Topic	Poll: The US should change from Fahrenheit to Celsius Y/N
Blightzkrieg 07/03/18 12:38:57 PM #14:	ParanoidObsessive posted... Fahrenheit is far better for measuring human tolerances to temperature. Celsius is better for science, but in my daily life, I don't really give much of a shit about science. I'd argue the same is true for the Imperial/Standard system versus Metric in general - Metric is better for general conversion, sharing data, and scientific discussion, but it's less useful for general life, because Standard measures actually evolved out of real life applications, whereas Metric was a more artificial creation. You say this every time this comes up and I honestly never understand what the fuck you mean. Numerical measurements of temperature are all artificial creations. --- https://imgtc.com/i/sIhpHts.jpg <cite>Blightzkrieg posted [p:904420821] in Poll: The ...
