Do britbells call the quarter pounder a ".1 kg with cheese sauce"¿

>>5296214
>has never seen Pulp Fiction

>>5296227

>france is britain

I'm french and we call it "le pain entrelardé submersible".

>>5296214
Fun fact: in Japan, the Quarter Pounder with Cheese is still called the Quarter Pounder with Cheese, but it's stylized in katakana. At least, that's what my Japanese teacher from high school told me.

I know in Canadaland where I live we still use some imperial measures for stuff. I know cups and teaspoons for measuring and everyone I know weighs themselves in pounds and their height as feet and inches. I have no idea how much I weigh in kilos.

>>5296199
no, they just call them 30 cm at Subway in Mexico.

>>5296347
This is outrageous if you don't know your weight in kg

Its called a 30cm sub.
The small one is 15cm.

>>5296227
the royale with cheese

>>5296377
I don't know it in Stone either. What newspeak measuring system should I know next?

>>5296214
>he thinks quarter pound is one kilo

I don't call it nothing, because for the same price I can get 200g beef burger in a good joint.

They're called €5 footlongs here in Germany

>>5296347
Why won't anyone answer the question? What do you fucking call it?

in poland its just a 15cm or 30cm

How many feet in a foot?

It's a footlong in australia

>>5296211

>>5296349
wat? u lie. Post proof

>>5297793
So they don't even use the word Footlong marketing or menus?

In Germany we call it a 304.8 millimeterlong.

>>5297752
>he thinks, ".1kg" equals 1kg.

clap

Subway 'footlongs' are a brand name, not a measurement, so it's the same name globally.

Tbf in the UK we still use both metric and imperial.

We still use Pints, Miles, Yards etc, but also use CM, Grams and Tonnes.

they're called 30 cm. I know, shocker.

>>5298028
You also use the stone measurement for weight. Even Amerifags can't figure out Britbong measurements.

All you need to do is look at metric thermometers to prove metric is purely random and totally nuts, with no sense of granularity.

Fahrenheit:
0° - Damn cold as fuck
32° - freezing point
50° - a tiny bit balmier, don't need the heavy coat
70° - nice spring day
95° - middle of summer, hot as fuck
212° - boiling point, enjoy your third-degree burns

Celsius:
0° - freezing point
31° - nice spring day
32° - You're probably in Nigeria in July
33° - approximate surface temperature of the sun
100° - unknown: a temperature never knowingly reached anywhere in the universe since a femtosecond after the Big Bang

tl;dr Fuck Celsius.

>>5298319
And your body temperature is about 37°C.

>>5298319
>95°
>hot as fuck
Where the hell do you live?

>>5298319
you must be retarded.

oh wait, just american.

>>5298319
>middle of summer

>>5298319
Fahrenheit is just about perfect for describing earthly weather. Celcius is ok for cooking but is really shitty in most applications

>>5298681
Unless you live in the middle of a shitty desert, 95F is considered hot as fuck

>>5298741
this is accurate
95F is already cooled off in the desert

>>5298689
you would have to be nearly retarded to cling to Celsius for use in weather, its awful for that function while Fahrenheit works very well with the vast majority of weather falling between 0-100 while using the entire range throughout the year. Celsius bunches up normal temperatures into an unreasonably small range requiring you to use go to the tenth of a degree to give as much information ad Fahrenheit does. Plus the idea of negative temperature is fucking dumb, and while they both do this, Celsius requires it for nearly half the year while Fahrenheit only requires it for the coldest week or so a year

>>5298791
once america falls you will sing another tune

>>5296202
Is this kind of thing still funny to people?

>>5298825
facts are facts regardless of what government's jurisdiction you live in. Celcius is simply a bad system and you should feel bad for using it

>>5298319
31 degrees celcius, nice spring day?!?! You mean hot summer day

>100? - unknown: a temperature never knowingly reached anywhere in the universe since a femtosecond after the Big Bang

Its boiling point you idiot...

>>5298870
pretty sure it was like a joke guy


but still using the boiling point of water as a reference when discussing terrestrial weather is beyond retarded

>>5298876
Well still better than 0 and 100 meaning nothing...

>>5298881
no, its not better. It wasn't designed as such but 0-100F very closely aligns to normal weather experienced on earth making it an excellently useful system

All systems where 0 is not actually 0 are arbitrary, tying it into the physical properties of pure water at sea level for some reason is not in any way better than the equally arbitrary definition of F, it just so happens that F works way better for normal uses

>>5298886
shhhhh
your autism is showing

>>5298894
yeah, being educated and not clinging to antiquated systems makes one autistic

>>5298896
>>>5298894
>yeah, being educated and not clinging to antiquated systems makes one autistic

Not being able to understand that celcius actualy means something compared to farenheit is not being educated you amerifag.

>>5298910
>celcius actualy means something
what value is meaning something, when that thing is arbitrary and irrelevant. Fahrenheit is simply better for weather regardless of whatever spiritual meaning you derive from Celsius

>>5296199
I would CRUNCHA muncha on that

>>5298910
Using a system because of its emotional meaning to you instead of the more functional system makes you very much seem uneducated. The fact that its based off of the boiling point of water being 100 is all you need to know about how irrelevant its "meaning" is

The ideal scale to use for measuring something are either -99 - 99, or 0-99. In a system where negative values are nonsensical such as weather you want to use a scale that distributes the vast majority of use amongst that range, not limiting it to. only 25 or so degrees because of some odd attachment to the boiling point of water

>>5298827
As long as they still make you butthurt they are :^)

>>5298929
Centigrade makes more sense - since water freezes at ~0'C, you know when to expect ice outside

and it's not like you have to absolutely use only 0'C and 100'C as the only reference points in the whole scale, you need to memorize most 'common' temperatures for various situations anyway, like 36.6'C being the average healthy human's temperature, or ~22'C being an average room temperature. it doesn't really matter what has a round 100 value anyway, since everything else is going to be off and uneven in comparison

>mfw arguing about centigrade/fahrenheit on 4chan

>>5298979
>Centigrade makes more sense - since water freezes at ~0'C, you know when to expect ice outside
Pure water at seas level does, but we never are dealing with pure water in weather and only occasionally are at sea level. There is absolutely no logical reason to make the freezing point of pure water 0, it just makes no sense and creates unwieldy negative temps for almost half the year when the entire concept of negative temperature is silly

>>5298979
Its ideal to spread normal use from 0-100 in a system that does not have intrinsic negative values, to maximize the amount of information you can state with 2 digits, using celsius you are forced to use a 3rd digit if you want any sort of precision

>>5299001
We all know Kelvin is the one true system to measure temperature. Neither celsius or fahrenheit provides any real benefits over the other, it's just a matter of being used to certain system.

However, since kelvin is used in all the sciences and celsius in the rest of the world, it seems to me retarted to cling being the unique snowflake of measuring systems.

Murricans you do realise that one day you're going to convert to SI-system, why not do it now?

> all those centigrade farenheiht posts
Do you even Kelvin brah ?

>>5298702
67 Fahrenheit in December? What kind of hell do you live in?

>>5299031
>Neither celsius or fahrenheit provides any real benefits over the other
see >>5299006
Fahrenheit is very much beneficial over Celsius

>>5299031
>it seems to me retarted to cling being the unique snowflake of measuring systems.
It was retarded to ever switch to celsius. And the uses for Kelvin are so very much different than the uses of F in weather that conversion would almost never be necessary

>>5299038
bullshit, celsius is better

>>5299045
F is more functional for weather, Celsius may well be better for cooking but weather is the main time people talk about temperature

>>5299031
>2014
>still using seconds, minutes, hours system

ishygddt

>>5299052
Trust me, there is no practical disadvantage using celsius for describing weather. It's entirely what you're used to.

>>5299056
>Trust me, there is no practical disadvantage using celsius for describing weather.
Its is extremely impractical to limit weather usage to such a small scale. Requiring you to use 3 digits for a decent amount of precision and common negatives is very impractical neither are problems in the inherently superior Fahrenheit system.

You doesn't seem to be any argument in favor of Celsius besides tradition/emotion

>>5296211
>add chips
murrrrrrrrrrrica

>>5299053
If the world started using base10 time measurement I'd gladly convert. The point is to have same system everywhere. Also while I appreciate the consistency of kiloseconds and the like I can't think of any benefits of it in science or everyday life.

>>5299052
Celsius is better for weather.
When it's cold, you say "below zero"
When it's not that cold, you say "over zero"
When it's nice, you say "over ten"
When it's warm, you say "over twenty"
When it's hot, you say "over thirty"
When it rains, you say "it rains"

>>5299077
being able to reference 10s in Ferenheit is way better than that dude
below 0 is fucking cold
0-10 is pretty cold
10-20 chilly
20-30 normal winter
30-40 cool
40-60 light jacket weather
60-70 nice
70-80 pretty good
80-90 hot
90-100 holy shit
100+ fuck this im going inside

>>5299064
Decent amount of precision is entirely arbitrary, personally I think that celsius is accurate enough for everyday life. Also I can't understand how big of a deal that "more likely needed" third digit is. If you really need to be accurate with your temperatures even two digit fahrenheit won't be enough.

However the only argument celsius needs is that practically the rest of the world uses it as is the case with the SI-system in general. Wouldn't want to lose any more Mars orbiters because of different measurement systems.

>>5299077
>cold
>below zero celsius
Minnesotan here. No.

To us, zero celsius or even ten below is jacket weather.

>>5299119
lets put it this way, a scale of 0-99 allows the maximum amount of precision in a positive number that 2 digits allow. By limiting you normal use to a fraction of that scale you are making one degree less precise and your system less robust and inferior, Its just not a useful thing to do and you should feel bad for advocating it

>>5299122
Below zero is the temperature when you get patches of black ice on the roads.
Stop pretending.

>>5299119
>However the only argument celsius needs is that practically the rest of the world uses it
That makes absolutely no difference in your typical weather forecast. Weather forecasts are local productions. What system other people far away use is irrelevant. Celsius is bad system, and the rest of the world was dumb for adopting it. If the rest of the world jumped off a cliff would you follow?

>>5299142
Black ice doesn't require me to wear a heavier coat, it requires me to drive safer.

Stop being an imbecile.

>>5299138
if you absolutely need to be this precise you are using kelvin.

>>5296922
>metric
>newspeak

>>5299154
>Black ice doesn't require me to wear a heavier coat,
you don't need to wear a fucking heavy coat until it is well below the freezing point of water. The freezing point of water does not correspond to a coat type change

>>5299157

Not kelvin. Decimals.

>>5299157
no, a difference a degree kelvin is equal to the one degree celsius. When you are using Kelvin you are using more digits making up for this. In non technical weather use its best to keep it to 2 digits

When your best argument is "everyones doing it" you know you have a shitty stance

>>5299167
this was my first post, my argument is not "everyone does it" it's "your argument is retarded because for all practical you don't need to be this precise"

>>5299195
Saying, fuck it, this way isn't completely terrible is likewise bad logic.

There is absolutely no compelling reason to limit yourself as Celsius does. Why not use a better system?

What would happen if Barack Obama said "let metric system be the official system of the USA" ?
> inb4 everyone says he is a commie

>>5299215
Because we don't know when water freezes in Fahrenheit.

>>5299167

The arguments for celsius are it's usability in science, easy conversion with kelvin and it's use everywhere in the world, yes that's a reason to use it. Some might like that 0 and 100 are based on water freezing and boiling but again that is just as arbitrary as your argument that 2 decimal precision is all that matters. If you want to save even more space define a temperature system where common range of temperature is defined between 0 and 9.

Why does it matter what measuring system people far away use? Because there are no people "far away".
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter

>>5299215
it's not better in any practical way, why change?

you have to keep in mind that I am not arguing for america to go Celsius, but only calling you a retard.

>>5299230
>Because we don't know when water freezes in Fahrenheit.
Its makes little sense to make the freezing point of water as some sort benchmark

>>5299231
>it's usability in science
Celcius and Ferenheit are qequally ueful in science.

Science uses kelvin, and occasionally Celsius by convention, but Celsius has not intrinsic value here

>>5299218
The rest of the world would like him even more, republicans and the like minded even less. Sensible people would understand that it's worth the inconvenience in the long run.

>>5299231
the 2 digit thing is not arbitrary, its based on practicality

>>5299235
The true retards are those who ever thought basing a system on the boiling point and freezing point of water was ever a good idea, and the uneducated folk maintaining use such a system

>>5299250
metric is good, celsius is bad

>>5299247
They're not. Celsius is somewhat usable because a difference of temperature in celsius equals the same difference in kelvins. This isn't true for fahrenheit.

>>5299267
any fucking scientist can easily convert something, so thats not meaningful. Thats only useful for school children

>>5299272
Sure can. "Any fucking weatherman" can also put a third decimal in place if that really is needed. Also celsius being useful for school children is quite a powerful argument for it.

>>5299267
it's this way because kelvin was based on Celsius, had Celsius not existed the conversion would be this easy from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
>>5299272
no true scottman...
>>5299260
Faraneith is based on equally arbitrary measures.

>>5299299
requiring an extra digit makes something unwieldy, there is a very practical reason to spread a scale out from 0-99, there is no compelling reason to oddly go from about -10 to 35, it just makes no sense

also what school children need to convert from kelvin?

>>5299260
Because basing a system on "wow it's cold" and human body temperature is more retarded.

>>5299309
>Faraneith is based on equally arbitrary measures.
True, as was already stated. The value of Fahrenheit comes from its practicality, people backing Celsius were trying to claim it being based on water's boiling point was somehow good despite its utter lack of practicality

>>5299316
>Because basing a system on "wow it's cold" and human body temperature is more retarded.
not when you are describing weather

an ideal weather system would have 0 and 100 being the limits of normal weather. We obviously do not have an ideal system, but Fahrenheit is way the fuck closer than Celsius

>>5299320
we already argued over that and I thought the consensus was that it doesn't make any sort of difference through real world application.

Hey guys, what's going on in this thread?

>>5296199
I'd assume it's called a Footlong everywhere, as a Big Mac is still called a Big Mac in Japan, albeit with a funny accent.

>>5299107
what if it's colder than 0'F?
you going to shift your whole scale because it suddenly needs negative numbers? or do you deny the fact that it can be colder than 0'F?

>>5299328
I can assure you that no celsius user ever has felt the need to more accurately describe weather in two digits. Even if that were the case the fact that celsius is used everywhere and that it's better for science diminish fahrenheit's better two digit accuracy.

>http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/mar/11/europe-trade-talks-cheese-back-parmesan-feta

Apperently they call shit generic ass-cheese "parmesan" in the US. Apperently they don't even have rules regulating the ingredients well enough for it to be called parmesan even if it were made in Parma, because the FDA doesn't diffirentiate between rennet made from calfs and rennet made by fungi and GM bacteria.

If you're going to counterfeit our food have the decency to at least try to make a quality product.

> tfw wondering all the evening if the temperature will stay over zero so you know you can drive safely home

The Americans will never know that feel.

>>5298791
lol no. I've been living in America for a year and still can't see why Fahrenheit is still used. If you think a 50 degree granularity is not enough to describe the range of weather you must be very sensitive indeed.

0 is perfect as an indicator of coldness. Americans keep going on about how it's below freezing to describe the temperature all the time. That's because it's a pretty important milestone to determine coldness. Why not have a system that has this built into it. You can just go "oh look temperature drops below zero, must be cold"

Simple and easy to follow.
>-20 to 0 = Inhumanly to Freezing cold
>0-15 = Cold to cool
>15-25 = Cool to Room temp
>25-35 = Room temp to Warm
>35-45 = Hot to Inhumanly hot

Unless you're completely obsessed with weather this is the more intuitive system.

>>5299333
>consensus was that it doesn't make any sort of difference through real world application.
if by you repeating that makes it a consensus, sure, but thats nonsense

>>5299342
>what if it's colder than 0'F?
yeah, its not an ideal scale, just a bit better than the currently used alternatives.

But there is no need to base it on records, just base it on normally attained temperatures. Remember this is all about practicality, not absolute extremes, there is no need to absolutely limit it, just make the 0-100 marks the practical limits you will face in normal human experienced weather would be ideal

>>5299345
its certainly not better for science, you are deluded by you adherence to tradition

>>5299354
Place designation regulations in food are the dumbest shit ever

>>5299383
>0 is perfect as an indicator of coldness
The freezing point of water is not relevant to describe what humans feel as cold, the point where humans feel uncomfortably cold is a bit below the freezing point of water

>>5298929
Water is the single most important compound for life. Our bodies are 80% water. That's the reason below freezing temperatures can cause frostbite.

And anyway the Kelvin system is closely related to Celsius. Just shit the origins and you have the best system humans have created to measure temperature. Whereas Fahrenheit to Kelvin conversion would require a calculator or a pen and paper for most people to calculate.

>>5299383
>20 unhumaly fucking cold

Are you black or something?

0F is just about the mark between where it goes from cold, to fucking cold, 20F is rather mundanely cold

>>5299406
>Our bodies are 80% water.
Not pure water, the definition of Celsius uses pure water, something almost never found on earth

>>5299406
In an ideal world we would use Fehrenheit for weather and every day usage, and Rankine for science.

Kelvin has no benefit to rankine other than being the current convention

>>5299404
why would you base a scale on something as subjective as 'feeling' temperature? now THAT is retarded and impractical

thinking of 0'C as 'feels cold' is equally retarded, it's not about how cold it feels, it's about what is going on with the environment (ie. water freezes)

>>5299421
>why would you base a scale on something as subjective as 'feeling' temperature?
No one ever proposed such a thing, just making an observation

>>5299421
but water in the environment does not freeze at 0C

>>5299419
>Kelvin has no benefit to rankine other than being the current convention
That is the benefit.
>>5299415
Impure water will freeze at -2 or -3 at most. It's still a standard that most people can relate to.
>>5299404
Water in liquid form is the single most important factor for life. Northface jackets that make you comfortable at -15 won't change that. If the freezing point of water is so arbitrary why is it that our entire efforts to find extra terrestrial life are focused on finding liquid water?

You guys are acting as if the freezing point of hydrogen sulfide was the measure.

Just leaving this here, so that you know that wind is important too.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_temperature

>>5299446
>Impure water will freeze at -2 or -3 at most. It's still a standard that most people can relate to.
actually 0F was originally based on the freezing point of brine, which is well below -2 or -3C

Basing it on the freezing point of human cells might make a little more sense, but the point of pure water has little direct relevance

>>5299446
The problem isn't so much the use of the freezing point of water as the inclusion of the boiling point of water, something that does not occur on the earth's surface outside of volcanoes

The inclusion of any negative numbers is inherently dumb, but if we have to we might as well minimize when we need them by setting 0 as something that is not often surpassed

>>5299450
I think everyone knows wind and humidity effect how it "feels"

>>5299459
>The inclusion of any negative numbers is inherently dumb
not making use of negative/positive numbers is inherently dumb

>>5299455
Different solvent will effect the freezing point differently. 90% of the freshwater found in nature will freeze in +-2C of 0.

The freezing point of different cells will also vary a lot. Why not base it off the most important compound for life in its purest form.

>>5299459
Negative temperatures don't have anything inherently wrong with them. Absolute zero is so far removed from the temperatures where life can survive it makes no sense to use it conventionally. Celsius can be used conventionally as well as scientifically don't you think that's good for the scientific temperament of the populace.

>>5299468
you misunderstand, negative numbers are great when they actually have meaning, but negative temperature is not a thing (well it kind of is, but thats another subject and does not occur on earth) so it is inherently dumb to use fake negative numbers

>>5299473
The problem of using the freezing point of water is very minor toward the simply retarded decision to use the boiling point

>>5299566

>fake negative numbers
all numbers are fake, abstract constructs of a human mind

>>5299573
at least the scale has consistency since it uses two characteristic points of the same substance (water)

and it's coarse enough to perceive differences in temperatures between only a few degrees, ie. 19'C is noticeably colder, and 25'C is noticeably warmer than 22'C in terms of room temperature, difference being only 3 degrees

Celsius is more useful for things like cooking and chemistry, where the larger numbers have more use.
Things like weather and human body temp, the finer gradient and lower range has more utility.

For example, Human body temperature is average 37 degrees in celsius. It is a dangerous fever at 39.4. That doesn't seem like that big a distinction. Compare to the fahrenheit readings, of 98 and 103.

Same for weather. In weather, the functional range in fahrenheit basically stretches from 0 to 100. There will be occasional outliers, in the hottest summer locations, or the coldest winters, but for the most part, weather will fall along that range. in celcius, that range includng the outliers is from around -25 to 45. Which comes off as super arbitrary.

I'm totally okay with fahrenheit being a term of art measurement, used for literally nothing but describing weather temperatures. It's otherwise a pretty useless scale, on the order of gauge and caliber readings.

>>5301030
again
how is a scale based on a subjective definition ('cold to hot') less arbitrary than a scale based on water properties?
how is a finer grained scale better for approximated/judged temperatures than a coarser grained scale?
how is a 0-100 range of any use when every place on earth won't utilize the full range, and often go out of it?

Canada here, we still call it a footlong. believe it or not we're still aware of imperial and we're allowed to describe things with it.

We do not have a footlong here in Italy, and frankly I don't mind having it. I wouldn't know how I could eat one of those sandwiches, if I had one.
Actually, it's kinda gross.

>>5296349
in germany too. it´s not called "the 30 cm" but it´s essentially the bigger of two sandwich choices and labeled to be 30 cm long. i don´t know what OP´s problem with the metric system is though. it´s just so simple and logical.

>>5298319
31° is a hot summer day; we even had 40°(yes, there was a mess with helping kids and old men, but whatever).
100° is boiling point of the water at 1 atm.

Aaand I even understood the joke, but it isn't very funny, my friend.

>>5301072
oops i was wrong it is still called footlong

Germanfriend, can you please explain to me the benefit of having a 30cm long sandwich?
I cannot even imagine it.

>>5298319
>31° C - nice spring day

20° = nice spring day
25° = nice summer day
>30° = fucking heatwave

>>5301083
25° is still a somehow nice spring day, my friend.
30° is the threshold of a summer holiday. At least here in Italy, obviously.

>>5301087
I'm a bong, we can't cope with anything above 25° without being scalded by the sun (when it deigns to shine).

>>5301083
30C is no where near heatwave.

Screw those things, I wish I still lived near a publix.

>>5296214
Brits use metric and imperial depending on what we're talking about. We use quarter pounders and foot longs, but you might buy a 500g bag of potatoes or something. We think of heights in feet and then use metres for other things. I don't know why

>>5301119
because certain parts of each system are better than the others.

>>5301090
I put on track pants when it dropped below 25C last night.
If it drops to 15C then I have to break out my feather doona.

>>5301113
It is.

>>5301113
not really, it's "hot summer" day but you don't reach "heatwave" until at least 34-35°

>>5301090
Serious? I set my aircon to 26
>>5301141
Pretty much accurate besides 40c

>>5299383
0 is light jacket weather.

When we hit 0, I cried out "Spring has come at last"

If you spend 4 months constantly below 0, then the scale needs to be changed.

>>5301059
around here my temperatures go from -10 to 110. So Yeah I do use the whole range

>>5301080

>>5299064
Use 3 digits for the weather?
If you think that someone needs to describe the weather in 0.1*C (0.18*F) increments for the weather then you're deluded.

The only thing you need that much accuracy for is science, which you would have to be an idiot to attempt in imperial units.

>>5298319
32° - totally random number for a freezing point
50° - don´t knowcoat
70° - don´t care
95° - this is getting ridiculous
212° - still going? man your system is fucked beyond repair

Celsius:
0° - freezing point (nice and clean)
15° and sunny - nice early spring day, enough for drinking a warm beverage outside while still wearing a normal jacket

18° - 25° normal spring day.in the evening you´ll need a jacket though

31° - nice day for being at the lake, swimming nd drink a few beers

32° - totally fine

33° - still fine

35° + - to hot for me but very acceptable for some
100° - at this point water starts to boil when at normal air pressure.

fixed that for you.

>>5300885
Git gud indeed. Walking on slippery surfaces is mostly a matter of using the right technique.

Shift weight between feet at close to the right angle to reduce slip.

Work on your balance to recover from slips that you can't fully avoid. You *will* slip, so good recovery is key.

Liberia and Myanmar don't need metric, so why should the USA?

>>5301194
Actually Fahrenheit is based on the freezing point of alcohol. Alcohol freezes at 0 F.
0-10 F: stay inside unless you wanna be a snowcone
10-20 F: its really, really, really cold
20-30 F: its freezing tits
30-40 F: wear a coat because its winter
40-50 F: wear a sweater because its fall
50-60 F: warmish spring day
60-70 F: summer day
70-80 F: warm summer day
80-90 F: very hot summer day

Celsius is just as arbitrary as Fahrenheit. But with Fahrenheit, you can gauge temperatures pretty well.

I mean, in Celsius, for example, 16 degrees is the lowest setting on many air conditioners but 20 degrees is a warm summer day. Then, the difference between 24 degrees and 28 degrees is almost staggering.

If you care more about the meterstick than how to use it, it's a safe bet that you're in high school and underage and not all that smart, honestly.

>>5301213
>the difference between 24 degrees and 28 degrees is almost staggering
It's the difference between 75 and 82F.

It's all arbitrary. For something as imprecise as weather having smaller units isn't a big deal at all.

>>5301223
That's what I am saying. I know that if you convert it to fahrenheit, the difference is lear. However, it's more difficult to gauge a day with celsius than fahrenheit because smaller differences mean more. I mean, you can feel the difference between 16 and 17 celsius if you stand in front of your AC.

A one degree F difference isn't noticeable so you can group days into chunks of 10 F.

For the record, I grew up in a Celsius country but I can appreciate why F is still used.

>watch cooking video on YouTube
>"And now you should cut them into fairly small chunks. Half an inch maybe? Better make it a just a couple of millimeters"

I was flabbergasted that people using the Imperial system still use the metric one when it comes to precision or smaller values. Why even bother with the Imperial system?

>>5301239
Because with very small measurements we don't really have another system in place and all we learned in that instance was metric - I remember when I was learning measurements in elementary we learned about 1/4 inches and so on, but they also addressed centimeters and millimeters so we just went with the one that was easier to use.

You shouldn't really even be using inches for that. You should be using things like "thumb's width"

You cannot be this autistic. no one can.

> Actually Fahrenheit is based on the freezing point of alcohol. Alcohol freezes at 0 F.
> implying -114°C = 0°F

If you don't have a pure ethanol, the freezing point is higher.
In Celsius, the formula of the freezing point is :
-[(0.42 x A) + (0.04 x E) + 0.2, where A is the percentage of ethanol, and E is the alcohol gravity in Plato scale (use google).

For beer, it is around -2°C, and for vodka, it is around -23°C.

Actually, 0°F is the lowest temperature Fahrenheit could cool brine.

>>5301306

You should have read on.
>or smaller values

>this thread
Feet and inches are debatably useful to a degree for colloquial references ("a few inches long"), but using anything else imperial is retarded, probably most of all temperature. I have never encountered a situation where I've had to specify the temperature to a decimal point as argued above, and if for some reason I did (apparently I'd have to if I encountered an American in the wild, 22 degrees could mean FUCKING ANYTHING) I'd just say "... and a half" which has more precision than degrees Fahrenheit sans decimal anyway.

Why use metric or imperial? Cooking has plenty of words for differently sized cuts.

>>5301759

I don't know.
But let me assure you, the same happens when it comes to sawing or other activities that require measurements that go below an inch

Freezing point is irrelevant, you could run errands with only a light sweater at freezing. <20 is when it starts to get uncomfortable, and 0 is when you stay the fuck inside.
