I’m kidding here, but the similarities are odd. The weather is always between 70F and 85F all year round. The biggest threat to you on the island are apples. You shouldn’t eat the apples that grow on the island; the small green ones are poisonous. Oh, and it isn’t easy to immigrate there. It’s a place where only few people are allowed to reside. Oh, and did I mention the abundant variety of plants and animals on the island?

    If it’s such a paradise it wouldn’t have an absolutely spastic way of measuring the temperature

    For the other 97% of the planet, the yank means 21 to 29 degrees, I had to look it up

      While the conversion is appreciated, there’s no reason to be an ass about it. OP labeled it, so it’s not like it was confusing or making unnecessary assumptions about the audience. So really you’re the one who just comes across as completely culturally insensitive.

        The vast majority, by a fucking huuuuuuge margin, has no fuckin idea how Fahrenheit works

        It’s culturally insensitive and selfish to use it on the World Wide Web

      Because measuring temperature based on human body reflective saline solution’s interaction with temperature change instead of regular water definitely qualifies as “spastic.”

      Then again it looks like you’re one of those euro losers who copes with us making you give up all your colonies post war for rebuilding money by redirecting all those attitudes about “the uncivilized world” onto the developed country that just happens to have a high rate of racial diversity.

      BTW Mr. “American culture is racism”, how are those Roma folks doing?

      What an absurd and intellectually inferior unit of measurement you have elected to use here. For the enlightened among us the philistine means 294 to 302 degrees Kelvin.
