Celsius is the most widely used temperature scale in the world. Christianity is the most popular religion in the world.

Celsius is the Jesus of temperature measurement.

Worse: Fahrenheit vs Celsius

See puppetmaster goon, this is how you actually start a derail. Just the mention of temperature chat brings people out of the woodwork. You gotta up your game or you'll never have anyone dancing on the end of your strings.

Besides if you're not a puppetmaster you are clearly a puppet, dancing on the end of the strings of someone else.

Git gud.

To be fair that's pretty accurate in C, too

If it's 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside, you know to wear shorts and a hat and stick to the shade because it's really friggin' hot out

If it's 100 degrees Celsius outside, you know to get into your underground bunker because the apocalypse has begun

And if it's 0 degrees F out you know it's an arctic tundra, but if it's 0 degrees C you may want to grab a jacket.

If you're drinking ten shots a day and AA isn't helping, rehab would be the next logical step.

Also, alcoholic goon: note that doctors are perfectly aware of how people lie about their drinking, so when you're saying "oh, two or three drinks a day" and they see your whole health picture they know exactly what's going on. Go to rehab.

That's what I've been saying! Fahrenheit is great if you need to know how cold it is outside on a scale of 1 to 100; Celsius is great if you need to know whether a quantity of water is frozen or boiling and you don't know what ice or steam is

I've known a lot of functional alcholics in my day and none of them gained long-term sobriety through abstinance. Don't most rehabs focus on that?

My fiancee is a radiologist and I asked her to explain me the difference what the gently caress is with all the rems and rads and sieverts and grays and becquerels and curies and roentgens and coulombs and she did but my eyes glazed over and all I remember is that some are SI and some are old style.

Doesn't matter if the number fits nice and squarely on some neat interval though. If you grow up knowing -10 is pretty darn cold and 40 is quite hot, that's fine too.

All forms of measurement are ultimately arbitrary, yes, but you can't piss people off by saying this (unless they are metric-system enthusiasts, because the metric system is a mathematically perfect system intrinsic to physical existence and handed down to the first man by God)

Real rehab therapy focuses on getting to emotional issues that cause the drinking. I knew a group counselor and he said their meetings involved a lot of shouting and crying.

Metric system makes sense, but you would have to remove every INCH measurement from everything and that goes into fasteners and poo poo. You have no idea how frustrating it is to listen to people say "I want a 6mm bolt that is 1.5" long". Give me a fastener that is 1.5" long in metric. Then tell me how many mm it is in, and tell me if 1.5" is easier than 37.5mm

In closing, gently caress metric, Im gonna stay INCH strong

Lol, no, everything about metric, every single thing from temp to time to volts all comes down to a physical object, the kilogram.

If the prototype kilogram gets scratched you can slam dunk your equations in the trash because the whole system is hosed

Sometime next year they're going to fix this by redefining the kilogram to be based on planck's constant.

The only non-arbitrary measures of time are days and years, and even those fluctuate. But seconds/minutes/hours are purely imaginary.
