FACT

[(Anonymous)]

Fahrenheit is better than Celsius for normal every day things.

One, who cares if C is based on water?

Two, the "safe" zone for C is only like 5-30. So the majority of the "main" C scale is useless for humans.

And the BIGGEST reason? F is WAY more precise. For ever 10 degrees of C you got 18 degrees of F. So many more options.

I was going to laugh at this and move on, but the more I think about it the more your second point confuses me.

When you say "safe zone" what do you refer to? It can't be body temperature because even 30ºC is too low for that. Survival? Humans live and have lived all throughout history in far colder and hotter climates than that.

Also, are you somehow under the impression that the Fahrenheit scale is applicable only to this "safe zone" of yours and doesn't get any higher or lower? Or do you think that temperatures being expressed in Fahrenheit somehow make them safer?

Or are you just trolling? Is this trolling? Did I just fall for a troll?

Re: FACT

NAYRT and I don't get what they mean by 'safe zone' but I agree with their point overall - for the range of temperatures that human beings frequently deal with in day-to-day life, things like weather and whatnot, Fahrenheit is better because it's more precise and more dynamic across that range.

For instance, things like weather. You can either say a place's temperature is between -13 and 38, or you can say it's between 8 and 100. Fahrenheit is a ton more precise here, and human beings can get more information from it as a result.

Nayrt

"Safe" might mean "easily survivable." When the temperature gets colder you need warm clothing and access to shelter and probably also an external heat source. Societies in cold climates always have a lot of gear and stuff to keep warm.

It's easier at hotter temperatures since we are a tropical species, but we do need more water under hot conditions and people die in heat waves all the time. In hot climates, people may be less active during the hottest part of the day and do more at night when it's cooler (probably more a desert thing, since humidity means it doesn't cool down much at night).

Re: FACT

Temperature in every day life isn't just about how hot or cold it is outside. What about cooking?

Re: FACT

[(Anonymous)]

Still kinda true at those points, isn't it? 350-390 vs 180-200. It's less dramatic the higher up you go but it's still kinda there.

Re: FACT

[(Anonymous)]

If you need more precission, that's what decimals are for. And honestly, do you really need it? The only instance in which I bother with fractions of a degree is when talking about body temperature, because up to 36,9°C I'm perfectly fine but if I go up to 37°C I start feeling a bit dizzy.

Calm the fuck down man....
There is a reason the whole entire world goes by the Celsius standard... Because no one goes outside on a Monday morning and asks, 'is it 12 Degrees, or 12.4 Degrees?', because either way it's going to be chilly, so they're going to wear their goddamn coat...

And if you're trying to get away with health standards- by no means should you govern that by decimals... The fact that germs multiply between so-and-so degrees, means you stay away them regardless of their 18th value. You don't go and say, 'hey, this has been kept .02 fahrenheit out of toxic range, wanna eat it?'...
Hell, rice holds a germ that can't be boiled/frozen away, do all American's then measure that standard unto the last possible integer? Because no one uses the measure of hot and cold for anything other than to measure hot and cold- and at that point, why not just use the certified freezing to boiling point method, rather than create your own 18th value standard just so you can feel super special awesome.

Re: FACT

[(Anonymous)]

The fact that you’re arguing against Farenheit by saying decimals are unnecessary is hopefully intentionally ironic.

Re: FACT

[(Anonymous)]

The fact that americans are the the only ones to use fahrenheit, yet (still) expect the rest of the world to follow suit, is ironic enough for me as it is.

Re: FACT

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, my country uses both in most things that aren't official weather reports, and we're hardly unique in that since Farenheit only fell out of the world's general favor about 50 years ago, but hooray for you.

Re: FACT

Temperature is onbe place where I don't get people being militant about scales either way. It's not like one is easier to use than the other. If you're cooking and the recipe says to set the oven to a certain temperature, you do that. It doesn matter what scale you're using as long as both are the same.
