Is this Celsius or Fahrenheit? In Brazil it's late spring now, since it is on the southern hemisphere.

[–] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 42 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

140 freedom units.

The comments under this post are a great indicator of how much U.S. defaultism has ruined online conversations. Fucking Fahrenheit weirdos.

Don't forget op doesn't know it's summer in the southern hemisphere, and my english sucks, lol.

[–] quaver@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

I think it's more indicative of how absurd 60° celsius is that it seems like it must be Fahrenheit.

Lmao we wield immense power with our weird measurements I guess. This makes me want to use them more.

me happy about the cold winter, happy earth can cool down for a moment

Am I missing something here or is OP not aware that winter isn't everywhere at the same time, and that tropical regions don't follow these "classical" (for lack of a better term) seasons at all?

Obviously climate change is bad and all that, but the upper caption makes no sense.

Memes aren't anytime exactly from the op opinion. Sometimes its just something you catch from people talking stuff.

In this case it was my “I'm really fun at parties"-comment that it is so hot in brazil right now.

[–] Tvkan@feddit.de 34 points 11 months ago

TL;DR: OP didn't know that winter isn't everywhere at the same time.

We don't use freedom units in Brazil

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

fuuuuuuuuuuck

The heat index — a combination of temperature and humidity — hit 58.5 degrees Celsius (137 Fahrenheit) Tuesday morning in Rio, the highest index ever recorded there. Actual temperatures dropped slightly on Wednesday, but were forecast to rise again to 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) on Thursday.

Yeah, that's Celsius.

Brazil is so tall it has like 6 different climatic regions. 5 of them are currently a burning oven and the other one is drowning in constant rainstorms and cyclones.

[–] yum@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Either way I'm gonna be wet all the time, be it rain or sweat.

[–] minstrel@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 11 months ago

thats what she said last night

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

C'mon, guys, it's not that ba-

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

And I thought dark-red is the hottest color.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I blame Ryan Gosling.

Also, it would be late spring in Brazil right now, since it is in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I blame Ryan Gosling.

Username checks out.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

That's because it's my name, silly!

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

Those seasons make little sense here, to be fair. In the midwest, winter is hot and dry, summer is hot and rainy. Autumn and Spring are just inbetweens.

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 4 points 11 months ago

Cold winter? We used to get blizzards in October here, now we barely get any snow at all throughout the entirety of winter, and it's frequently warm enough to be comfortable outside in nothing but a shirt and shorts.

I swear every single year people forget how actually mild winter has become. It got down to -50F here once years ago thanks to the polar vortex and ever since most everyone starts on how "it's gonna be a really cold winter this year" everytime it drops to the fucking 40-50F range. When you point out they said the same thing last year and it was even milder than when they said it 2 years ago, they often just double down being willfully ignorant and insist last winter was "soooo bad" despite it being warmer on average than Fall was 15 years ago.

[–] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Why would you be hoping for a cold winter in brazil right now? We're nearing summer.

[–] lemmiter@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I was a bit confused before checking the comments and thought that the meme is saying that 60° F is considered too cold for Brazil. I didn't even consider 60° C as a possibility.
