Yes, it does, actually, if you understand how thermal energy works.

“In summation, if people get to complain about how other phone sucks I get to complain about how people complain about other phone sucking is bothersome to me.”

You know, you’re actually absolutely right. Keep up the good work!

So do you whip out this copypasta anytime people try to have a fun discussion about something or?

I understand. Tbh, I usually try to stay out of arguments too, but the fahrenheit debate is pretty low-stakes and kinda fun sometimes so I figured I’d jump in.

My dude, my entire claim is “both systems of measurement have their applications” And you objected to that. You are here right now arguing the contrary. You chose to voice an opposing opinion.

Do you even know what your point is? Are you seriously so unfulfilled that you’re here just arguing for the sake of arguing?

Look, I’ve made my point, I’ve provided arguments to support it. I’m not gonna keep arguing with some edgelord. Good luck with whatever.

Of course the last bastion of the failed debate, a poor attempt to dismiss the oppositions’ arguments as logical fallacies. The only problem is you clearly have no idea what either of those logical fallacies are. Didn’t even mention reductio ad absurdum.

It’s ridiculous that you’re actually here arguing that there’s absolutely no place in modern science for the fahrenheit system of measurement. What a backwards, preposterous stance to take. Your small-mindedness will not serve you.

That’s simply not how scales work. You’ll figure it out someday.

Okay yeah you’re totally right Celsius is the most perfectest and wonderful system of temperature measurement and it can do everything and it’s magical and perfect for every single application ever.

Sure, bud.

Also “repeatable physical measurements” I think I found your problem. You seem to think that a fahrenheit thermometer will display a different temperature each time something is measured, even if the temperature has not changed. Allow me to clarify for you: if you measure something at a constant temperature more than once with a fahrenheit thermometer, the thermometer will display the same value each time, just like Celsius. I can see how that misconception could’ve led to your confusion, I’m glad I could help you to understand better. Let me know if you need anything else explained to you.

Tell that to the gulf coast, or Mexico, or central America, or Africa, or Australia.

Your experiences are not universal. Just because you’ve never seen 100F doesn’t mean no one else has. That’s absurd.

“Americans” ah, I see. You don’t actually care about effective systems of measurement, you just want to shit on people that are different from you.

Also, as answered in another post: Why would you assume that humans, an endothermic species, prefers exactly 50% thermal energy? Of course we sit around the 70F region, we’re warm-blooded mammals. We don’t want to be half cold, we want to be mostly warm.

No matter how much you complain or argue, it’s never going to be true that Celsius is the one-and-only most perfect system of temperature measurement. The fact is that both systems have their applications, as any intelligent member of the scientific community would tell you.

Get over it.

You’re correct. In a lab setting, 0C and 100C are not arbitrary.

In the weather forecast, they are.

Which ties into your final point, it’s hard to define a scale that is best for everything, which is exactly what I’ve been saying this whole time. Fahrenheit is better for some things, Celsius for others.

The only reason people in this thread are saying otherwise is because for some reason they’ve tied up some significant part of their self-worth into their belief that “lmao DAE fahrenheit bad amirite??1?”, and they mistakenly believe that those of us that understand nuance are trying to belittle or disparage them in some way. I assure you, we are not.

What makes you think humans, an endothermic species, desires exactly 50% thermal energy? We enjoy the 70F region because we are warm blooded mammals.

“In International Sauna Championships the sauna was heated to 110°C” Yeah. And 2 people collapsed, 1 died from it. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-10912578 A 5-time champion who had excellent tolerance.

“Exactly. Because that is required to understand what the numbers mean (in celsius)”
Exactly, because fahrenheit doesn’t require such a random set of arbitrary associations. Congratulations for understanding what I said while trying so hard to miss the point.

Look, you can argue all you want. The fact is that both systems have their applications. I don’t believe you genuinely disagree with this statement. I think you’re just here because you want to sling shit at people that are different than you. Nothing you say will make Celsius better at determining ambient temperature, nothing you say will make fahrenheit better for use in a lab. Get over it.

“Can be” Yeah if you’re submerged in 50F water you will succumb to hypothermia due to the specific heat of water.

But we’re not discussing swimming pool temperatures, we’re discussing air temperatures. You are not actively in danger of imminent hypothermia at 50F air temp like you are at 0F air temp.

But of course you know that already. You’re not here arguing in good faith, you just want to sling shit at people that have a better understanding of the world than you. If you want to use Celsius for everything, go ahead. No one cares. But the intelligent world will keep using both.

Lmao and there it is.

“You americans”

It was never about temperature. You just love any excuse to shit on people that are different.

God forbid a country teach the value of both systems. Your tiny mind evidently cannot comprehend the very idea of 2+ methods of measurement.

And yes, no matter how much you screech to the contrary, there is a maximum safe temperature a human can exist in, and it’s roughly 100F. Yes that varies based on an individuals tolerances, which is why I’ve specified on many occasions that it’s representative of the average climate in a temperate region. If you were capable of reading, you’d know that.

Lmao your sauna is not clearing 100C, that’s well past the point at which saunas can become hazardous to your health. If you genuinely run your sauna that hot then start looking into competitions because you’re gonna blow all those professionals out of the water.

Also I’m not making any assumptions here. That’s just you trying to grasp at straws to save your failing argument. You don’t know what 37C feels like? Weird, I know what 100F feels like. I guess fahrenheit is just more intuitive than Celsius (by your logic, anyway).

Also, all you’ve done is list a bunch of understandings about Celsius that depend entirely on experience and prior knowledge. “Above 0 is like this, below is like that, I know how to dress for 0-30” This is all stuff you had to be taught/learn, the exact opposite of intuitive.

But I can say to someone unfamiliar with either system “Fahrenheit is a 0-100 scale of hot how it is outside” and they know almost everything they need to know about fahrenheit.

But it requires you to be familiar with an arbitrary -20 - 40 scale. Which makes way less sense than a 0-100 scale.

I don’t need to use the mnemonic either, I grew up in the U.S. so I understand both systems perfectly well. But the mnemonic exists because Celsius uses an inherently less sensible scale. You only understand it internally because you grew up with it. A person who grew up with neither system would find fahrenheit easier to understand from an unbiased position because it’s more logical.

“It has only been 100F once in the last century”

Lmao what?? Go ahead and find me a source for that.

I guarantee you it reaches 100F regularly during summer in many temperate climates, that’s not even including warmer regions.

Do you think your little small town is the only place in the universe?

That’s why I used the qualifier “really” and in another comment I mentioned “in average temperate climates” If you were more familiar with statistics you would understand how means and outliers work. Just like someone can score a movie an 11/10 or a -1/10, it is possible for the weather to exceed 100F or drop below 0F. Just not typical.

And while I didn’t say it specifically, 0F is similarly the average lowest temperature a person can tolerate/expect before beginning to experience problems.

I don’t think you understand what I said.

Also, that’s a lot of explaining, and lots of feelings associated with arbitrary numbers. Fahrenheit doesn’t need anywhere near that level of explanation. It doesn’t necessitate the pegging of feelings to random numbers.

The sentence “Fahrenheit is a 0-100 scale of how hot it is outside” is all anyone needs to immediately understand and be able to use fahrenheit. I didn’t need to type out a long list of what each temperature value means to me. There is no need for a mneumonic such as “10 is cold, 20s not, 30s warm, and 40s hot”

If you’re doing math in a lab, absolutely use Celsius. I’m not saying it doesn’t have a place. It’s just not the be-all end-all most perfectest temperature measurement system ever.

Do you understand the base-10 numerical system? Do you understand percentages? Congratulations, you understand fahrenheit. You can no longer honestly say, on the internet or otherwise, that fahrenheit is meaningless to you. You are now a fahrenheit understander, whether you like it or not.

Also, your second statement answers your first question. When I say “as hot as a normal person can tolerate” i do not mean “wear light clothes”, I mean “as hot as a normal person can tolerate”. Thats why i said “as hot as a normal person can tolerate”. Happy to clear that up you for you.

Abnormalities/outliers are not something on which we should base standards of measurements.
