The British news is v annoying to me personally because it’s a quasi-reactionary political stunt from a government I don’t care for

loquacius posted:Fahrenheit has a better use case, which makes people really really mad when you talk about it. Try it out, it's a neat trick! It literally doesn't and people like you insisting it does are the worst. Celcius and fahrenheit and both equally useful in daily life and your preference is 100% based on which one you're used to, not some nonsense about fahrenheit being "more natural" or whatever

loquacius posted:The only imperial measurements I objectively think are a pain in the rear end are the cooking ones, tablespoons and teaspoons and fluid ounces etc, because you have to convert between them more often than you'd think and they're not intuitive no matter how long you've been using them Argument solved! It's more granular so gently caress metric! Now maybe don't poo poo up the Most Blessed Thread with this stupid bullshit!

loquacius posted:Also the degrees are smaller and more granularity is very helpful here, you never have to worry about a half-degree or whatever. I mean this distinction is ridiculous anyway because the human body is ridiculously poor at perceiving temperature gradients of either 1 degree F or C, but also the metric thermostats in my house and car do half degrees and it's fine? There's no inherent value to whole numbers here. Celsius isn't significantly better than Fahrenheit in its own merits, it's just that it's integrated with the Metric system that is vastly superior to either of the garbage tier Imperial customaries.

When Lt. Leon Crane's airplane crashed in the Alaskan wilderness on Dec. 21st 1943, the daily high temperature was 40 below zero. I don't need to specify whether that was Celsius or Fahrenheit because they're the same at that temperature.

time to cook some food using the best possible measurement for it - a temperature system based on an educated guess of the average human body temperature.

PittTheElder posted:I mean this distinction is ridiculous anyway because the human body is ridiculously poor at perceiving temperature gradients of either 1 degree F or C This whole derail is dumb as gently caress and I’m going to gleefully continue it by saying that if my house is 73, I’m stuffy and warm, 71 I’m kinda chilly, 72 is just right. Kinda weird. That said, if I go outside yeah I probably can’t tell you the immediate difference between 65 and 70 let alone 65 and 66.
