Topic	Americans talking temperature in Fahrenheit sound insane
DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC 11/14/24 1:27:27 PM #34:	buddah86 posted... Even in the metric system, we dont ever go beyond 1 decimal. It's a very easy system to figure out. 0 is freezing temp, 100 is boiling temp. By that, anything between 0 - high teens is going to be very cold to cool. 20 - 25 you're in the sweet spot with heat. 25+ it's fucked, depending on where you live. This is true, but the reason I prefer Farenheit is you have more accuracy. Metric degrees cover too large a gradient each. For instance, at OF and OC, you're uncomfortable (or comfortable, if you really like freezing temperatures). But go up to 100: at 100F, you're sweating and cursing the sun for its heat. At 100C, you're either dead or in the process of dying. --- The world may be going to Hell, but I am personally awash with convenience. <cite>DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC posted [p:982937740] in Americans ...
