  • I once applied for a job at a plasma donation center. They keep their sample freezers at -40°. During the interview process the hiring manager was going over basic info for the job and when they went over the freezer they said “And we keep the freezer at -40°C. I don’t know what it is in F though.” I then explained that they’re the same at -40° and that’s why their job posting doesn’t list the unit. They then acted like I was incredibly stupid and told me that “no, there’s a formula to figure it out. I don’t remember the formula but theyre definitely not the same” I didn’t feel the need to argue the point further so I just dropped it and moved on.

    I never got a call back from them. I’m 90% sure that’s why I didn’t get the job since Before that point they were telling me how they thought I’d be great manager material.

    I still get mad every time I think about it. Jokes on them though. I since learned they were a terrible employer. I got a way better job than that place like a week later.

    You’re assuming these people believe we even send things to space. I had a serious ass conversation recently with my father’s roommate. Typical conspiracy theorist ding dong. Full on flat earther and everything. I asked him how he thinks GPS works if the earth was flat. He admitted he didn’t know but then when I started to explain how it works by pinging satellites we put up in space he cut me off and said space isn’t real. Like legitimately thinks space isn’t real. He on a separate occasion also complained that we didn’t need to wear masks during covid because we apparently make our own viruses in our bodies and viruses don’t spread between people.

    These people don’t even understand how logic works. Let alone that people could be smarter than they are.
