Oh, honey, yeah.
Yeah.

That’s a lot of words to say nothing.

Could just admit you’re a stupid cunt and move along
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 4 months ago:
No need to be a cunt mate.
Why use negatives at all? There’s a perfectly good temperature scale that largely doesn’t need negatives, is conceptually similar to the base 10 construction of other SI units, and is more precise than Celsius.
Negative C is absolutely common what the fuck are you talking about. Canada, Russia, the US, some deserts. Several countries experience regular highs in the 0Cs during winter months and therefore negative lows. Someone should get out more.

The entire point of this post is insinuating a superior system of measure. Jesus you actually are this stupid.
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 4 months ago:
“every reply”
No just that one and this one. Fuck off idiot.
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 4 months ago:
All measurements scales are interchangeable once you learn - that’s not the point of this particular thread of comments. It’s “what’s most useful comparatively given the SI penchant for base 10”. The answer isn’t a temperature scale that, for day to day human concern, is not -18 to 38 - that’s fucking stupid.

Saying that you didn’t read my argument because your point ignored it entirely is an insult? It’s abuse? LMAO.
Are you fucking stupid? <- that is an insult

They will defend Celsius being used for everyday weather reporting with their last breath with their ONLY fallback being “well you’re just used to fahrenheit durrrrrrr” as if that logic can’t be applied to every unit system on earth.
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 4 months ago:
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.

Tell me you didn’t read the argument without telling me you didn’t read the argument.
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 4 months ago:
What’s funny is the person who brought up arguments FOR Fahrenheit over Celsius that I hadn’t considered is actually a Brit.
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 4 months ago:
Brilliant response.
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 4 months ago:
That’s a poor argument, though, when the justification for utilizing volume, mass, and distance is because it is very “base 10”-y and is easily divisible and understood.
Celsius absolutely is shit for that.
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 4 months ago:
Honestly, temperature (in terms of weather preparedness, not cooking) makes WAY more sense with Fahrenheit. Largely the only temperatures you care about are 0 to 100 and generally you feel a good difference in temp every 10 degrees F.
Almost everything else I prefer metric. But that’s one where Celsius is just terrible.
