Nissan Motor Co. said it has developed a new type of paint that significantly reduces the temperature inside vehicles parked in direct sunlight.

The surface of a car coated with the innovative material remains up to 12 degrees cooler than that of a vehicle with standard paint, tests showed.

The company said the coating material can help rein in the temperature rise not only on the car's body but also in the vehicle when exposed to direct sunlight.

Fair, my bad! Sorry if it was offensive.

I just got a little sick of all the Fahrenheit (and also Imperial) domination around here. This, in turn, is often left without clarification, despite the system being way less popular.

Lemmy as a platform is extremely America-centric, despite having tons of folks from everywhere else, which is aggravating in the long run. World really, really doesn't all revolve around land of the free.

    Being from Russia, I'm fine with people using the units they are more confident with or used to.

    (Not specifying units may be a bit confusing, but then people here don't say\write "it's 20 degrees Celsius" either.)

    Russian-languaged media is not commonly consumed by someone living under imperial/Fahrenheit system, so it's only natural.

    For English, it might make sense to at least always add Celsius in parentheses, unless it's highly regional news.

    Also, привет российским леммиводам :D
