General Sherman famously burned down Atlanta during the US Civil War.

I'm assuming this is fahrenheit because it's typically americans that do not mention the unit they are using

We expect the rest of the world to understand from context that Atlanta was not 98 degrees C.

No I just automatically assume when someone doesn't mention the tempreture unit online that they're american

I've seen it on lemmy too unfortunately because americans still haven't learned that there is a world outside of their country that doesn't revolve around them, americans with their arrogance and narcissism is one of the many reasons I hate americans
