Comment on temperature
Gabu@lemmy.world 9 months agoSee how you get 64 extra degrees of precision and nearly all of them are double digit numbers? No downside.
Except you don’t, because all instrumentation uses celsius, as that is the sensible system. Also to human perception a difference of 1 degree C is already negligible, thinking adding an extra digit has any benefits is lunacy.

Any response to the rest of my point?
Source?

Simple experiment. Hold a pan at 50ºC for a minute, then hold a different pan for a minute at 51ºC. Once you’re done, tell me which burn hurt more, okay? :)

Hey buddy this is a bit much for a discussion about temperature scales, no? I’m quite shocked by this response tbh, if I knew people were this sensitive about Celsius I would have been more diplomatic in my original comment.
You’ll never know what it’s like to enjoy a sunny summer day, not a cloud in the sky, with a high of 82. Unlucky.

God damn man this is embarrassing, and I say that as a Fahrenheit using American. You realize the only reason that 82 sounds like that is because you grew up with it, right? That to someone using Celsius, 28 degrees sounds exactly the same in their head?
I swear the only explanation is narcissism. Just an complete inability to empathize and understand other people’s worldviews.
