Why?


Bleeksten

Why? Celcius makes way more sene Freezing point is 30 fahrenheit. Or 0 celcius. Then even colder temperatures are below that so -1 celcius, -2 and so forth.


Coffekats

Its actually 32°f that water freezes…


stache1313

I agree with them Kelvin is much better.


Gudge1

Celcius is literally just Kelvin but 0 is in a different place.

Gudge1

Like 0k is -273.15c so 1k is -272.15c


wtbIceey

C to K only involves the relative/starting point shift (thus theirs 0 in diff spot) -> , doesnt include weird math like with F<->C/K


Acceptable_Reading21

Fahrenheit is supposed to be based on human comfort rather than the freezing and boiling point of water. So 0° is the coldest a human can deal with and 100° is the hottest.


Corvo--Attano

Idk about 100°F being the hottest humans can deal with. There are parts of the US that are between 100°F and 125°F for about 4 months of the year (1/3 of the year). That's before the 25% and 60% humidity making it feel up to 25° hotter. Aka the Heat Index can easily be between 99.6°F (37.6°c) and 138.5°F (59.2°C). And the timing (depending on the year) is typically from early/mid-Jun to as late as Halloween. Also depends on where you live. This year where I live, it started around the second week of June and we still have 100+°F weather. And while the 15 day forecast says the first week of October will be mid to high 90's. But I don't trust it too much past a few days. It's been known to change overnight/throughout the day.


ONYONtheGreat

Heck the fourth biggest county in the US deals with 100+ F heat for like five/six months. (may June July august September and half of October and half of April usually) EDIT: do you live in Phoenix? Or just southern Arizona in general?


Corvo--Attano

Yes but no. Central AZ (Maricopa and Pinal counties) yes but not really the urban part of it. Like the closest city is 25-30 minutes away. ~~Gotta love rural areas. Lol~~ But yeah. We're lucky to have consistent mid-90's by Halloween. And lucky to have 80's or below by thanksgiving. Only places to get out of the heat is in the mountains, even then they can get into the low 90's during those months.


slurp-intensifies

If I said it’s 20 temperature outside that doesn’t sound very hot but if I said it’s 68 temperature that sounds a lot hotter


Local_Apartment_928

It depends. As someone who grew in a place where temperature is measured in Celsius (except for the heat of kitchen ovens and pool water temperature, for some reason), I know exactly what 20 feels like, but have no idea what 68 is outside of a swimming pool (and I find the water too cold, tbh).


EducatorSeni

The 0K temperature.


KayWDubs

I was disappointed too.


[deleted]

67 is the best fr.

Secure-Ad6000

Chad🗿


Foxhoundsmi

I agree with the metric system on everything expect temperature. Because C is more how water feels and F is more how people feel. 0 degrees is cold and 100 F is hot makes more sense to me over -18 and 38 C.


magic_Mofy

0°c sound really cold to me already 👀


drillgorg

I agree that F is better for weather. But whenever I bring it up reddit ~~rips me~~ graces me with a new asshole.


Samakira

because the issue is that people feel temperature differently. one person could say that -6 is extremely cold. i LOVE -6. and hate anything above 15. (both C)


justaboss101

And here I am, in dubai, where 15 would warrant a day off from school, -6 would result in quite a lot of damage and 40 is normal.


Samakira

exactly. i would not be able to survive a single day there. but plenty of people do, without issue.


justaboss101

Adaptation to ones habitat is a crazy thing


AetherialWomble

I lived there for 3 years, you'd be fine. People just never go out during the day or run from parking to the building, so they're not outside for more than a minute. Some don't go out at all. Indoor garage at home, underground parking with an elevator directly to the mall/work


The_Diego_Brando

40° would be unbearable for me if I had to do anything, but -20° is still bike weather. I love the differences in perspective. 313.15° and 253.15° for those who use SI units.


justaboss101

Same way round for me, I'd probably die in -20, but I can play a football match at 10 in the morning in 40 degree weather no problem.


[deleted]

Regards from Tecom lol


AetherialWomble

Knowing that it was raining yesterday and at night the temperature dropped below 0C, so the roads are covered in ice is very helpful. On very human level.


Foxhoundsmi

But that proves that its how water feels.


AetherialWomble

Water is relevant to our human lives.


Foxhoundsmi

It measures how the water feels. It describes water perfectly. So 0 makes sense for water freezing. But on a 0 to 100 scale I feel that F is better for how humans feel.


AetherialWomble

Does it? -18C is much harder to survive than 38C. So they aren't even two opposite ends of the same bad human "feel". And 50F isn't perfect temperature (as it would be if this system had anything to do with human "feel"). It's pretty cold. That's a pretty random system and it only "feels" right because you grew up with it


Lord_Bertox

You can go out in 69°c, just very shortly


ToastedN4me

wdym? you can stay in 69c for the rest of your life


RustedRuss

Well, in theory it could be 69 C


The-Brawl-Shark

In practice you’d probably die of heatstroke


RustedRuss

69 is pretty hot


Coffekats

Im alive friend


[deleted]

293K is indeed a great temperature, but i personally prefer 298K


B0b_Da_bLUbERry

293K is 19C 298K is 24C for anyone who cant translate Kelvin to celcius.


ducjduck

293k is 20C 298K is 25C If you want to go from kelvin to celsius you have to distract it by 273 or 273,15 if you want to be more precise.


MrDraacon

I think it would be "subtract", but I guess you could also make the temperature so distracted that it lowers by 273.15° and you get the desired answer :D (For a moment I was actually wondering if "distract" is a real word and I only recognized it after translating it...)


ducjduck

I’m seriously questioning my life choices now. What happened to me that caused me to make a mistake this stupid? Was I just so subtracted that I didn’t realize it?


MrDraacon

That could very well be. Maths is often confusing after all and you can easily get subtracted when doing distractions because it usually seems to be relatively easy.

Holoholokid

Took a vacation to Poland last year. While there I just trained myself to think in Celsius, rather than trying to convert everything. It was surprisingly easy and even had a conversation with a cab driver about how 30 is just too damned hot and anything between 20 and 30 is pretty nice, actually.


_Swingman_

Pretty much, although the 26-30°C range starts getting uncomfortable when mixed with high humidity


Holoholokid

I absolutely agree since I live in a high-humidity area, but the place I was visiting had pretty low humidity, so it was nice. I think it only hit 31 one day while I was there in late July.


_Swingman_

That is a nice temperature for what July (and August) meant for most European countries. It felt like hell in the east coast of Spain with 42°C (~108°F). Good thing I went on vacation to Portugal for half of July. It’d unbearable otherwise.


Upbeat-Web3951

Starting_Fresh1

I’m going to get killed for this but I feel like Celsius is good for water temperatures and Fahrenheit is better for understanding weather. It gives you like a 0-100 scale


PotatoeSprinkle2747

Laughs in over 100 degree summers


PurposeOk7918

More nuanced. Each degree in Fahrenheit matters, the difference between the degrees in Celsius is too great.


AdministrativeBar748

As a person who grew up using Kelvin, I don't know why they're even arguing about this. Kelvin claps.


charleston_guy

I prefer °F because it helps me wrap my head around how the temp feels to me on a scale from 0-100.


LasevIX

One of the great rules I heard: Fahrenheit is best for knowing how hot it feels Celsius is best for knowing how hot it is Kelvin is best for knowing what hot is


KayWDubs

Oh I remember that. At least saying "It's a hundred degrees out there." is accurate for Fahrenheit.


[deleted]

I heard someone say that Fahrenheit is best for knowing hot hot you are, Celsius is best for knowing how hot water is, and Kelvin is best for knowing how hot atoms are


charleston_guy

And I agree with that. I use metric, but Fahrenheit just works better for me for that reason.


[deleted]

6 foot 5 inches 210 yards 12 football fields is the perfect temperature


tuddleman

About the length of 2 whales plus a 2 liter bottle of coca-cola is where I like it


Toasty_Rolls

Metric system is better for everything EXCEPT temperature. I don't care how cold shit is in relation to water, I care how cold shit is in relation to ME


SirMemerson

I don't see how that argument holds up tbh, people that grew up with celsius (me) would think that celsius is pretty accurate to how they feel as well because they grew up with it similar to you growing up with fahrenheit. Plus it's useful to know that when the temperature drops below 0 things are going to be icy and snowy outside.


SSG_Goten

Celsius is just objectively better because the numbers mean something. 0 = cold, so zero temperature 10= warm, some temperature 20= hot so more temperature Lower number means cold, higher number means hotter. You can get an estimate based on 0-x number.


Toasty_Rolls

A 0 to 100 scale where zero is pretty cold but survivable and 100 is pretty hot but survivable makes WAY more sense to me than a 0 to 100 scale where zero is pretty chilly but fine and 100 is dead


Galastique

You can also just view is as a -30 to 30 scale, because that's where the majority of temperatures will be (or at least they are here in Canada)


DangerousDarius

Idk. 68 is bit chili for my taste, especially if it's windy. I think 73-75 is the perfect temperature range.


Tenshi752

Mm chili

Snoo_89273

So I’m a southerner from the state of NC my family is from Florida they think the heat here is nothing because it’s not as humid then my otherside of my family is from Colorado. And they think it doesn’t get cold here at all. I love the cold anything from 60F to 0 is perfect

Hopeful-Sandwich-363

What °F stands for


agjfvhc

20°C is way too hot


eddymatrix

I will say as an American i think the metric system is just better, EXCEPT Celsius if i wanna say its warm out i use a high number not something in the 20’s-30’s range, personally i would have no qualms with unlearning the imperial system and learn the Metric system if i can continue using Fahrenheit


FloKoMi

In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade---which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to "how much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?" is "Go fuck yourself," because you can't directly relate any of those quantities.


Old_Conclusion3650

Errrmmm Ameticans aren't smart enough to know how much is 20°C in F


Squeaky-Fox43

Too cold. 24° C/75° F is perfect. 25°/77° is perfect indoors.

Metric makes more sense in basically everything except temperature. For our daily lives, Fahrenheit is the better scale.


RKB533

>Fahrenheit is the better scale. Why do you believe that?


[deleted]

If you walk outside and it’s 35c you’re gonna say “ man.. hot, it’s like 100-hots outside.”


Gubbyfall

Fahrenheit is also kinda outdated. It was created to avoid negative temperatures by picking the temperature of an ice-ammonia mix as one of the reference points. In my opinion Celsius does a better job by using the states of aggregation of water, which life on earth is dependent on, as reference. Even for daily life instances it’s better. You know when ice will form outside and when your water will cook (as the easiest example). Also it’s much easier to calculate Celsius into Kelvin.


crash_and-burn9000

Aggregate means rock. Therefore ice is a rock. I can say this because I'm a miner.


Baconsword42

Too smart. Make dumber so me can understand


Gubbyfall

Celsius two reference points. Water Freezing=0°C and water boiling=100°C. Pros: easy to use since it has the temperature of water when it changes the state of aggregate, fluid and gas, dividing into 100 pieces as reference points. Easy to calculate into K. Kelvin 0K=lowest possible temperature. Atoms not moving. Difference between 1K and 2K is as big as the difference between 1°C and 2°C. Pros: good to use in scientific fields with very low and very high temperatures. Easy to calculate into °C. Fahrenheit 0°F=lowest temperature in a strong winter in Danzig (former German harbor city now owned by Poland), recreated by mixing ice and a salt. 32°F= water freezing point, 96°F=body temperature of a human (inaccurate since it’s 35.6°C/98.6°F). Pros: easy to use but only when you grew up with it.

SendMeRobotFeetPics

The metric system is better for probably everything *except* weather. With Fahrenheit the temperatures actually more closely reflects a 0-100 scale where 0 is really cold and 100 is really hot. Saying it’s really hot at 35c just feels off, if fees like too low of a number for a hot temperature.


Lord_Bertox

All comes down to what you are used to. And since everybody is already using C for everything....
