Most of the world uses metric system, US uses imperial units. Most of the world uses Celcius, US uses Farenheit.
But in video formats, where half of the world uses PAL based standard where frame rates are 25/50, US goes full retard with framerates like 23.976/29.97/59.94.
NTSC is obviously superior though, especially on CRTs for reducing flicker. Fahrenheit is also better for measuring human body temperatures.

PAL CRTs simply have longer glowing phosphors so there's no headache inducing flicker.

Fahrenheit is more granular. It also is made to be highly divisible (96 - 32 = 64, which is divisible by 2 six times. 212 - 32 = 180, which is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, and 15). Celsius' lack of granularity caused the established "average human body temperature" to be off. The only thing that Celsius had going for it is it's arbitrary numbers picked for 0 and 100, but those two numbers are useless in most contexts.

>The only thing that Celsius had going for it is it's arbitrary numbers picked for 0 and 100, but those two numbers are useless in most contexts The same thing can be said about the temperature of saltwater and amonia chloride and whatever Fahrenheit's body temperature happened to be at the time

It's a nice 297 kelvin outside, isn't it?

All the US framerates exist because of engineering issues that were easiest to fix by just slightly slowing down the frame rate. PAL came later and tried to be slightly better than composite, but by that time we had superior methods of signal transmission anyway. youtube.com/watch?v=3JFt6t6ijLs Watch this video if you want to learn a bit instead of just memeing about countries.
Kelvin is stupid as it's just Celcius without the killer feature. I only express temperatures on a scale from 0 being absolute zero and 1 being planck temperature.
Tyler Brooks
Ironically there's literally nothing stopping people from using Kelvin except habits. Farenheit however are retarded for any kind of calculation and they must go.
Cooper Watson
15kHz TVs were designed to run at one frame rate (60 fields a second). In a good TV the phosphors are going to burn as long as they need to avoid flicker. The only place this isn't the case are computer monitors, which are designed to fade quickly for higher refresh rates.
Jordan Kelly
>Kelvin is stupid as it's just Celcius without the killer feature. Kelvin is based on reality. 0k is absolute zero. Celsius is just kelvin with 0 adjusted to freezing. If you want to be accurate you use Kelvin, especially when you start dealing with physical systems that have negative temperatures.

Why not use Rankine then? Must be just as good.

It has to do with the electrical system. Dumb ass!
Where many other countries use 50hz electrical, the US uses 60hz.
Also, Canada uses pounds for fruit, and feet for pool depth.
Because science is already familiar with celsius. If history was different we may have used rankine instead. Old Celsius actually had boiling at 0c and freezing at 100c.

I know frequency of electric has impact on that but why Europe isn't using retarted 24.975 or 49.95 frames per second.
Ayden Nelson
Because NTSC was designed to be backwards-compatible with old black & white CRTs, hence the meme framerate, Yurop just said "fuck it" and made an entire new standard for color TV
PAL works perfectly fine on black and white TV. The color is encoded as a higher frequency, smaller amplitude wave, which is added to the luminescence signal. Old black and white TV's simply ignore the tiny color wave and only see the big luminescence signal.

Wrong question. Why doesn't the rest of the world stop acting out and catch up to the US?
