| Topic | Fahrenheit is absolutely >>> Celsius |
| Damn_Underscore 09/26/19 9:06:54 AM #1: | The top thing on reddit right now is about America switching to the metric system, so of course I sorted by Controversial to get decent discussion. And it is full of people being downvoted for saying Fahrenheit is better than Celsius. But Fahrenheit is absolutely a better way of describing the outside temperature than Celsius. The 0 to 100 scale in Celsius is fantastic for measuring the temperature of water. But the temperature outside will almost always be between 0 and 100 F in most areas of the world. That is -18 C to 38 C, which suddenly is not so pretty anymore, and also is only a 50 degree scale which is only half of what Fahrenheit represents (unless you start using half degrees, which are also ugly and inconvenient). There is so much irony in metric fans making fun of Americans for holding on to the Imperial system but at the same time holding on to Celsius for measuring outside temperature. --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time ...
