You understand parts of the UK, an already small island relative to other nations, is on the same longitude as Siberia, right? The entirity of the UK is further north than every US state bar Alaska. Meanwhile the southern US states are close to the tropic of cancer and basically fall under tropical regions for both weather and diseases.
Lol more Eurofags die to heatstroke every year than the combined killings of unfiltered gun freedom in the USA, and that includes suicide and gang violence.
I like metric for weight, that's about it. Cooking with metric is a lot easier. Celsius is nonsense. There's very little real life use of having the boiling point being an anchor. Fahrenheit is anchored on real life daily measurements.
Fahrenheit is anchored on real life daily measurements.
Intentionally or not, you've just touched on why Imperial measurements survived 2000 years of empires. Because every single one was designed to be as relative to an individual person as possible, with no measuring tools required. You could trade with anyone civilized and they will understand exactly how much you required or were talking about
A mile was 1000 steps. 100 Fahrenheit is the point temperature becomes an active danger to human life as it's above our body temp. Retards like to mock the "foot" as though measuring things in body parts is backwards except that's literally where it came from; an average foot size. This was divided into twelfths because a twelfth offers the greatest amount of precise divisions without requiring tools (whole, half, third, quarter, sixth and eighth). You can't get a third of a meter without precisely measuring it.
The temperature is really the only metric part I don’t understand. Why would someone insist on using it over the clearly superior Fahrenheit? Nothing more than a middle finger to America I suppose.
It works better in purely scientific mediums, but Kelvin works even better than that in purely scientific mediums, so it's got some weird middle-kid energy.
Not a great idea in a base 10 number system. This is how you start to make mistakes that cause planes to fall out of the sky, all because the US must identify itself as "not Europe" in every possible way.
Science uses Kelvin anyway and for everyday uses, Celsius and Fahrenheit are both workable.
I'd argue that Fahrenheit degrees are too small though, nobody can tell the difference between 70°F and 71°F so why split them so finely? Just useless extra clicks on the car thermostat.
Celsius also has the advantage of having the 0° point at the level where roads get slippery, snow starts to fall, pipes start to freeze, etc. A negative Celsius number is clear sign that precautions need to be taken while 32°F is just another number, ain't nobody got time for that.
Cooking with weight is easier. Metric is shit. The Imperial system for volume is a doubling system, where we have stopped using a couple of the steps. Incredibly intuitive.
Length is the one that gets me. Twelve is divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6, all super useful. Ten is divisible by 2 and 5. You never need a fifth of something. Supposed, Euro lumber yards sell by the 1.2 meter length for this reason. It's a foot with extra steps.
For some reason this popped into my head: "Welcome to cooking class! For our honey mustard chicken recipe we require 200 cubic centimeters of chicken and 2.365 deciliters of water...."
meh, for fahrenheit you arbitrarily remember 70 is room temp, for celsius you arbitrarily remember it's 20-21. but then for fahrenheit freezing is 32 for some reason and boiling is 212... makes no sense.
Yes, but having boiling being only 100 degrees higher causes a much smaller gap of useful everyday temperatures. Most places rarely see temperatures below 0°F. We also know that going above 100°F are dangerously hot temperatures. Even with water temperature, we know that around 100°F is an enjoyable bathing temperature, but going above that starts to get dangerous. Drinking liquids slightly above that, etc.
At the end of the day, I guess it's all relative to what you're used to, but I prefer the temperature ranges in Fehrenheit. Plus. The whole scale was built for powers of 2, it made more sense in a less digital world.
I’ve been to places with no AC. I was in Helsinki when it was incredibly unusually hot and didn’t care for it, but more so because I was trying to escape hot weather. The locals absolutely loved it the entire city was a giant outdoor party.
The brits can piss off with this risk of life shit for it being 91 degrees. That’s the temp I get when it’s cooled down enough for me to go out and do yard work. Besides, most of their inhabitants being from lands of shit or sand should be used to it, right?
It's all about what you're adapted to, genetically and otherwise.
Northern European heat lovers are a vocal minority. While it's rare and novel, it's disgustingly humid, buildings are built to keep warmth in and the sun is beating down on top of it all for 18+ hours a day.
Sand people can handle the heat but not the humidity. They also start to acclimatize to the cold when living in the north, though not to the extent of natives.
Southerners may like gardening in a 33°C/91°F sauna but need to wear winter parkas in perfectly nice 10°C/50°F barbecue weather and can't drive on snow to save their lives.
Don't get me wrong. I fucking hate the heat. But I'm not going to die in those temperatures. I'm much more sorted somewhere cold, feel like I'm in my element even though I've always lived in the warm.
Before you go too crazy about driving in the snow, I'd be sure to have actually experienced it in a warm climate place. You're not wrong a ton of people can't drive in it because they are idiots. Having driven in it in both places, it's a totally different world between either having prepared roads/prepared cars and trying to drive around on summer tires somewhere that the nearest snow plow is 500mi away. Everyone that's never dealt with both totally don't get that. The terrible Indian drivers suck in the brighest and most perfect of summer days regardless. They are just incompatible with the thought of driving on a road.
Kind of hard when their roads back home are just lanes of dirt with no lane markings. Along with their sub 90 IQ on the high end. Just goes to show our forefathers were right when they said Africans and other Non-Whites are not compatible with civilised societies. If they cannot make a livable country on their own, how can they make ours better?
We Brits have a reputation for complaining about the weather, but... it's literally just normal temperatures outside. Maybe a few degrees warmer than usual for May?
I've seen heatwave-rated temperatures, and people come into my place of business wearing a beanie and a hoody. They ain't there to steal, it's a service-based industry. On the opposite side of the spectrum, some come in wearing fur. But I'm sweating through a T-shirt 'cause corporate is like "it ain't june yet, no AC for you", and just looking at these people. They're the reason there's so many heat exhaustion cases.
Bongs don't have air conditioning and they're weirdly proud of that fact, despite constantly dying to heat stroke.
Oh, and the windows don't open all the way because the government is afraid people will jump and suicide out of them.
Because we don't need it.

"We don't need it" the fuck you don't haha

Celsius is such a shit scale for outside temperatures. Just use Fahrenheit for weather and Celsius for chemistry.

It's just fractions. Idiots don't know how to do fractions, so they use metric instead.

Metric is better, but not for temperature. Fahrenheit should be used in all but scientific applications.

Dealing with fractions of an ounce is annoying compared to whole grams.
For some reason this popped into my head: "Welcome to cooking class! For our honey mustard chicken recipe we require 200 cubic centimeters of chicken and 2.365 deciliters of water...."
Exactly. I can see Germans being ok with that. You think Mediterraneans give a shit past tenths?

Celsius is anchored on the freezing point being 0.

Never in my entire life have I thought ''I really need the nuance to express halfway between 22°C and 23°C''.
Kelvin
I thought this was a map of the Pakis.
The dark color in the south and east is poo.
