This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Unfortunately no, 1 bar (1 atmosphere) is 100,000 pascal
PSI is pounds per square inch and is roughly 14.5 PSI to 1 bar, and to me, way less intuitive than bar
Ah thanks.
PSI is a nice scale for tire pressure since most tires will be between 20-100 PSI. There's pretty much never a reason to use decimals, and 5 PSI is the most useful increment.
Bar is probably nicer for a bunch of other things, but for everyday use, PSI has a nice scale. That's also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celcius for weather, but Celcius for cooking and science.
