Comment on Everyday, as an American
smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 months agoReplying again because you’ve edited your comment and added another paragraph.
Your edit adds that Celsius is “absolutely fucked” regarding temperature for human comfort… which is an utterly bizarre argument to make because it only makes sense to people who are used to Fahrenheit and have an intuitive sense of what 72F means to them.
I’m not entirely sure that you’re not just trolling now.

No negative numbers needed for most cases, 0-100 scale for the extremes people care about with relative “feels like” every 10 degrees (but realistically every 5 is distinguishable, even smaller amounts depending). Ez pz.
IDK why you’re so defensive about Celsius lol. It’s okay to admit when an SI unit has a poor application. Your ONLY defense for it is “well people can get used to it” which is the exact same reason I could say “well you could just get used to feet, inches, yards, miles, pounds, ounces, fluid ounces, teaspoons, tablespoons, etc” - it’s a shit argument for both.

Right, so…once again, your arguement is that you feel that Fahrenheit makes more sense, because that’s what you’re used to
The rest of what you said applies equally to any system of measurement.
I don’t understand why you’re so angry about this?

The entire point of this post is insinuating a superior system of measure. Jesus you actually are this stupid.
