BrikoXHow to measure things like a Canadian?
rekabisIt’s only true if you are over 55-60.
I’m 50, and almost never use Imperial. Especially temperature - like, who TF uses Fahrenheit? It makes absolutely no sense in almost every context.
Because of its scale, Fahrenheit works better for describing the temperature as it relates to people and how comfortable or dangerous it is. Celsius obviously works better for science and engineering. But with Fahrenheit, you can describe almost the entire range of normal human survivability from freezing to death to burning to death with (almost always) only two digits and no sign change. If you see an extra digit or a negative sign on the Fahrenheit scale you know shit just got real. And as for the numbers in between 0-100, you can conceptualize them as a simple decimal range like we do for lots of other statistical things like movie ratings, school/exam grading brackets, political polls on TV, percentages, etc.
Sir_Osis_of_LiverWhat? That's a rationalization for your preferred system.
Depts of Winter -35C
Spring/Fall 0C
Heights of Summer +35C
In Fahrenheit that would be:
Winter -31F
Spring/Fall +32F
Summer +95F
Which is completely arbitrary.
Yes, I thought I was very clear that I was explaining my rationalization for why Fahrenheit is my preferred arbitrary system for a specific use case. Fahrenheit is arbitrary and centered around human existence. Celsius is also arbitrary and centered around the phase changes of water. I made no mention of season because again, that is totally arbitrary, not universal, and depends wholly on geography. The only temperature scale that even gets close to trying to not be arbitrary is Kelvin, but I don’t see you bullying for it’s everyday use.
