  • What a myopic reply. Since you didn’t say otherwise I’ll assume I was correct regarding your location.

    Snow is created in the air, not ground level.

    Yes, and where does it go? You are aware there is water on the ground as well, which freezes, which makes a big difference in your day-to-day life.

    Knowing when you’ll die is pretty damn important.

    You’ll die of exposure long before your blood freezes but sure

    They’re both arbitrary and situationally useful points.

    I disagree that both are arbitrary, 0C° is when water freezes at sea level, 100C° is when it boils. I’ll grant you that 100 is a bit arbitrary but it’s a nice round number. Freezing at 32F° however, that is arbitrary. I don’t see how F° is situationally useful in any way compared to C°.

    You want to argue having more precision with no extra effort is now bad? If you’re using two numbers anyway, why would you not want the extra precision?

    There is no meaningful point in having more precision when the numbers you use are bracketed by nonsense. I don’t care that 1F° is “smaller” than 1C° because it would never affect me.

    You’re only arguing to defend Celsius, for some weird reason. You can’t admit there’s any advantage to F that you need to make up stupid excuses for C. You aren’t arguing in good faith. Come back when you’re willing to.

    Talk about the pot calling the kettle black haha. I have provided a good reason for using C°, as far as I can tell you don’t have anything other than “I’m used to F° therefore its better”


  • I guess you don’t live anywhere where it snows then. Knowing whether water freezes at sea level is very impactful since a majority of people on the planet live pretty close to sea level, knowing when my blood freezes seems really useless.

    Also no one uses decimals with C° unless it’s a medical situation or similar. There’s so many factors that you can’t tell the difference between 17° and 18° anyway, regardless of F° or C°
