Students were to imagine that an animal had been newly discovered, which the teacher described in detail. Then they were asked to draw what they heard.

This is a hilarious mistranslation actually. I suspect it originally said something along the lines of âImpregnerad mot vattenâ, i.e. âWater proofâ.
Impregnering is the process of making a material resistant to water/heat. The swedish word for water (vatten) is similar to the word for goblin (vätten) so I guess there was a mixup.
absolutely obsessed with the way Fahrenheit is legitimately a superior temperature measurements for day to day life than celsius (more precise, accessible, and understandable) but ppl refuse to admit to it bc theyâre so caught up with the âsilly americans refuse to convert to metricâ gag
fun little info graph I found
[id: three identical number lines with 0 at one and and 100 at the other, labelled âFahrenheitâ âCelsiusâ and âKelvinâ. The ends are labelled, respectively:
Fahrenheit: Really cold outside - Really hot outside Celsius: Fairly cold outside - Dead Kelvin: Dead - Dead]
OP, itâs only more useful for Americans because youâre not regularly boiling water.
0° Celsius gets you ice. 100° Celsius gets you tea.
Itâs a very simple system.
Genuinely fascinated by this world in which Americans donât boil water on a regular basis and a thermometer is necessary to know whether water is frozen or boiling.
