It's a perfectly logical system of measurement: zero is the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride; and 100 degrees is the body temperature of a horse.
My biggest gripe with celsius is that the numbers are too small when talking about weather . So I’m making a new temperature unit I’m calling Jelsius. It’s just celsius times 3. Water still freezes at zero but now it boils at 300.
If you need me I’ll be by my mailbox waiting for the nobel to come in.
Who the hell can tell the difference? e.g. A difference from 15 to 16 degrees is borderline imperceptible. And if you really need it, decimal points are right there.
Yeah I've never understood that argument. The only time I can feel a single degree difference is if I'm going swimming in winter
Usually when someone brings up Fahrenheit there'll be some dumbass who comes in and talks about how it's better because it makes more sense and is intuitive.
Fun fact, we don't have lbs in my country either, so when I was first exposed to the Red version pokédex as a kid and all the weights were in lbs I was like "what the heck is a libs?"
It would have been funny if they localized the English version for Britain rather than the US and all the weights were given in stones.
Behold, the SS Anne, at least 100 cubits long and weighing at least 50 stone, it gets over 5 barleycorn to a demiard of kerosene!
Yes but how many farthings can it cross in fortnight while taking the hobbits to Isengard?
The recently spotted ufo was 50 brunches wide and 2000 libs heavy.
ufo was 50
We are now reporting that the ufo was in fact 25
Wikipedia says the surface of the sun is 5,772 K which is about 10,000 F.
Lion is hotter than the surface of the sun.
This agrees with my personal fan theory that Ash Ketchum wrote the pokedex himself. The pokedex is perfect and makes logical sense at all times.
Hope this helps.
Regular old mundane lightning here on earth is also hotter than the surface of the sun, so it's not that wild. Although I think if it was that hot for very long it would be pretty catastrophic.
Lightning also functionally only exists for a fraction of a second (most of the time) and then its energy is dispersed. It's like how sparks are also ridiculously hot, but they are tiny and fleeting so it doesn't really effect anything. I think any stable entity that has lightning-like heat as just a base temperature is kind of incomparable in terms of impact, though I realize you already said that, but I guess my point is that this creature isn't as hot as a lightning strike, it's as hot as hundreds of successive lightning strikes on the same spot (and then the mega evo wears out, I guess).
and this pokemon doesnt exist at all, which is much less than a fraction of a second, so it can easily be hotter than lightning
I should have considered that because it doesn't exist, it neither retains nor produces any heat at all and therefore should be an ice type. Perhaps ice/ghost, since ghosts don't exist, or ice/dark because in Japanese dark type is "evil type" and moral values don't exist . . . maybe it should have all three types, since Pokemon with three types don't exist.
the least existing type of pokemon exists the most, yes
So, in our emerging field of Pokemon ontology, you would rate a Sound type Pokemon as existing more than a Fire type Pokemon because the Sound type, by virtue of not existing, exists less than the Fire type?
Would this constitute a sort of hypostatic union of existence and non-existence? If not, how would you define the Great Chain of Un-Being here? [i.e. the hierarchy of unreality that makes one unreal thing less real than another unreal thing]
why can't burgerlands be normal and use celsius
Celsius vs Fahrenheit is an example of everyone being wrong because KELVIN is the SI unit of temperature and it is the most useful unit because it also functions as an ominous Mayan-calendar style clock ticking down to the end of the universe
Kelvin is just celsius with a different baseline, thus making celsius good.
I'm afraid Celsius is officially defined by the kelvin, not the other way around
Because it makes the europeans mad.
but they're also europeans, a few times removed
none of the ancestor countries want modern "i'm x% whatever" americans to move there. I'm cool with dying because i'm miserable regardless but that's not going to work for most people.
I still remember when I three years ago made an effortpost about why americans should shut the fuck up with their weird "I'm from this country"-one-blood-drop-rule-bs. Made a lot of hexbears mad.
It does, I'm literally fuming
I like how his head is 炎
Yeah, clever
Don't remember if they're all sfw/agreeable but the first few were fine. The beautiful mind of a 10 year old
This is either the temperature of the surface of the sun or a particularly hot summer noon.
this is my dog. he can vaporize steel with his breath. he's safe to pet tho
Probably named cupcake or something
10 °C -> 50 °F
20 °C -> 68 °F
30 °C -> 86 °F
40 °C -> 104°F
-40° C -> -40° F
575 K -> 575° F
hope this helps
18 000 F might as well be a billion F as it means nothing to me, just like inch and feet. wtf is a yard if not a backyard???
A yard is 3 feet, or 36 inches, or 1/1,760th of a mile. Makes perfect sense to me.
Read the thread and I feel like I'm tripping, because I think I've read pretty much the exact same Fahrenheit/Celsius convo on this here website not that long ago, lol.
