It's just that Fahrenheit tells us how the temperature feels for humans. Who cares what temperature feels like for water? 😂
@StuartCuthbertson Ай бұрын
ANY temperature scale tells you how the temperature feels for humans, if you grow up using it. I know totally intuitively that anything below -10 is really really cold (I don't really experience this where I am), around 0 is cold enough to pay attention, 10 is a bit chilly but unremarkable, 20 is pleasantly warm, and 30+ is properly hot. 40+ getting really dangerously so. This makes total, complete and utter sense to me, on an "i know it even if I'm thinking about 5 other things and stressed" level: BECAUSE THIS IS THE SYSTEM I WAS TAUGHT FROM A YOUNG AGE. The rest of the world gets that you Yanks were all taught Fahrenheit and so that's the system that you have this intuition about, not Celsius. But you mostly fail to realise that if you just bit the bullet and changed to Celsius, it'd only take a few decades before everyone adjusted and felt that way about Celsius. I promise. The UK went through this when grocery weights and measures went metric. It all worked out just fine! At this point it's really not about which system has more _inherent_ justification, it's that the rest of the world has agreed on one and ONE COUNTRY is being obstinate for no good reason.

0/100 on the Celsius scale tbh. I Still call "°C" "degrees centigrade" from Celsius's bizarre setting of 0 for boiling, and 100 for freezing.
@RFC3514 2 ай бұрын
There's actually a slight historical inaccuracy: Celsius originally labelled the boiling point as 0 and freezing point as 100 (i.e., it went backwards). It was Jean Pierre Cristin that suggested swapping those values (and also suggested the name "centigrade", which was used for 200 years, until it was given Celsius's name). Everything else about this conversation is 100% historically accurate.

Not really, no. The facts given are accurate, but they are not presented in an accurate light. Fahrenheit had good engineering reasons for defining the scale the way he did, mainly related to the ability to reliably calibrate thermometers with the technology available at the time. The mixture of ice, water and ammonium chloride is a eutectic system that gives a very accurate temperature reference, probably the most accurate that could be gotten at the time. (And actually the _exact_ melting point of ice is to this day somewhat difficult to measure.) The range of 32 to 96 is designed for thermometer calibration: since the difference is a very convenient power of two (64--computer programmers will find that number familiar) you can get the entire range of degrees in through repeated bisection of it into halves, quarters, and so on. The boiling point of water is a terrible reference to use from an engineering standpoint, since it varies with pressure and requires some fairly sophisticated vacuum/pressure equipment if you're going to use that calibrate a thermometer. Still, all forgivable for the purposes of making an incredibly amusing sketch!

Apparently Celsius' original scale was inverted from the one we have now. 0 was the boiling point of water & 100 was the freezing point. It was changed after his death.

In fact, technically _hotter_ than infinitely hot. There are articles about it on the University of Munich's and Max Planck Institute's websites, if you're interested.

I might be the only non-American who likes Farenheit better than Celcius. See, in everyday contexts, we normally use temperature for weather measurements. The 0-100 portion of F is much more convenient and relevant than the 0-100 portion of C. Hardly ever a need to go into negatives (and miss the minus sign, and mess up difference measurements, etc.), and the granularity is better - "high 70s (F)" is a sensible thing to say whereas "high 20s (C)" is kind of pointless (25 and 30 feel pretty different).

I have a counter point. Many people look at weather forecasts when making travel decisions. Celcius having 0 being freezing mean you can skim through the numbers overnight and if none are below 0 then there won't be ice on the roads. The fact that 0 and 100 are values which people experience very often (ice, steam) it makes it very easy for people to scale. if an oven is 300 (C) without having to think about it everyone knows its 3 time hotter than a kettle gets and so easier to grasp.
