Record breaking June temperatures have been deadly in Europe as the mercury soared past 40 degrees in several locations. The heat was hard to handle in Paris, London and Berlin, but our expert says we need to get used to it. But, how fast can we adapt to a scorching new-normal?

      Sorry bro, taking 21 and multiplying by 9 then dividing by five then adding 32, or vice versa, is not going to happen everytime. I am sorry I use imperial standards, but that is where we are at, We won’t change, we (not me) think we are special. Nevertheless the metric system I only see as partially better. Stupid logic.

        There’s so much to unpack from your comment. I can’t decide my favorite: that you posted in a European community and misunderstood the temperatures you read as Fahrenheit, or that you doubled down and said America isn’t going to change their measurement system—somehow justifying misreading the temperatures in a community that is the standard.

          Feel free to write an open letter to America pal, I’m sure we will be excited to hear the ramblings of some partisan that has nothing better to contribute to social media than attacking people for stuff they have no control over!

        yknow you can just swap to c pretty easily on any site or app that tells you the temperature, right?

        this is big “tell me you have no friends in Europe without telling me” energy

          Why the fuck would I have friends in europe? I am in North America, and I will never leave this hemisphere. If anything I would visit South America, not your soon to be equally fucked corporate hellscape. You guys think you are better, but you are falling.

          You guys are a joke, as if you weren’t on the cusp of being seized by fascists, just as dumb as US voters. Even dumber perhaps on balance. Wait for it…
