Fahrenheit is the best human-focused temperature scale. 0 is super cold, 100 is super hot, 50 is the line between short sleeve and long sleeve weather (assuming no wind). Anything outside these bounds, it simply isn't worth going outside. But then everyone at a latitude <|37|° will say "that's not that hot" and everyone at a latitude >|40|° will say "that's not that cold," so really it's the best Kansas-focused temperature scale

Because weather is simple, right?

“It’s snowing so climate change can’t be real!”

Look, you're entitled to your opinion but I think it's a bit Kansocentric.

"the perfect scale"

Proceeds to list completely arbitrary temperatures and link them to completely subjective opinions

I can make all the same points about celsius with the added bonus of 0 and 100 being universally applicable and objectively measured

  • 0 freezing
  • 10 cool
  • 20 room temperature
  • 30 hot
  • 40 very hot

Yeah I guess I agree, 0 to 40 makes much more sense in the context of temperatures humans typically exist in than 0 to 100

"It's the best scale if you happen to live in the perfect conditions for it"

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

That last sentence was a largely facetious, poking fun at people who live in areas where it can get colder than 0° in winter or hotter than 100° in summer, who have a habit of telling other people that the extremes aren't that extreme. In reality the fahrenheit scale is pretty useful the world around, barring deserts

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I'm sure it's useful, but it's not really any better is what I mean

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Most useful, or as some would say, best

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

It's neither though. It's not any more useful than Celsius, I'm sorry to say
