As a Canadian, I had no idea that one of my best friends growing up was American (her parents were imported by a nearby university) until one day I asked if she knew what time it was and she said, "Quarter of four." It stopped me in my tracks because I didn't get the joke. Cautiously I tried, "You mean, it's only one o'clock?" And we just stood there for a while, mutually perplexed. Good times. 😁

as an Australian, the metric system stuff is also very funny to me 😂

[@IceMetalPunk]

When I was at university, I did a work-study program helping out in the sports medicine room on campus. One day, a few sportsball players (probably football, but I don't remember) came in and were talking about how much weight they lifted at the gym. One of them was English, and he said, "I lifted [some number of] KGs". The other guy looks at him for a second, then goes, "You're in America now, we don't do KGs, we do LBs."

@@IceMetalPunk In terms of weather (because that’s all I use it for minus cooking) one can think of it as a percentage of how hot it is. If it’s 0 degrees Fahrenheit then imagine that as 0% hot. If it’s 100 degrees Fahrenheit think of it as 100% hot. Seems pretty simple to me

6:41 Actually at the same unit of measurement, it is colder on the Celsius scale than it is on the Fahrenheit scale. At least in the case that she was cooking, other than that "-40 degrees" is the same temperature both on F and C. For anything below -40 degrees C is warmer then F. So it should have been not burnt but undercooked.

[@daniellysohirka5079]

Your wrong, because 400 F equals around 204.4 C, Then 400 C is equal to 752 F. But it does get colder in F after the -40 mark, but gets warmer up from there. Each Celcius is (1.8F) either way from -40.

One of the writers for HIMYM was Canadian. Probably where must of these came from. There's a great movie called "Being Canadian" that he made, and talked about some of his time on the series. Great stuff... I enjoyed [almost] every joke. As a Canadian who's spent most of my life in the U.S., I suppose I'm "politely impatient." I'm still a citizen, so my running joke is that I'm a politician's wet dream: I pay taxes, but I can't vote! However, I do have 3 anchor babies via my U.S. wife.

[@webspec]

Nerd here: The joke at 6:41 only works the other way around (if you think the oven is F but its graded in celcius). If she thought the oven was in celcius, regular cooking temps in celcius would be 80-240. None of these settings in an F graded oven would burn the food. It would just be undercooked. My guess to keep the comedy realistic is that she just messed it up and had to put that as an excuse assuming nobody would find out. If I were there I would have immediately called her out for the fun so she admits guilt but I wasn't. So to my fellow americans, think twice before turning a foreign oven to 425. (Although you should be safe, no oven has this temp in celcius anyway). The only thing at risk would be lower temp cooking stuff such as bread and cakes. Like if they bake at around 200F, 200 C would just kill 'em XD.
