So aside from water chemistry calculations, why aren't you using the best temperature scale in existance, Fahrenheit? Degrees of it are like a % of how close the weather is to hot or cold 0% of people are comfy at 0°F (if you're naked ), 50% would be OK with 50°F weather (that's shorts and a t-shirt weather in Michigan) and 100% of people would be perfectly fine in 100°F weather (sunburn protection notwithstanding)
Fahrenheit is the perfect colloquial temperature scale to use(more degrees in the liveable temperature range, you never see a messy decimal in Fahrenheit temps), the only thing stopping it is ignorance

I've been to 100C a number of times and I'm not dead.yet.
There goes your shit system. Bye!
Bentley Adams
-50 C is really cold. +50 C is really hot.
0 F is pretty comfy if you`re not naked.

Only americans use it, that's why I Prefer celsius. You can take your miles, pounds, psi, farenheit, inches and sink them in your ass.
Jacob Gray
irrational, rude and incomprehensible just like the current american president-elect :^)
Colton Johnson
Wow, who would've guessed that an Americant would react like a juvenile shit. Really boggles the mind.
Henry Rodriguez
At 0C water freezes, and at 100C, it evaporates.
You know that, right? You think it's less logical than fahrenheit?
Brayden Johnson
>not knowing both
here's how to remember it OP 0 to 10 cold (aprox 30s and 40s in freedom degrees) between 10 and 20= cool (50s to mid 60s) 20 degree= perfect (mid to high 60s) between 20 and 30 = warm (70s, 80s) 30 to 40 = hot (90s)
just guessed on the fahrenheight numbers but should be pretty acurate (lived in the states for a year)
anything outside that range is fucking uncomfortable
Parker Green
>not knowing both >just guessed on the fahrenheight numbers well played dumbass
Caleb Jackson
We're familiar with Celsius and don't need to think in terms of percent comfort. We don't need your idiotic system.
David Jones
>100C nice and hot sauna >25C nice and hot summer day >0C freezing point of water at 1 atm >-25C nice and cold winter day >-100C nice and cold cryotherapy
Carson Davis
read OPs post he says it is logical based on water chemistry
f is more logical based on humans desu
Adrian Morris
what i mean is that i didn't calculate them.
it's like being fluent in a foreign language. you dont translate the two, you know them both separately but can make decent approximations as to how it would translate
Andrew Collins
>0 to 10 cold you should probably wear sneakers instead of sandals at this point >between 10 and 20= perfect summer >between 20 and 30 = hot >30 to 40 = better stay inside if you don't want to be fried
Camden Parker
Except these are precise measuring units with a mathematical relationship
Justin Walker
Checked
Easton Martin
nice damage control, but if you're fluent you don't think about approximations, you consistently use the right vocabulary without giving it any thought
Justin Morales
>f is more logical based on humans desu How? It's just that Americans are more used to it, Celsius makes as much sense and is much easier to convert to Kelvin when needed
Dominic Phillips
when would you possibly need to convert to kelvin in normal life?
Brody Scott
kek once it gets below 20 here everyone breaks out their heavy coats yeah but the formula is retarded, if you want to do the math in your head, fine. >being this autistic m8 im just saying i dont convert my speech precisely when i speak english, its a different set of information. i dont know why this is bothering you so much
Lincoln Martinez
You wouldn't. What practical use does Fahrenheit have over Celsius?
Liam Moore
it's pointless to argue over but fahrenheit has a wider range of temperatures which is optimal for comfort
Jason Barnes
it keeps the people with an iq equal to the ambient temperature calm enough so they wont go burning the other ones for witchcraft
Colton James
Fahrenheit is more precise than celsius
example 70 f = 21.1111111 c 75 = 23.8888 etc
Carson Thompson
i don't think you have the slightest idea of what precision means
Brayden Rogers
I don't get how that's a plus. It makes much more sense that water freezes at 0 and boils at 100
You Americans boast that Fahrenheit is better suited for the average man and you claim it's more precise? There's no need for that much precision in real life, and even then scientist can just add decimals if they really want to achieve the same result.
Leo Roberts
So... If I were to create my own unit that's essentially really cold winter = 0° and really hot summer = 100000°, it would become the objectively best unit, since there's a lot of range. Interesting reasoning
Juan Price
At 0F seawater freezes 100F is 'human body temp' or it was when the scale was made. Temperature reading has gotten better
Tyler Harris
>in america "what's the temperature?" "it's 87 degrees" >rest of the world "what's the temperature?" "it's 30.5556 degrees"
literally taking more than twice as long to give the correct temperature
Hunter Foster
>What is rounding up Even scientists do it all the time, stop defending a German temperature measurement you got from being an English colony that nobody but Americans use it nowadays.
Luis Jenkins
>what is rounding up the incorrect temperature João >even scientists do it enjoy having the wrong temperatures in your measurements dumbass
James Watson
what a nice piece of shit "argument" you pulled out of your ass
if you calculate from .0 it would be rounded up to 31 because 1) the accuracy of measurement was not .00001 degrees AND 2) degrees C are not given in floating point unless it's some kind of really precise measuring and even then the inherent lack of precision rounds units up
and lastly: it is actually the case in scientific computation that SI (or metric) is preferred because it can be done with integer arithmetic unlike imperial which is a load of bullshit for the plebs
tl;dr you sir are a retard
Camden Hernandez
my favorite thing about fahrenheit is seeing how butthurt it makes some people. its a nice fuck you to all the people that feel like they have to conform to some global standard
that's great and i like celsius. but water temperature is irrelevant in terms of human comfort diminishing returns
Evan Hall
yes, but its also less accurate, and less useful for YOU think sigfigs
>>not knowing both >implying I dont op here, made this thread right before walking into my Thermodynamics III course today, I think I know them both ok
it just seems odd that people would prefer the one thats less precise for common everyday use
then again we still use miles and feet
9/5's is a messy fraction for doing mental math tho
>i don't think you have the slightest idea of what precision means >>implying
whats more important information when you watch the weather on the news, whats going to happen to your lab experiments you left out in the open in the backyard? or how much clothes you need to put on before you go to work in the morning? if the slight changes were noticeable enough, then yes you could argue that you would waste a lot of watts and or ink printing out all those extra numbers though
>>What is rounding up >Even scientists do it all the time they follow a standard set of rules when they do so, they dont do it for neatness or convenience

>100 gayhrenheit is 37.7778 celsius (lol so random) >212 gayhrenheit is 100 celsius (water boiling) >literally based on just some guy going "wew lad this is pretty warm i'll base an entire measurement with this arbitrary temperature because i felt like it!"
Matthew Thompson
fahrenheit is silly because the freezing point of water is just some rando number. you'd think marking that would be pretty important when it comes to weather.
Jack Cox
>my favorite thing about fahrenheit is seeing how butthurt it makes some people. its a nice fuck you to all the people that feel like they have to conform to some global standard agreed, or use the rankine for maximum ass devastation
knowing both is always of course always the best answer, but it always irks me when people who've never even boiled water brag about how "superior" celcius is, when their argument for its usefulness is that "people smarter than me told me its better, so therefore it is"
damn, spainiard is on point today
Jeremiah Garcia
>9/5's is a messy fraction for doing mental math tho Then either round it to a half if precision is not important, or get rid of the need to do the math entirely by completely leaving behind one of those units. I propose Fahrenheit, since there are far fewer countries using it :^) The entire celsius vs Fahrenheit boils down to "my reference point is better than yours", which is absolutely subjective.
>you would waste a lot of watts and or ink printing out all those extra numbers though And Fahrenheit tends to have 2 digits when celsius needs 1, or 3 when celcius uses 2. Checkmate atheists
Connor Allen
>people who've never even boiled water Huh? How's that possible?
William Butler
>-100C >criotherapy i think you are talking about cryonics
Logan Flores
just remember 32f is when water freezes and your golden
(-10f or -20f is when deisel/some gasoline engines wont start, another useful little number to know)
0F is a good warning sign to protect yo skin, pic related
Eli Bailey
as in precisely boiling something, not stovetop
do you honestly use a thermometer to measure the temp of your boiling pot of water every time you cook spaghetti?
pic related, youre either being obtuse for obtuseness's sake, or you need to go back to school, pic marginally related
Michael Williams
I'm just giving this pointless argument the reasoning it deserves

I boil water way more regularly than it is 100F over here.
Sebastian Bennett
10 and under - fucking cold 15 cold 20 cool 30 noice 35 hot 40 fucken hot 44+ cunt's fucked
Christopher Walker
but instead of getting rid of celsius, I'm wondering why more nations dont use a second temperature scale for everyday use, thats less clunky and awkward your rational for using celsius only is the exact same argument someone advocating everyone just speak english instead of (insert your home countries language here)
Why do foreigners dismiss a better way of expressing temp in everyday conversation? You're reveling in your ignorance, bragging about how stupid you are, instead of gaining new insight from a new perspective
Robert Thomas
Because there's nothing wrong with using Celsius for outside temperatures. As showed it gives a pretty good range of temperatures with 0C being a definite inflection point in weather and environment. And what's the point of using two scales if one will do?
Brody Ward
>Because there's nothing wrong with using Celsius for outside temperatures. As showed but there is, as showed, you never discuss weather in the 50's, 60's 70's 80's or 90's your first digit is wasted, you deprive yourself precision for the sake of laziness
Adam Lee
>your first digit is wasted, you deprive yourself precision for the sake of laziness The difference of 1C isn't really noticeable + as I said you don't just use Celsius for measuring outside temps. As a homebrewer who has to regularly works in the 50C-80C temperature range I'm quite happy I don't have to deal with Fahrenheit for that. Plus converting between Celsius and Fahrenheit in your head is downright impossible. I had no problem developing a feeling for ounces, pounds, inches, quarts etc. but Fahrenheit is just weird.
Hunter Flores
0º it snows water is frozen 10º it doesnt snow but it's really cold 20º good 30º it's really hot 40º morocco 50º holy shit desert fucking hoven in here 60º actual hoven you can't actually live here 70º - 90º like don't live here 100º water evaporates and turns into gas that's how fucking hot it is i told not to go here
