True, we should be using a temperature scale that was defined on how cold it was in Gdańsk, Poland in the winter of 1708, something the average man is more familiar with than water temperature, right?
Not arguing for either unit here - use what you’re comfortable with and don’t be smug about it - but Americans are ~4-5% of the world and even if not all Americans use Fahrenheit, people in other countries (e.g. mine) still do.
Pretty sure what you did here was a logical fallacy. Idk which one bc my smol brain cant comprehend them. In music yoh dont need a best. Eith units on the other hand it makes things a lot easier if they are universal.
When it’s “freezing cold” or “ice cold” outside, what do you think is freezing? When something is “boiling hot”, what is boiling exactly?
We use water to describe temperature even without using Celsius, because it’s everywhere around us, and we are literally made of this stuff. It’s also one of the only materials that goes through three different states in our usual temperature range, so using those as a reference point to measure temperature makes perfect sense imo.
We used water to decide a lot of measurements. 1ml of water is = 1 gram. A gram of water is also equal to 1 cm^3. It’s a beautiful system in that way. Water surrounds us and gives us life, it has chemically interesting properties that make this planet function. Why shouldn’t we just base everything off of this one substance?
Maybe ecause everyone uses it? Just so you know nobody even knows how fahrenhiet was defined first, everyone in the scientific community uses kelvin which is celsius but shifted so absolute zero is zero on it and the us actually uses si they just convert it to imperial so conversion between them is easier. There is point to imperial units other than its hard to switch between systems.
the Celsius nerds are mad at you, I guess. I love it when you see someone make a good point and the downvotes just pile on.
never change, reddit.
edit: they’re here! lol. hey guys! have fun with your storming the castle to defeat the evil Fahrenheit! make sure to prepare your spells, you don’t wanna get caught out when the negative values come out. 💕
That attitude requires an effort better employed to cultivate your mind somewhat. Maybe with time you’ll learn to use the inside of your head instead of only carrying your hair around.
Thanks! Same to you! I hope you figure out how to use your “hair carrier” effectively and be a little less serious about something as simple as the way someone records the temperature.
It is so funny seeing Americans thinking that only nerds uses celsius, because they can’t fathom it themselves. It is like when you call 24 hour time “military time”, even though the majority of Earths civilian population uses it.
Because aligning to the temperature at which water boils is the objectively correct choice?
“Hey, how hot is it going to be today?”
“Well water is about 1/3rd the way to boiling, so about 30 degrees”

The fact that 99.5% of the global population uses it makes it the objectively correct choice.
The remaining .5% can keep bashing their heads against a wall if they like though

Sure, except in America agencies such as NASA and the Weather Service use metric because it’s the proper measurement to use.
Most people like pop music. Does that make it the best?

Should be something like False Analogy.

Not using metric is so much more fun:
Makes your maths so much more exciting!!

You can get used to any scale

You mean most of the world? Defending a backwards options never looks like a rational choice.
Ooooooh I’m on defense? awesome! Do I have time to prepare units to line my front?
is this going to be a timed battle? what are the prizes for winning?
do I get a free Celsius thermometer if I win? that’d be swell!

Wishing you the best of luck!
Being “a little less serious” about everything and demanding everyone to act the same is the mark of the willingly mentally inept.
Do you miss bullying the nerds?
you think I wasn’t a nerd? you’re so sweet! these comments are so nice!
have a happy day. ☺️
You’re getting what you deserve, nothing more.

totally. Thanks!
Check which temperature scale the device you posted your garbage reply with uses for its sensors.
oh no need. I have my display set to Fahrenheit. I’m all good thanks!
