Re: Funny continuity/immersion errors in fanfic/writing

I am so easily annoyed by anachronisms it's not even funny.
But my favorite example would be forever: "He decided to take a warm shower and set it to 25°". I was like: "wait, 25 (Celsius) is quite cold for a shower" —> "wait, this fic is happening in USA, they would use Fahrenheit" -> "IS IT SNOW SHOWER?!". My friend and I still call snowing weather "25° showers"

That one is really hilarious.

The downside to being focused as I read fanfiction on trying to figure out what the author was trying to tell me, even though English may not be their first language and they're obviously writing about stuff they've made up (sometimes more believably than others), is that I just forget most of these minor gems of momentary confusion after I get what they must have meant.

AYRT
Yeah, I forget almost immediately too. I either power through and forget or drop the story.
This one I remember mostly because 1) it's hilarious 2) I went to my friend to ask if 25 is cold for a shower 3) I had long discourse on twitter if we should write about USA realities in Fahrenheit (miles etc) or Celsius since we use Celsius (the results were mixed)

Okay that's really funny, but also, are there people out there setting their showers to specific temps? Am I living in the past just combining the hot and cold until its feels right?

I've seen some showers with temperatures marked on the dial but that's definitely not a common thing.

I think author was going for "fancy" feeling - character was a rich man. But ended being our local meme.
