Yes I did. Was it really difficult? I just edited the title to include both. I did some quick searches and was surprised to learn that the percentage of people outside the US is more than half across all Lemmy instances.
It did occur to me that perhaps the site itself had localised it. That would be odd for a science site given that science is usually done in metric, but as the New Scientist is pop sci they might have thought it would help grow US readership.

Assuming this is referring to my comment about making life difficult, you had to either do the maths or use a conversion tool. You made it (now fixed, thanks) so that half (I expected a higher %age tbh) of the people reading it had to do that.
As the one distributing info in a one-to-many relationship, it is more efficient for you to post the conversion than to ask for everyone else to do it. It is equally difficult for you or one reader, but you have many readers.

Why is that surprising? Lemmy has a strong anti-American sentiment.
Second only to Israel.
You seem to be pretending that the headline has always been F/C, and not exclusively F at one point before you edited it.
