no
Angel Williams
ok
farenheit makes more sense with weather
Andrew Adams
That's because you grew up with it.
But everyone else uses celsius because it is more relevant to everyday life.
Matthew Taylor
Celsius:
-0 kill me
0 to 15 cold
15 to 25 nice
25 to 35 warm
35 to 45 hot
45+ end me now
Makes perfect sense to me.
Wyatt Sanchez
>0 to 15 cold
More like
>0 to 15 so fucking hot end me
Hudson Price
no listen
its easy to think of things on a scale from 0 to 100, which is usually between the temperature in farenheit that things will be in temperate environments
if celsius usually is between 0 and 45, 45 seems like a somewhat arbitrary number for maximum heat to typically be
celsius does make much more sense with everything else, though, because 0 and 100 are the freezing point and boiling point of water, respectively
tldr farenheit is for humans
Angel Allen
how about we measure it in energy required to boil an egg
Jason Gray
Jeremiah Sanchez
Oh yeah, I forget the northern hemisphere was relevant.
Ryder Scott
I really, really like this image
Jace Flores
But who cares
If the weather says it's 35 outside, you're going to know what it means no matter what.
But you're basically saying it's okay to have two different systems for everyday life? Why not just stick to one? Someone who has lived with celsius all his life is going to know exactly what 10,15,20 means, just like you know what a certain temperature in fahrenheit means.
This is just your bias mang. think about it
Robert Peterson
Thx
Asher Morris
non-americans dont understand farenheit at all then?
Blake Brooks
So it's basically irrelevant in a highly tropical like where I live since it's so humid that trying to guess at an actual temperature is considered stupid.
Xavier Hernandez
No! I have no fucking clue what any fahrenheit measurement means. In fact, the whole empirical system is a mess to me! But to you it's probably clear in your head because you're used to it
But the metric system is better constructed overall, so there is no reason to prefer the imperial over it.
Kayden Lee
I know 72 is okay
Evan Nelson
what temperature is it usually?
i think the imperial system is a mess too, but farenheit isnt part of it
Ethan Ramirez
To me it's kinda just boomer speak
Like pounds
Only thing I've learned is feet and inches for height and pebnid
and stones for Brit-boomers who still don't measure themselves in kg
Luis Ortiz
In winter 25 to 27 in summer 35 to 40. In a place that never experiences cold the fahrenheit doesn't seem relevant.
Robert Bell
wew lad, im glad i dont live in australia
other than that though, in celsius the difference between 35 degrees and 40 degrees is 5 degrees. when converted to fahrenheit, thats a 9 degree difference instead. fahrenheit allows for greater precision without having to use decimals.
Josiah Sanchez
But do you really need that precision? Do you really feel a change of less than 2°F?
Camden Sanders
i dont know if its just me but i can clearly feel the difference between 68 fahrenheit and 70 fahrenheit. i may just be sensitive to changes in temperature though
Xavier Clark
So celsius still does the job. It would be insufficient of you were able to tell between 68 and 69 for instance.
But even then, is it a big difference? Most likely not
Xavier Moore
i guess you got me there then
i would say the precision can be useful for scientific purposes, but i would not be able to handle the banter from that
David Parker
Fahrenheit is a human scale, built around human experience. 100 is hot, low numbers are cold. Zero is very cold.
This celsius 100 is temperature water boils (at certain pressures/elevation) and zero is when water freezes, is impersonal, arbitrary, and not a human scale.
Samuel Flores
But when you're dealing with scientific measurements, using fractions is more than acceptable. You already do it with fahrenheit anyway.
Did you know that the US tried to switch to metric and celsius in the 60s?
The only reason it failed was because people bitched and moaned because they would have to learn a new system.
Connor Anderson
fun fact
when water freezes its cold
and when it boils its hot

america didnt switch to metric primarily because of how expensive it would be, although i assume people complaining would be a secondary cause
Gavin Walker

Colton Morris

because humans often experience freezing and boiling in their bodies.
Jeremiah Carter
>because of how expensive it would be
Not so sure. See, the switch from imperial units to metric, which everybody uses, is very costly to the american economy overall: it is a hue waste of time and efforts, to the point that the initial investment of replacing road signs and the like would easily be outweighed in the fairly short term. This was one of the main points for the change, actually, that this change would make trade easier and faster with other countries.
Jaxson Lopez
humans dont really reach 0 degrees very often so um
yeah
and we dont usually get to 100 either
we actually
ᵃᶰᵈ ᶦ'ᵐ ᶰᵒᵗ ˢᵘʳᵉ ᶦᶠ ʸᵒᵘ ᵏᶰᵒʷ ᵗʰᶦˢ

Andrew White

You can just sat 30.5 degrees celsius. Use decimals I guess.
Bentley Johnson
Why should the freezing point of water be 32 degrees? Why such a fucking arbitrary number? Why not something that makes sense like 0?
Daniel Miller
Huuh
not sure you followed the discussion all the way through there buddy
Joseph Long
Why should the system be built around when water freezes? What is so special about water?
Landon Butler
I'm saying, if people say celsius doesn't have enough precision, use half degrees. 30.5 = thirty and a half degrees celsius.
Hunter Collins
>what is so special about water?
Lincoln Russell
Because it's the very lifeblood of our ecosystem
It doesn't snow above 0.
When it gets to negative numbers, then people understand that there is going to be chilling temperatures, frost, and snow.
Why should it be 32?

0 to 100 makes more sense for a base ten species. 0 to 40 doesn't. All you need to know is that 0 is really fucking cold and that 100 is really fucking hot. Pic related, a better explanation than i can give.
Brandon Carter
Jacob Peterson
Are you aware that
huuh
I can use
the exact same argument

Nathan Gray
If 0 doesn't apply to humans, how does 32?
Aiden Ramirez
It doesn't, that's why Fahrenheit made a colder solution so he could reach a different number for 0.

Noah Nelson
Fair point
Cameron Rogers
Freezing point as the 0 didn't make sense to him because it csn still get colder. So he made an even colder solution for the 0 mark. Should have explained myself better
Adam Wilson
>rock solid logic
>based on arbitrary personal preferences
>based on personal bias
Dylan Wood
That colder solution was salt and ice, yes?
Question: How often do we deal with salt and ice?
Answer: Like, never.
Question: How often do we deal with water freezing?
Answer: Pretty much every day.
Lucas Peterson
Brine is fucking useless for human reference. You don't even know what fuckenheit is based on.
Owen Taylor
The reason he set it lower than freezing for 0 is because often during winter, it goes much below 0. Its not rare for a day to be 30 below the freezing point on the Fahrenheit system. That's why. The whole idea of forcing everyone to use one system over the other because "it makes sense to me" is rather ethnocentric and dumb to argue about anyways.
Tyler Watson
People say america should switch not because "it makes more sense to me", but because it makes more sense in general, as in there is no point to add unnecessary confusion when you're the only one in the world not conforming.
It's not hard to fucking understand, and yet
Levi Thomas
only words should be used for weather:
hot
warm
cold
>hey user whats it like outside
>cold
>ok i'll bring a jacket
done. see how simple that was
Lucas Johnson
But why should he take into account the relatively small areas that get to 30 below freezing on his scale? Why not set it to the majority of the world, where like 70% of the human population lives, where it almost never even reaches freezing?
Zachary Richardson
foomer detected.
Cameron Evans
Weather forecasts (partial topic of this thread) require millions of calculations. You can't just use Cold. You need 2 degrees celsius. You need exact numbers for exact calculations.
Ayden Nelson
Also, cold is subjective. I'm Canadian. When I talk to a Texan, he'll say "Yesterday sure was cold." I'll ask how cold, and he'll reply (in celsius) "Fourteen degrees."
I do not consider this cold. 8 or below is cold.
>tfw it's 4 degrees outside right now
Oliver Wilson
I'm leaving
Asher Reed
Putting an extra 0 is easier, i agree. I'd personally prefer a measurements reform. 10 inches in a foot. 10 feet to a yard, 10 yards to a field, 10 fields to a valley. 10 valleys to a mile. the units of ten will be based on the foot so that daily life isn't as harshly effected. The mile in this system will be 1.894 current miles. This way its easier to do math and Americans won't have to change too much. However that just seems like too much work and at that point the whole system might as well be changed.
He lived in germany man I don't know, maybe it gets below freezing in german winters more common than thought.
