Celsius is great for science (except space science) or cooking, but weather should be based on humans.

minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up26arrow-down4·edit-28 months agoFahrenheit isn’t “based on humans.” I can subjectively claim that 0°F is as unreasonably cold as 100°F is unreasonably warm; 30-90 is the only acceptable range. That’s arguably more arbitrary than 0-30.

minus-squareAttaxalotl@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoThat would have made medical sense, making Fahrenheit actually useful for certain applications, and then they fucked it up. Fahrenheit is just more intuitive to me, but that alone makes me prefer Celsius and then you add all of the other benefits on top. We really need to get on the metric system.
minus-squarenyctre@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·8 months ago-15f is my “freezing point” and anything above 75 is uncomfortably hot. See what you mean?
