Celsius temperatures on bank marquees
What’s the point?
You drive by the bank, wondering what the temperature is and there it is – 10 degrees Celsius – wow, that’s so frickin good to know.
I don’t live in Europe or any of the other stupid places that I need to know what the temp is in Celsius. What next, you’re going to tell me my weight in Kilos?
If someone wants to argue having Celsius on a thermometer or something, that’s fine. You could use it in science class or sell them to people who don’t know any better, but on a public marquee?!?!?!
There is absolutely no reason for this.
Period.

It’s all about converting us to using Celsius. We should just forget about Fahrenheit all together and use only Celsius. You can always practice your math converting it in your head.

Dude, we need to convert to Celsius as well as the metric system. Our system of measurement is so messed up in this country, and basically makes no sense at all.
1000mm, 100 cm, 10 dec, 1 m
1 inch, 12 inches= 1 foot, 3 feet equals one yard???
It just doesn’t make sense! Don’t even get me started on cups, quarts, and ounces. That is even more jacked up. Plain and simple, Americans are retarded.

what are the metric equivalents to cups and quarts?

You idiot.
small scale: 1 cc versus .061 Cubic Inches
medium scale: 1 liter versus 1.057 Quarts
large scale: 1 liter versus .264 Gallons
All of which flows with the same guideline of every other unit of measure: milliliter, centiliter, deciliter, liter, decaliter, hectoliter, kiloliter
