World War Mammories posted:zero is cold, below zero is really cold, 40 is pretty dang hot, 20-30 is nice weather This is absolutely less intuitive than Fahrenheit, which is basically an apples-to-apples measure of "how hot is it outside today, on a scale of 1-100?" I say adopt all metric units except Celsius for everyday use. Celsius is good for STEM work but bad for Joe Sixpack. My logic is unimpeachable.

the funniest part of switching to metric would be how mad landowners get at having to describe their lots in hectares instead of acres

frankenfreak posted:You're calling it "intuitive" because you're used to it. I have no idea if 80F is hot or not. For me All Units Of Measure Are Ultimately Arbitrary but seriously though you can't tell me that a system where 0 is really cold and 100 is really hot isn't more intuitive for that use-case than one where 0 is kind of cold and 100 is the literal apocalypse. Metric advocates aren't used to being told that a metric measure is less intuitive than an Imperial one, which is confusing for them, I get it

StashAugustine posted:I agree w temperature but metric should be used for all other purposes including the republican calendar Absolutely this Can you guys believe that in the "Gregorian" calendar used by certain barbarian cultures, the year is divided up into 12 "months", and some of them have 30 days, but some of them have 31, and one of them has 28, except some years it actually has 29 for some reason how on earth does that make any sense  And all the months are named after like Roman emperors or gods or some poo poo, it's insane One of them means basically "month number 9" but it's the 11th one

Don't step to me like DuckDuckGo is a major player in the search space which more than 0.01% of people have ever heard of or anything crazy like that. Also, how does Edge "make the computer run" it also has to do with the fact that they do a ton of enterprise and b2b stuff, and especially govt stuff institutional customers generally don't want their data gathered or picked over, and have the buying power necessary for their opinion to actually matter nobody cares if you datamine Joe Rando's letter to the bank, but if terms from CEOs' business correspondence or politicians' planning discussions start showing up in ads, People Who Matter go apeshit

This is an easy argument to solve Make 0 be absolute zero where nothing is colder than it Make 1 be the temperature of the surface of the sun Roll with it from there

I have no idea what 70 Fahrenheit means. Is it hot? Maybe it's hot. I don't know, because I don't use it. This means it is an idiot system for fuckers and not appropriate for daily life.

The USA should convert to the metric system but not quite yet It would make for a good jobs program in the next recession/depression, it will be a lot of work to replace all those street signs and etc. Let's not convert to Yurop recipe units though, who wants to deal with measuring all their ingredients on a kitchen scale

steinrokkan posted:Yes, people never use water, and feeling of warmth has nothing to do with humidity, and people do not use freezing as a reference point for weather. Every day when I'm trying to figure out what clothes and jacket are going to be appropriate for the weather, the first thing I think is "ok but how hot is it out relative to the boiling point of water? If I took a glass of water outside and just kind of left it for a while, what would happen?" My temperature scale is water-based, because all of my decisions are water-based. I was considering not posting this, but my water said it was okay. Water.
