So aside from water chemistry calculations, why aren't you

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!
>>
>>69710952
-50 C is really cold.
+50 C is really hot.

0 F is pretty comfy if you`re not naked.

>>69710952
At 0C water freezes, and at 100C, it evaporates.

You know that, right? You think it's less logical than fahrenheit?
>>
>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

>>69711881
You wouldn't. What practical use does Fahrenheit have over Celsius?
>>
>>69711987
it's pointless to argue over but fahrenheit has a wider range of temperatures which is optimal for comfort
>>
>>69711987
it keeps the people with an iq equal to the ambient temperature calm enough so they wont go burning the other ones for witchcraft
>>
>>69711987
Fahrenheit is more precise than celsius

example 70 f = 21.1111111 c
75 = 23.8888
etc
>>
>>69712164
i don't think you have the slightest idea of what precision means
>>
>>69712115
I don't get how that's a plus. It makes much more sense that water freezes at 0 and boils at 100

>>69712164
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.
>>
>>69712164
>>69712115
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
>>
>>69711351
At 0F seawater freezes
100F is 'human body temp' or it was when the scale was made. Temperature reading has gotten better

>in america
"what's the temperature?" "it's 87 degrees"

>even scientists do it
enjoy having the wrong temperatures in your measurements dumbass
>>
>>69712535
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
>>
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

>>69712337
that's great and i like celsius. but water temperature is irrelevant in terms of human comfort

>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

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

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.
>>
>>69712885
>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
>>
>>69712929
>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

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
>>
>>69717870
Because there's nothing wrong with using Celsius for outside temperatures. As >>69715799 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?

but there is, as >>69715799 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
>>
>>69718580
>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.

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
