Somehow the terminally online tankies will still blame Democrats for that, too.

We intentionally made suicide cords all the time at my old job lol

Oh, honey, yeah.

Yeah.

That’s a lot of words to say nothing.

Could just admit you’re a stupid cunt and move along

No need to be a dumb cunt mate. -18C to 38C is the closest you’d get to the 0-100F range I mentioned earlier. It’s a stupid-ass interval. Just as stupid as 5280 feet in a mile for instance.

Why use negatives at all? There’s a perfectly good temperature scale that largely doesn’t need negatives, is conceptually similar to the base 10 construction of other SI units, and is more precise than Celsius.

Negative C is absolutely common what the fuck are you talking about. Canada, Russia, the US, some deserts. Several countries experience regular highs in the 0Cs during winter months and therefore negative lows. Someone should get out more.

The entire point of this post under which we are all commenting is insinuating a superior system of measure. Jesus you actually are this stupid.

“every reply”

No just that one and this one. Fuck off idiot.

All measurements scales are interchangeable once you learn - that’s not the point of this particular thread of comments. It’s “what’s most useful comparatively given the SI penchant for base 10”. The answer isn’t a temperature scale that, for day to day human concern, is not -18 to 38 - that’s fucking stupid.

Saying that you didn’t read my argument because your point ignored it entirely is an insult? It’s abuse? LMAO.

Are you fucking stupid? <- that is an insult

They will defend Celsius being used for everyday weather reporting with their last breath with their ONLY fallback being “well you’re just used to fahrenheit durrrrrrr” as if that logic can’t be applied to every unit system on earth.

No negative numbers needed for most cases, 0-100 scale for the extremes MOST people need to care about with relative “feels like” every 10 degrees (but realistically every 5 is distinguishable, even smaller amounts depending). Ez pz.

IDK why you’re so defensive about Celsius lol. It’s okay to admit when an SI unit has a poor application. Your ONLY defense for it is “well people can get used to it” which is the exact same reason I could say “well you could just get used to feet, inches, yards, miles, pounds, ounces, fluid ounces, teaspoons, tablespoons, etc” - it’s a shit argument for both.

But oh that’s right this is Lemmy where “america bad” for everything.

Tell me you didn’t read the argument without telling me you didn’t read the argument.

What’s funny is the person who brought up arguments FOR Fahrenheit over Celsius to me that I hadn’t considered is actually a Brit. They lived in England and the US and your explanation here is very similar to theirs.

Brilliant response.

That’s a poor argument, though, when the justification for utilizing volume, mass, and distance is because it is very “base 10”-y and is easily divisible and understood.

Celsius absolutely is shit for that.

I could use your logic to justify why imperial units are better for length, for example, but we all know it’s a bit fucked. Celsius is absolutely fucked for temperature regarding human comfort and is imprecise.

Honestly, temperature (in terms of weather preparedness, not cooking) makes WAY more sense with Fahrenheit. Largely the only temperatures you care about are 0 to 100 and generally you feel a good difference in temp every 10 degrees F.

Almost everything else I prefer metric. But that’s one where Celsius is just terrible.

It’s as simple as this really. It’s included therefore a subscribing company can just not renew a slack, Zoom, or whatever contract and say “hey we saved money”
