      I’d take offense if I could; but you’re right… I think… idk, I can’t think. I’m not upset, you’re upset!

      What’s an up set?

    I just use

    30°C is hot, 20°C is nice 10°C is cold, 0°C is ice.

    Obviously that won’t apply everywhere, but in milder climates it works pretty good.

      It’s the best way to think about it because if you’re always doing the calculation in your head you still always think in Fahrenheit first. Just get the feeling for Celcius instead of trying to shoehorn a worse system in (as a user of said worse system myself).

    Paraphrasing an old meme:

    Fahrenheit - how hot humans feel
    Celsius - how hot water feels
    Kelvin - how hot atoms feel

      How measuring devices see it:

      | Celsius | How hot humans feel | | Fahrenheit | Measure Celsius and do a calculation | | Kelvin | Measure Celsius and do a calculation |

      Clearly, Celsius is superior here

    I certainly know what degrees Celsius are, but I have no idea what Celsius degrees are supposed to be.

    Here’s a rough C° primer for Americans

    0° or below, fucking cold

    1° - 10° cold

    11° - 20° cool

    21° - 30° warm

    31° - 40° hot

    41° or above - Jesus Christ I’m on fire!

    As for Fahrenheit for the rest of the world, on a scale from 0 to 100, how hot is it? Assume anything below zero is really fucking cold, and anything above 100 is really fucking hot.

      I get metric for everything else, but °F is the better system for everyday/non scientific use. I will die on this hill.

        That’s because Fahrenheit is % of hot, based on what we feel. Therefore, °F is better for everyday use.

          The one you use is the better system. I want to know whether I should bring a sweater. The system is arbitrary.

            That’s when we feel 0% hot.

      Because each time we look for some English content, they use some dumb fantasy metrics based on the size fo the feet of a king for some reason, and we need to look up a converter to change it to a metric used in 195 different countries.
