Topic	Why does Fahrenheit get so shit upon?
Kamen_Rider_Blade 07/28/23 7:35:44 PM #45:	FurryPhilosifer posted... I don't think Fahrenheit makes that much more sense as a "comfortable temperature" scale. You're just familiar with it. So to you 60F might mean "nice day, middle of the scale" but to me it means nothing. Whereas I can read 24C and immediately know "oh, warm day" (don't laugh 25C is the highest temperature ever recorded in the town I live). Anyway, why should Fahrenheit be where it is? 0F is really cold? So is -10F, so why not start the scale there? Why not have 0 as a comfortable temperature, and anything above or below that as hot and cold? Fahrenheit does not inherently make any more sense. PLUS 60F being a comfortable temperature is completely dependent on the local environment and what temperatures they're used to. 60F is 15.5C right? I know a lot of people that would consider that cool or even cold. Define what a "Comfortable Temperature" is? That's going to vary drastically from person to person, including region to region. & Humidity is going to screw that up. --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>Kamen_Rider_Blade posted [p:975124617] in Why does F...
