Ah, Game Of Thrones always taught us to not trust the North. Rings true in real life as well!

I like Celsius just because you know anything negative is cold XD
honestly as a "scientist" I prefer Kelvin because 0 is 0.
I was taught a quick basic conversion for C to F, double and add 30. you get close enough for most things.

Anything below 0 may be cold, but y'all look at 20 and think "warm"? Really? How often do you need to know the boiling point of water in every day Life? Freaking never. And i get using celcius for science, but it just does not help for your average joe. and as you point out, it's much better to use Kelvin then anyway!

And your map is incorrect Vacant my friend, because there are still countries in Africa and Asia that use imperial. And don't sit up on that British high horse either! I know you people can't commit to either system of measurements! You just opted for a bastard child of the two!

And while we're there, y'all measure weight in increments of 14 pounds! That makes so much less sense than anything we use in America! At least base 12 is a thing! (And arguably better than base 10, if we could commit to it)

So, I may of gotten the two best books of all time at the used book store today.



A philosophy book about...Spider-Man written by like college profs and...the Finnish translation of the Jehovah's Witness Bible, complete with colour photos. Not much more needs to be said I think.

It was fun and worth practicing the “I can see the souls in people” idea.

I’m averaging 70%  correct.

I break out into hives now when I notice the smears of the 'computer' images. Damn I hate that kind of janky stuff.
 

By the by, why can't I read books anymore? I used to devour them but now I can't even finish a simple novel. Help.

You got to steer away from "bite sized" content for a while. Our brains adjust to the length of content we consume, so when you're doing nothing but looking at memes (or whatever), your brain starts saying "yeah! More small stuff!"

So yeah, get off Twitter for a while, spend your time taking on longer stuff.
