The temperature measurement is true though. F describes the temperature scale that humans interact with much better than C does.

Only because you grew up with it.

I have only had the temperature described to me in celcius so Fahrenhite makes no sense to me.

What doesn't make sense to you. You can think of F as a percentage of how hot it is. 0 is 0% hot, meaning cold as fuck. 100 is 100% hot, hot as fuck. Things in the middle are are in the middle. 85 is 85% hot.

Lol can't tell, is this 85% stupid or closer to 100?

Are percentages too hard for you?

[–] ThisOne 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not nearly as hard as you are working to represent F in chat about personal preference

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I WILL die on this hill. But preference is just what you do with the information, not the usefulness of the scale. 0-100 is the scale. Whether you wear jackets at 50-60 or 60-70 doesn't mean that the scale isn't objectively better.

[–] ThisOne 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yea I think I do agree with you that the C scale is objectively better.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Cope harder. F is objectively better for environment. C is objectively better for scientific calculation

You're objectively dumb
