You’re a weird dude. Go find something to do that makes you happy. Whatever you’ve got now isn’t working.

I kind of laughed when I read this - it would be really awkward if they weren’t both teachers.

Abby: “Good morning class, today we’re going around the room to talk about what we did over break.”

Brittany: "Stupid little shits, I wanted to be a pilot! We could have taken turns sleeping and been a dynamic duo for international travel 😢 "

My original point was that Fahrenheit is more useful as a gauge of human comfort temperature.

But now you’ve made my other point that there is a not-insignificant number of people, like you, who’s identity is so wrapped up in the perceived superiority of all things metric that you get your panties in a twist at the slightest challenge. It’s honestly funny.

I mean, look at you for example. You voluntarily joined a conversation to go off on an unhinged rant and call me names. Just take a moment to think about your life and the choices you’ve made to bring you to this point where you lose your shit over a unit of measure.

I’d just say 52, but keep raging.

And base 3 sometimes (yards). When taught well, there’s a ton of value in learning to quantify the world in a variety of base systems.

Not uniquely American, but thinking in base 7 (weeks), base 12 (years, hours, feet), base 60 (minutes), base 3 (yards), base 10 (the default unless told otherwise), etc. really helps you adapt and estimate a number of other, unrelated, things.

There is another! Woo hoo!

It’s kind of telling (and hilarious to me) how many comments I was able to spawn just by saying, “I like Fahrenheit better”. People using Celsius for daily, is-it-comfy-for-a-human use absolutely lose their shit if you challenge them.

We all subjectively are more used to our scales

Definitely agree. We’re comfortable with what we grew up with and there’s nothing wrong with that.

For water, however, freezing pretty bang on zero … Which I’d argue is an objective benefit over Fahrenheit for weather.

Ehhh, only if you have to think of freezing as zero. For us Fahrenheiters, “above 0” is cold but manageable with a coat. “below 0” means don’t go outside unless you have to. That’s a pretty convenient gauge to me.

Negative? Freezing. Looks great on a graph

Of course. If you’re plotting shit on a graph then you’re likely doing lab work, and I’ll agree that celsius is a great scale. Not for daily “how’s the weather” use though.

Go figure. I guess the hotels I stay at don’t exist then. Thanks for the info.

Dude you just did it, “low 60s”.

???

You do know that low 60s is not a 10 degree span, right? Right??

I’m beginning to see why some of you can’t handle Fahrenheit units of measure…

ETA: Sure, I might say something like “upper 70s for the high” if I don’t have any better Idea but, again that is not a 10 degree span of temperature units. Please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me you understand that basic premise of communication?!

I’m not talking any louder, you’re going to have to move to the front of the room.

“Necessary” is a strong word, but it is, moreso than when using Fahrenheit.

Kraven_the_Hunter , to lemmyshitpost in Handy temperature conversion scale.

Not sure what you’re on about, I read the temperature just fine.

Kraven_the_Hunter , (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in Handy temperature conversion scale.

I never round 10 degrees, that’s crazy. Definitely to a nearby whole number though.

“What’s the temperature going to be today?”

“I think low 60s in the morning and 75 or 78 for the high.”

So, maybe a 5 degree range max.

Pre- or post- Mars orbiter?

Have you ever stayed in a hotel with the wall thermostat set to C? If so, press the up/down temperature buttons. They’ll move by 0.2 or 0.5 usually.
