I think it's 38 degrees celsius for Americans too. But I'm not quite sure, could also be 2 ounces, their system is kind of weird.

It’s just over half the temperature of a cooked chicken for us normal Americans.

Really had to do a double take. Like, what the fuck, the ocean is boiling, it can't be that be that bad, right? Then it clicked that you're using that weird Fahrenheit system.

Yes, sorry, it's weird. Celsius is easy - water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 and there we go..

It's not boiling but that is hot tube temperature for reference.

With how mountainous Europe is, no it doesn't. What bothers me (aside from the ongoing, increasingly vivid global extinction event) is the sense that, were the situation flipped, you guys wouldn't miss a beat telling people to look it up instead of assuming every country works like theirs does.

Good news is, we'll both have something else to complain about in a year or two, if we're...still able to do that.
