weapon_d00d816 posted...Rika_Furude posted...weapon_d00d816 posted...Rika_Furude posted...weapon_d00d816 posted...You're arguing with feelings here, not logic. Let me break it down for you nice and easy: How many times have you walked outside and experienced 100C? How many times have you walked outside and experienced 100F (just slightly above human body temperature)? Now I know you live in Australia, but how often do you think people in temperate climates (places that experience varied seasons, i.e. spring/summer/autumn/winter) experience something colder than just the bare minimum for snow/ice in winter? 0-100C is great for chemistry and physics, but for the weather it's not ideal because its 0-100 scale does not line up closely with typical minimum and maximum air temperatures for temperate climates. Fahrenheit on the other hand fits pretty snugly with these minimum and maximum temperatures. Therefore, in terms of weather usage, Fahrenheit is more practical and Celsius's otherwise logical placemarkers become rather arbitrary for this application. (PS If you're still dead-set on using "ultra logical" temperature scales without regard for the 0-100 lining up then why not use the superior Kelvin?) --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG ...

weapon_d00d816 posted...Rika_Furude posted...Hexenherz posted...Can we keep Fahrenheit for regular weather forecasts though? On the contrary. My argument is the same for why I prefer other Imperial units in daily life: human relatability. Metric units are often cumbersome or tedious for various applications in a person's daily life. This is because Metric was designed for scientific uniformity and Imperial arose naturally based on the needs of those who used them. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG ...

uwnim posted...The real question is why do non-Americans care so much about what units we use in our day to day life? It isn't isolationistic though. We do also use metric units when they are actually needed or when they are actually practical. Like mg, ml and l are all common units for us because they added value. Everything else was pretty much useless for regular purposes. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn. [Order of the Cetaceans: Phocoena dioptrica] ... Copied to Clipboard!

The real question is why do non-Americans care so much about what units we use in our day to day life? because it does affect non-Americans, especially when the US is one of the biggest exporters in the world and also has strong influences in many industries. Like the example I gave in my post. Get a cookbook. Open it up only to see everything in stupid quartz, pint, cups, ounces. It's really annoying. ... Copied to Clipboard!

uwnim posted...The real question is why do non-Americans care so much about what units we use in our day to day life? If I imported a cookbook from like some place in Europe, I'd expect to find things in mililiters and grams and then not be able to follow along because I don't have a good kitchen scale. Most of our stuff is volumetric so you could easily get a conversion chart and turn it all into liter based units. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn. [Order of the Cetaceans: Phocoena dioptrica] ...

It no longer serves its human relatability purpose because the measuring instruments are fused with the objects of relatability themselves. Almost everyone here who cooks has actual measuring equipment and no need for estimating with standard kitchenware. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG ...

Mackorov posted...uwnim posted...The real question is why do non-Americans care so much about what units we use in our day to day life? Food would be the easiest thing to convert. Literally everything you buy has both US customary and metric units on it. Just change the order we present them and start standardizing package sizes based on the metric one and then we could convert our cooking measurements over. Everything else would be too annoying and not really have any benefit --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn. [Order of the Cetaceans: Phocoena dioptrica] ... Copied to Clipboard!

It wouldn't be a America if they didn't insist that no, everyone else is doing it wrong. On this it's really the rest of the world who insists we are wrong while we say it doesn't really matter and there's no actual right or wrong. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn.
