Yeah we usually know Jack shit except inventing most of the standard measurements and concepts of western civilisation.

Do Europeans know how much better Fahrenheit is for weather?


Better is entirely subjective.

Celcius is all i've ever known therefore it seems entirely logical to me.

Fahrenheit is all you've known so it seems entirely logical.

Fahrenheit is the same thing but the numbers make sense


Yes because 32 being the base line is so sensible...


Fahrenheit: "Let's pick some arbitrary thing's temperature and make it 32."
Celcius: "Let's pick some arbitrary thing's temperature and make it 0."
Kelvin / Rankine: "Let's define zero as the lowest possible temperature that can exist."

I'd say celcius isn't much more sensible than fahrenheit, in that regard. Celcius makes more sense to me because I'm used to it, but if I actually think about it, it's really just as arbitrary and nonsensical - the only real difference is how much of a change 1 degree represents.


Yes but think about it in the terms of the ordinary man and woman on the street.

A baseline should be 0, it is in most other walks of life. Anything below zero - freezing anything above - normal. Simple.

All the normies became too interested.

It used to be a wild west of free ideas and humour and now it's a place your mother goes to shop for curtains on amazon.

For most of the politicians of the world the internet is amazon, facebook, twitter, google and a few of the news websites.

8 was an absolute mess. The first disc was fantastic, but the gameplay and story just completely breaks down as it goes along.


They needed to keep the military stuff going and the war between gardens rather than the bonkers sorcerer stuff.

Can anyone pinpoint the moment the USA was "great"?

This is the great myth of the last 40 years or so. Do none of you guys get suspicious that your politicians constantly use "we need to go back to the great times of America" as much of the basis of their political campaigning?

It's pretty much the archetypal political spin tactic straight from politics 101.

any parts of 4chan, youtube videos.

Those places are more conservative than gamefaqs.


And yet there are nowhere near as many repugnant 4chan posts or youtube videos.

YouTube has the most reactionary base of any mainstream website besides Yahoo News I guess. I mean have you read the comments on any YouTube video in the past three years? It's really fucking bad.


I wasn't necessarily judging the comments because the comments are offensive to pretty much any living breathing creature on most youtube videos.

I was more reflecting on the actual uploaded videos themselves.

Relative to the population of the site I would say Gamefaqs has more.

Nah it really isn't.

Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, many parts of 4chan, youtube videos.

On the PS4 board there was a thread I was involved in in which there was a group of around 10-12 users who consistently agreed on the position that gay people should "go away and shut up" and that "gay is not normal". One or two trolls you can imagine but a consistent block of users is something rare.

Every day there is a thread on the PS4 board about some game featuring a gay character or woman or black character and it turns into a 500 post thread with some really repugnant views expressed, views I genuinely have never heard expressed seriously on any other online forum.

I know there are some twitter posts equally as bad but twitter has like a billion users. This place has about 100,000 at most.

He makes probably more money than you will see in your life and he doesn't have to work for some dumbass manager in some dumbass corporation.


lmao someone is butthurt


Err no.

The amount of vitriol people have for YouTubers is funny. Most of them have had some form of background in the gaming media and press and so essentially all they are doing is swapping their journalism jobs working for a company to being self employed and running their own gaming blog/business. Yet you get the types on here looking down their nose at people making money from a job they are passionate about. Of course most people on here don't actually have jobs to begin with.

In fact I find the general hate for YouTube's on gamefaqs quite funny.

I can only assume that all the neckbearda on here are salty that so many YouTubers make fame and fortune for spouting the stuff all the jackasses on here do for free and everyone in here wants a piece of that moolah
