0 degrees Fahrenheit is really freaking cold. 100 degrees Fahrenheit is really freaking hot.

0 degrees Celsius is fairly cold but not THAT bad if you're used to it. 100 degrees Celsius is dead.

0 degrees Kelvin is dead. 100 degrees Kelvin is dead.

I think it should be obvious which of these is the best metric for the weather.

The Rankine scale, obviously!

My view is that Fahrenheit gives greater precision than Celsius (32 to 212 is much wider than 0 to 100). Plus, there's no reason for everything to revolve around water. Water freezes and boils at different temperatures depending on a number of factors including elevation (it's 100 degrees at sea level, but a different temperature elsewhere) and salinity.

Really, it doesn't matter when you're talking about the weather as long as you know what scale you're talking about. If someone says it's 40 degrees outside here, I know what a 40 degree day feels like. If I'm in the UK and someone says 5 degrees, I'll probably figure out what that is too. No big deal.

Like how Thailand abandoned its alphabet because no one else can read it? Oh, wait. . . .

Laotians disagree.

...We're... discussing the best system of recording temperature? Where's that rain when you need it.

thats irrelevant. everyone knows, there's only two peoples in the world: American and non-American

[EricTheGreat12]

can we get back to the main conversation please ?

 

[Loaf Warden]

This has gotten both off-topic and asinine. May I suggest we get this conversation back on track before a moderator comes along and demands that we do?

 

[Evie94]

Should it also be obvious that talking about the weather is the most important thing we do with a thermal scale? Because it's not.

get back to the main idea plz ?!?!?!

He's in it. And he's going to introduce a Canada civ for the Civil War Scenario. Troof.

Yup, also Yugoslavia with city names entirely in Slavic for the main game. That and i saw it in a thread earlier.

Didn't check its legitimacy, just got excited

 

[LordProtector]

-_- lol

I love you.
