Your country's temperature scale

Proudly F.

Come on, how can it be hot out when it's 30 degrees? That doesn't make any sense!

What is the internal body temperature at which people die? (I'm too lazy to look it up)

If it is near 30 then it is hot.

I hope that no country on Earth is using Kelvins.

And let me here sing Kumbaya and say that, having used both Celsius and Farenheit, they both work surprisingly well at telling you the temperature outside - because truth be told, I don't care about any decimal places in my temperature to know if I should put a jacket or not

That being said, m3triX Roolz!

 

[Narz]

I use F, it's stupid that's what people use in my country.

Just to weigh in on the "precision" argument, units cannot be inherently precise since they can be broken down into infinitely small increments.

Precision is the tolerance of the measurement taken, which is a function of the instrument used, not the units in which it measures.

 

[Kerozine]

You forgot to include the degree symbols.

°

When expressed to the same number of decimal places, a Fahrenheit reading will always be a closer approximation.

Yes, but it's not even single order of magnitude's difference, so it's negligable in any circumstance when you can't simply add more decimals.

Celcius is better because it's not used in the US.

 

[Verbose]

Celsius, one of Sweden's contributions to the modern world.

Thanks Sweden.

From now on I'm using Fahrenheit.

Does any nation use Kelvin? I thought Kelvin was just used by engineers & scientists.

 

[Tycho Brahe]

Celsius

Zero = frezingpoint of water.

Its the only one that makes any sense.

No, I included it so Perfection could vote. I expected him to want something silly.

Freezing point of PURE water at EXACTLY one ATMOSPHERE of pressure. That doesn't make sense to me.

 

[Tycho Brahe]

It works just fine in everyday use.

"Bellow zero? Put on the hat and gloves"

Pretty much the most important point on the scale. Makes sense to use it as starting point.

 

[Mowque]

its 4 degrees out.....

 

[sysyphus]

Then you should have included Rankine.

 

[Dachs]

Then you should have included Rankine.

Or Réaumur.

Is 32 that hard to remember?

Fun Fact: -40 is the temperature which means the same on both scales.

Maybe when God becomes annoyed at all these petty squabbles about temperature scale, He will punish us by establishing a permanent -40 temperature on the planet...
