Like I said earlier, the utility of the C’s zero point being when it freezes/snows seems a lot more concrete to me than “it goes from cold to hot, kinda”

You are really grasping at straws. Next you’re going to say they’re salting the falling snow in the US so it’s perfect for knowing that temp too lmao
you’re arbitrarily ignoring the utility of F
I just don’t understand the utility over C. It sorta feeling like cold or hot doesn’t make all that much sense to me, it’s so vague
You don’t need to use decimals with Celsius. Very rare when talking about the weather for example
It didn’t say something that relates to my real daily life, only something real.
I was commenting on this:
“It’s pretty much just 0 is really cold and 100 is really hot as far as weather goes. Besides that it feels pretty arbitrary. I’m a metric stan, but I do still think Fahrenheit is pretty good for talking about the weather.”
That’s what I’m referring to with this:
"I mean the zero point of Celsius isn’t a vibe in the same way as “pretty cold, pretty hot” "
The freezing point of water at sea level isn’t exactly useful unless we’re working with water at sea level.
I’m not sure if you’re joking but knowing if the roads will be frozen or if it’s gonna snow is pretty useful lol
The comparison was to “pretty cold for a human”. That’s a lot more vibey than “it’s when water freezes”. That’s at least something solid (heh).
What specific thing does it mean that would relate to your real, daily life?
The scale of values is just better for human experience in F. It has more integer values in the range of values humans experience.
Huh? What does that even mean and why it has to specifically be integer values??
I mean the zero point of Celsius isn’t a vibe in the same way as “pretty cold, pretty hot” or however people describe Fahrenheit. It actually means something to real life that it gets to zero or goes negative. 100C is for most people much less useful tbf.
But mainly it’s about what you’re used ofc. I just hate the nonsense thing about Fahrenheit being better that is about vibes alone
Holding in that shit against its will 😔
That’s pretty damn subjective lol. At least the zero point (something important to people living in countries where it falls down to that) gives off useful info.
It makes you feel so wasted being around sober people. Or maybe it’s that being around other people who are wasted numbs you to it

1·2 months agoI honestly thought systemd-homed seemed like a pretty sweet idea, last time I heard about it. Of course it was mostly just people screaming how systemd was literally hitler for even suggesting it

The utility was what we were talking about.
