I mean, he’s not wrong. Celsius is about how hot water is. As someone who has lived half my life on each continent and uses Celsius for everything, I do still think that Fahrenheit is a better unit to use for weather (except 0 not being freezing) while Celsius is better for everything else. But using 2 units is dumb so Celsius it is.
They are indeed very wrong. Their percentage is gauged for a very specific climate, and is entirely subjective. You may personally and subjectively think it suits you, but it is not objectively a better unit to use for weather in the slightest. It would make no sense where I live for example.
Fahrenheit is about how hot water is, and how cold brine is, and how 180 is highly factorable. Celsius is about how hot water is and how 100 is nice in base 10.
@harmbuglar@piefed.social nope reading this is what having a stroke feels like …
i could have sworn it had something to do with the automobile
Percentage of what motherfucker?
“Hot” I believe
Get your ass outside at 0ºC and I guarantee you it’s 0% hot.
0 F is colder. 0C is 32F
Yeah, it was 7F when I walked the kids to school this morning. 0C would’ve felt like a nice spring afternoon.
32F is sweater weather.
i tell them i use a 100 hour clock. Day starts at 0 at ends at 100. They see how much better it is and they have an existential crisis. And then everyone clapped
Technically, 1000 beats per day - but yes, Swatch tried this back in ‘99:
Thanks, I hate that I love it
Fuuuuck. That’s the coolest thing I seen all day! I’m in. On .beat time now!
I loved it for removing the messy timezones.
I learned with that a lot of other problems are created, hehe.
Honestly it’s not the worst idea, the french have tried something like that during one of their revolutions.
Semi-relatedly, I’m salty they didn’t push for duodecimal numbers and base metric on that, it would incorporate the only good part of imperial system & 12-based time system, not only into measurements but also all other aspects of life.
Then they could make time more consistent too, maybe have like 10000 (20736 in decimal) “metric seconds” in a day (which would mean 1 “metric second” ≈ 4 “normal” seconds) and derive stuff from there (e.g. 100 “metric seconds” in a “metric minute”, 10 “metric minutes” in a “metric hour”, 10 “metric hours” in a “metric day”). Would be really quite neat.
Retard units go brr.
These threads always make me laugh. Maybe because of the way/where I was raised I really don’t care at all what anyone uses.
Posting your message wouldn’t be able without standardization, even the language you are typing is a standardization. Anyway i envy your simple world
Is reading this what having a stroke feels like?
You guys are too ignorant to see how full of shit OP is.
50F is not 50% hot, it’s cold. If your house was 50F you’d be saying “something is wrong with my HVAC”. You’d never heat to only 50, and you’d never cool that far. It’s cellar temperature (colder than a wine cellar, warmer than a root cellar).
70F is 50% hot. It’s a temp you’d cool to in the summer, and a temp you’d heat to in the winter.
100F isn’t 100% hot either, most people enjoy a hottub to be a little hotter.
Tldr: OP is wrong
50 degrees feels pretty fucking warm when i get out of the below zero walk in
This one (bath thermometer) goes to 111°F
When I’m running tho, 50 degrees is a medium amount of hot.
32 percent hot is water freezing tho? Idk… 1/3 hot seems like not the right amount for water freezing.
You clown, hot has been defined as 100°F since 1724. Therefore 50°F = 50% hot.
ITT: Water requires over double of all the hot just to boil.
all of the hot everywhere or just in this room?
It’s 212 % of the hot, how else can there be more hot than all the hot? It’s gotta be all the hot from at least the next couple of rooms, might be everywhere, depends on how much hot is hogged by the oven I’d wager.
that’s a whole lotta cents. i’m not paying for it.
The % is for humans not water. Anything over 100 is too hot.
Humans use water.
Celsius is the perfect system to describe how hot or cold it is, assuming you’re a water molecule.
People are mostly water, no? Makes perfect sense then.
Ugly bags of mostly water, yes.
Very judgemental of you to call me mostly water!
Found the microbrain.
Got 'em.
In that case, you should change the scale to match how hot/cold it actually gets outside. In many parts of the world, and even in North America, it regularly goes below 0F or above 100F.
“How hot it feels” is highly subjective. I would absolutely melt at 100F but feel fine at 0F, and nothing feels colder than those rainy windy days when it’s 5C outside.
but feel fine at 0F
Granted electricity is more complicated than a coat, but you absolutely need tools to feel “fine” at either temperature. Humans don’t survive at 0F without fire or clothes, whereas 100F just needs a water supply. In the modern world this translates to a shelter with heating vs AC
100F also needs a hat
Yes, I wear clothes to feel fine at 0F, and I also need to wear clothes to feel fine at 50F. 85F is unbearable, and I would seriously consider moving north, if it regularly got that hot where I live.
Wow people are so different. I grew up in Florida, without air conditioning until I was 25. 85F is so nice outside in the shade, and 80 in the sun is fine for working outdoors. In the shade, with a fan going, and something to drink, I am comfortable to mid-90s at least, just not moving so much, relaxing. Hot yoga at 103 is sweaty but not dangerous for me.
There are not enough clothes in the world to make me comfortable at 0 F, there is not gear for that, I don’t generate that much internal heat.
yeah, it’s kinda funny. comfortable begins at… 65? ends at 90. Then it’s Hat Season!tm and i can get another 15 degrees of comfort before appropriate clothes and good water bottles aren’t enough. On the other end, 65 begins layering weather, 40s bring sweater weather and scarf weather, and the 30s end comfortable with clothing. I could probably go lower, but you can’t get that kind of clothing here.
i guess my point is humans are remarkably adaptable creatures. also, at 0F you can bring coffee. you don’t gotta rely entirely on yourself.
Going above/below the scale just means that the weather is too hot/cold to do anything.
I do outdoors stuff even when it’s -20C but find it difficult to get anything done at 25C, never mind 37C.
Celsius is percentage boiling.
only at 1013,3mbar and if it’s boiling water
Ummm… doesn’t this description actually fit better with celsius? 0% hot is frozen. 100% hot is boiling. No?
When the weather is 100% hot outside how hot is it?
That depends entirely on who you ask.
But is it ever boiling water hot outside?
Not yet but we’re working on it.
But is it ever 100% hot outside? No matter how hot it feels, it can always get hotter.
It can’t really get much beyond 110 outside and if it does i don’t think you’d notice the difference much
There have been records of the weather being 56°C (134°F) outside.
Why would being able to notice the difference matter?
Never. Which is why it’s never 100% hot. At most it’s maybe 40% hot.
That’s why Fahrenheit is good for outdoor temps only humans care about and Celsius is good for everything else
You mean it’s good for outdoor temps only Americans care about. Here in the rest of the world, we have very different weather to you people, so we need a wider scale.
America has some of the lowest and highest temps in the world so I’m not sure how that means anything
I care a lot about when water freezes though. Ice, snow
It means sauna is ready
are you water?
Mostly, yes.
Just in case because this is the internet at the end of the day. Fahrenheit is not linked to a percentage of anything. It’s mostly arbitrary in terms of assigning a number scale to temperature and it’s linked to brine solutions and human body temperature.
