °C written incorrectly twice? it was already correct in the first part of the meme
Meme made by an American kid.
Or Australian. They made it upside-down.
Ɔ°
If they get drunk enough, do they start doing stuff back in the normal, upside-up way?

Cº is the final boss of the C family of programming languages, once you've sharpened your senses to an objective double plus level of holy, minus any rust, you can finally get the degree.
It goes :
C°
C
C++
C++++ (or C# if you're tight for space)
C+ and C+++ were test versions that weren't widely deployed.
This guy got his C degrees.

I mean, Americans know 0C is the freezing temperature of water and 100C is the boiling temperature of water, so even with that most basic information taught in like, First Grade Science, people can understand the meme.
People wearing shorts in the cold vs people wearing jackets in the heat.
You overestimate the public education system in my state; especially when I was in grade school.
(I thought it was 100°F boiling and 0°F was freezing)

Bro.... Brooooooo.... I'm jealous of your faith in the american education system.
I learned it in First Grade and nearly everyone I have talked to did as well, and I am in California which is rated as the #40 best state for public education, which puts me technically near the bottom. So unless someone happens to come from a state that is lower than California (10 states in descending order where last is worst: TN, FL, NC, OK, SC, AL, NM, NV, LA, or AZ), then chances are very tiny that they were not taught that basic fact in grade school, which was then repeatedly used in every science class afterwards.
C degrees?
100 degrees? That's pretty hot out.
Id go as far as saying it would be boiling

I'm gonna be so real, 10° is not that cold.
48 degrees F. Really isn't.
When I lived in Minnesota the shorts came out when we warmed up to even 1C. Yeah I'm American but I've lived a couple of years in Europe and I can math so I know what a C is. I still prefer F. But my wife likes D.
Translation: Alaskans wearing shorts, Texans wearing jackets.
Fahrenheit makes more sense for gauging human comfort. Most people can sense the difference in 1°F. Celsius crams half the degrees between boiling and freezing into one scale.
A difference of 10°F is notable, 10°C is quite notable. 60's is cool, 80's is hot. Now do a 20° difference in C. 16 to 26 doesn't sound like a big difference.
Celsius works better for almost every other useful measurement. Go Kelvin if you must.
It only makes sense to you because you're accustomed to it, not because it's innately better at "gauging human comfort". All of us who grew up using metric know how to gauge comfort with Celsius. None of us bother with decimal fractions of a degree because there isn't a big enough difference between degrees to do so, so your argument about granularity falls apart pretty quick there. You lot don't have trouble with miles despite kilometres being more granular do you?
Montreal Hotels had .5°C indications. I'll stick to °F for human comfort. km/h is the same problem in a way, I need three digits to represent reasonable highway speeds.
If the number 100 takes you appreciably longer to process than 60, you probably aren't qualified to be driving anyway.
It's like talking to an American who keeps asserting they don't have an accent. If they don't get it immediately, they're probably not going to.

x*1.8+32 = how you convert to °Freedom. We know how, we just don't acknowledge your °Communist temperature measurement.
slaps hood Times two plus thirty gets you there when you see the C.
I mean, we know what ice and fire mean. And believe it or not, we know where both Canada and Australia are.
