alt textComic strip of a ghost and a person with the American flag pasted on the head. The ghost repeats "Boo!" in the first three panels without getting any reaction, but when it in the fourth panel says "kg, cm, km, °C" the American gets scared and screams "AHHHH!!!".

Europeans acting smug like knowing how close to boiling the temperature is is more important than knowing how close to 100% hot out the temperature is.

100% hot out

what does that even mean?

If it's 0 F, it's 0% hot out. If it's 50 F, it's 50% hot out, if it's 100F, it's 100% hot out.

It's a more human measurement. Who the hell knows how long a kilometer or meter is? Everyone knows what a football field looks like and a yard is 1/100th of it.

Everyone outside of America.

Everyone knows what a football field looks like

You're either trolling or a living embodiment of the 'Americans think the USA is the whole world' meme. Nobody outside of the USA knows how long a football field is.
