Because you're biased.

One system has a physiological range of approximately 0-100, the other has a range of approximately -20-40. It's quite obvious which is better suited for everyday use.

Explain.
>>
>>9137633
>>9137596
I have to say I agree. 0 being "really cold outside" and 100 being "really hot outside" is more useful than the freezing point of water, which would only be used for snow, and the boiling point of water, which would be used for cooking maybe.

Celsius makes more sense in a formal/scientific context, in my opinion. Fahrenheit is obviously superior when it comes to real world practicality since the 0-100 range is such a perfect match relative to the humans perception of temperature.

>0 cold as fuck

A 0 to 100 scale is intuitive and sufficiently divisible.

Celsius is good scientifically. Kelvin is good if you need more science than just a bit.

>73 is better in a human life context than 22.778
Who the fuck would think of reading it as 22.778? It's close enough to 23 in the human life context to not matter. Celsius at least has the utility of having 0 be set at the freezing point of water at ground level, and 100 at the boiling point, which is the only actual difference in usefulness between the two.
>>
>>9137645
It's only more useful because you're used to it. For me fahrenheit doesn't say shit, and I know that -20C is a typical cold winter day here, and +20C is a typical warm summer day here.
>>
>Fahrenheit proposed his temperature scale in 1724, basing it on two reference points of temperature. In his initial scale (which is not the final Fahrenheit scale), the zero point is determined by placing the thermometer in a mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride (salis Armoniaci).[6] This is a frigorific mixture which stabilizes its temperature automatically: that stable temperature was defined as 0 °F (−17.78 °C).
>>
>>9138173
Celsius and Kelvin are literally the same thing. Celsius just puts an cap, based on the states of water to bring the measurment into a easily differentiable scope. Meanwhile, farenshit has no meaning whatsoever, since it's based on nothing. It exist soley because low-IQ, HFCS-fueled ameritrash props it up, just like the retarded imperial system.

>>9139228

Celcius isn't "base 10", whatever the fuck you even mean by that. And Fahrenheit IS better for everyday use, since it has more degrees for a given range of temperature, allowing for more precise temperature values without the need for decimals.

"Base 10 refers to the numbering system in common use that uses decimal numbers. Base 10 is also called the decimal system or denary system. In base 10, each digit in a position of a number can have an integer value ranging from 0 to 9 (10 possibilities)."

>>9137518
>Worse in every way that Kelvin for scientific purposes,
It's still better than Fahrenheit, because converting to Kelvin is easier from Celsius, and because delta T-s are the same in Kelvin and in degrees Celsius.
>worse in every way than Fahrenheit for everyday use
You fell for the "Fahrenheit is more intuitive meme". Pro tip: it's not, you're just not used to it.
>>
>>9139233
1 °C precision is enough for everyday contexts, and if you want the extra precision so fucking much, just use 0.5 °C increments, which don't make dealing with the numbers any harder.

>>9137645
>>9137675
I can't fucking fathom how you dumb shits can justify 0 °F being the freezing point of some random salt-water mixture. It's absolutely useless in everyday contexts, because knowing it's below the freezing point of water outside tells me a million times more useful information than knowing that it's really cold.

Celsius scale:
>the temperature begins with a minus sign, I guess I can expect ice and maybe snow
Fahrenheit scale:
>It's 26 °F outside, which is... less than 32 to, so I guess I'll see some ice and maybe some snow outside

To make it clear, I'm not saying that Celsius is the more intuitive scale, just that both scales have their pitfalls, and you conveniently chose to ignore the ones of the Fahrenheit scale.

On the other hand a 0 degree C day isn't really that cold since it's literally just when water freezes (lel snow amirite) and no one on Earth has ever or will ever encounter anything even approaching a 200 degree F day (without fucking dieing)
>>
>>9137763
lol no
what kind of country has snow that doesn't regularly dip below 0 degrees C? and how is 50 degrees C supposed to be a "base 10" max temperature? 0 - 100 degrees F is the closest to a base 10 friendly temperature system that also happens to correspond to the most common climates.

I do put on a coat

it does not get more intuitive than that

every human being knows what temperature of water freezing feels like, it is probably the most universal temperature out there (except maybe for tropical countries)

whereas fahrenheit tells you nothing except "hur durr it felt cold to some historical person subjectively lol"

>>9141768
Most Americans know that water freezes at 32 degrees F because that's just common knowledge. There's also a lot of wiggle room and variables regarding bad road conditions (eg. if there was a blizzard recently then you can still have slush and freezing all over the streets even if the temperatures are above freezing). Similarly it can fall below freezing and you can have clean roads if you've had clean weather. It can also be dangerous to drive in heavy rain and in some communities with dirt roads stuff like rain/mud can be a big concern too.

tl;dr: Temperature isn't sufficient for knowing that the roads are bad and there are many faster, easier, and more effective ways to know that information.

>>9141778
Those temps are near the limit of normal people's experiences/tolerances.

Yes, but no one grows outside when the temperatures are dropping so low that they're stressing out your plants and causing them to flower early (happens long before reaching freezing temps).

Only a retard would suggest that being aware that you're near 0 degrees Celsius is a concern for garden people. Even if the temperatures dropped that far down due to freak weather, there isn't shit you can do.

The only argument for Fahrenheit is that apparently it is more practical for everyday use, but such a *feeling* is completely subjective to the user.
Americans seem to have a problem with using Celsius just because they are not used to it. I personally feel the same with Fahrenheit, and I am very used to automatically think 0° is freezing cold, 10° is very cold, 20° is fresh, 30° is just fuck my shit up senpai. Meanwhile, Having all those numbers under 30°F seems like a waste of numbers, while having 100°F mean nothing more than "very hot" really means nothing.

On another note, Having different measurements for everyday life and science only alienates people from it and makes science more un-accessible to people. If you want to promote science you need to stop editing things for convenience and have people use their brains a bit more

Also, why have 2 different systems when you can have one?

Fahrenheit marks the point of internal body heat

Celcius also marks the boiling point of water

Fahrenheit marks the freezing point of... water with some salt in it?

Celsius has the same magnitude as Kelvin.

Everyone else uses celsius anyway.

So, why have a scientific and regular scale, when you can have a one-fits-all scale, with just as much sense, shared with everybody and with an extra useful pointer (boiling water)?
>>
pro Fahrenheit for everyday use arguments be like

>"what it feels like" is a more useful metric than "my car will slide around under this value and my food is probably going to be safe to eat if it's been over the other value, let's put that range on a 0-100 scale"

fuck off. water freezing and water boiling is the only meaningful everyday metric. "what it feels like" is not a metric, it's a fucking feeling, and i don't give a fuck about the "but 100 deg F is the human body temperature" argument either because there's no meaningful context for that number so it's equally pointless.

Are you seriously arguing evolution when talking about temperature scales? How retarded are you (on the Kelvin scale, please)?

How does that matter when most humans cannot even distinguish between 2°C difference in temperature? You're arguing for more precision yet at the same time argue it is "for humans" when in reality those exact humans cannot even "use" this higher precision.

You are not making a lot of sense.

So? Most people in the rest of the world would say that comfy temperatures are between 20 and 30 degrees C.
People who use their brains would also add relative humidity to that discussion.

Thank you for this picture.
Thank you, because I hate the original pic (pic related) with passion. It does not prove that imperial units are inferior, it merely proves that there are multiple imperial units. The metric system only has one unit of distance - meter. Kilometers, micrometers, etc etc. are not separate units, just a variations on the base one using a defined standard.

> It does not prove that imperial units are inferior, it merely proves that there are multiple imperial units.
...which would pretty much make it inferior for everyday use, in my opinion.
That aside, the imperial system has *one* unit
of length essentially, but their prefixes are not optimized for scaling in orders of magnitude, but for remainderless division, which is why they all have pretty prime factorizations. However, nobody needs that anymore, really. It just justifies why it looks so "strange".
>>
>>9137552
I prefer celcius, because I'm more used to it and it's based on something. Farenheit is based on a bad mix of stuff that even was changed later. But I hate that argument

Like if water was that important. If that's the only thing you have to say you better shut up.

also don't forget that Fahrenheit actual is culturally significant. many people have memories that revolve around a certain temperature.

65 degrees elicits feelings of fall. 40 is to early winter. -10f is that one really cold winter when you were a kid. 38 f is snow that is too sticky to sled on.

people actual have nostalgic connections to the temperature.

The only reason I like fahrenheit better is because there's more numbers which, yes, makes me "feel" better about it. From very hot to very cold is a huuuge change in both how my body feels and how the external world looks and operates; I want the numbers to reflect that, and bigger numbers help. There's too big, like if the numbers were in the hundreds or thousands, a lot of those single and double digit numbers would be useless. Fahrenheit is comfy I think.

Scientifically yeah C is better, but everyone is arguing about nostalgia and how one is intuitively better than the other. So if we're going to argue on

>muh feels

then I'd say bigger numbers intuitively feel better and more accurately represent the huge changes that happen with temperature. F has bigger numbers

In science though yeah why the fuck would you use F

This is not why. Literally nobody cares about the boiling point of water on an everyday basis, 40 is more relevant since that denotes "really hot".

Get some fucking reading comprehension you piece of shit. Of course that's not hard to remember, but the celsius scale's choice for zero is the more logical choice, which those posters just ignored entirely.

its shit because its defined at 2 arbitrary points with a fuckton of conditions for a particular material . fehrenshit is exactly the same .

kelvin is less shit because its defined using one point which is singular for this material but shit because of the arbitrary choice of material .

temperature should only ever be measured using natural units (like velocity is converted from brainlet units to natural using v/c) . all temperature should be expressed as fractions of planck temperature so our temperature scale is not dependent on having access to or synthesizing dihydrogen monoxide .

it should be possible to send any textbook ot paper via radio to any system in the universe and given that the transmission is received the ayylmaos should be able to read it understand it and figure out the units .
