I like Fahrenheit because anything under 0 degrees is a place you shouldn't live and anything over 100 is a place you shouldn't live

In the northeastern US, late(sometimes even middle) fall, winter, and early spring are full of temperatures way below the freezing point of water, to the point where in the winter 32 isn't even that cold out. 0C isn't all that cold and 100C is a natural atmospheric temperature outside of like... being close to lava.

I think he's saying -50C to 50C, not 0-100C, hence 'centered' how this is meant to be more convenient for anything is unclear since it's a handy-dandy mnemonic involving negative numbers and if you're not a scientist half of that scale is just fine gradations on it's way too goddamned cold A Wizard of Goatse has issued a correction as of 20:15 on Sep 11, 2019 |

They’re poo poo out of luck because they could never get flavoured cigarettes. They can still get flavour‐free vapes. In what universe do people go “I can’t get flavored vapejizz now so I guess I’ll switch to equally flavorless cigarettes”?

And negative ones for temperatures are pretty rare here, too.

ya same. direct sun vs shade, humidity, and wind all make more than 1C/2F difference so decimals are worthless in a weather context

Krankenstyle posted:ya same. direct sun vs shade, humidity, and wind all make more than 1C/2F difference so decimals are worthless in a weather context Differences of less than one centigrade can matter. There are plants that take superficial damage at e.g. 30°F but at 29°F they’ll die back to the ground. Plants don’t feel the wind like we do and shade is irrelevant at night. It’s true that temperature can vary over a small area, but it’s generally correlated. If the forecast says it will be 30°F on Tuesday and 29°F on Wednesday, it may not be exactly 30°F on Tuesday at your place, but it’s a good bet that it will be colder on Wednesday than on Tuesday. There’s still a risk that one “30°F” night isn’t the same as the next “30°F” night because of local or other factors (like higher cold sensitivity in wet soil), but granularity is good and it’s nice having it on apps and devices that otherwise wouldn’t by flipping the toggle to “I miss the empire  ”.The people making that electronic home weather station won’t bother to program and display tenths of Celsius degrees, but they have to have Fahrenheit. It’s a selling point.

If difference in temperature of less than one centigrade didn’t matter, we would not yet have felt global warming. How’s that for a hot take?
