yes but right is all evil

Why would you actively want evil?

to be fair the playstation controller is pretty reliable…

100% monster

these two things aren’t mutually exclusive, your can play your part and eat billionaires.

and airports

jesus, blue asbestos too the literal worst of them…

and once again gen x don’t exist

investors should not be able to either.

i guess it’s just one of those cool science observations water freezes (and technically melts) at 0 and boils at 100 (at sea level). it fits the base 10 and we just think it’s neat.

i mean probs we should be using degrees Kelvin if we want to be less arbitrary. I’m down for the switch.

while you’re correct they’re both arbitrary scales and I’ve heard this argument before but still think it’s a dumb argument.

Water freezes 0 water boils 100, i guess it fits the base 10 thing.

I think you feel the human 0 to 100 idea works because it’s what you’re used to. 0 to 40 works fine for me to intuitively know how hot or cold it is becuase it’s what i grew up with too. Neither can be argued that one is more right.

although it really makes sense for the USA to just finally switch because it’s long been decided by the rest of the planet this is the better way to measure things. https://media.tenor.com/SD-5sdtUX8QAAAAM/simpsons-homer.gif

don’t forget the lack of the metric system!

Same, it was just a happy accident that our slang made it mainstream I guess.

even weirder that most people seem to identify Judaism as an ethnicity and not as a religion.

it wouldn’t go vrooom if you put 40,000 volts up it.

Dude was having a stroke trying to spell hospital.

Lolz. It’s funny because it’s so stupid.

The argument for Fahrenheit based on a perceived “0 to 100 scale” representing a percentage of heat can be critiqued as it misunderstands how temperature scales work. Temperature is not a percentage system; it’s a measure of thermal energy. The notion that 70 degrees Fahrenheit represents “70% heat” is not scientifically accurate as it implies that temperature is a linear scale capped at 100, which it is not. The Fahrenheit scale was actually based on arbitrary points: the freezing point of brine (0°F) and the average human body temperature (96°F at the time, which has since been adjusted to 98.6°F).

Celsius, on the other hand, is based on the freezing and boiling points of water at 0°C and 100°C respectively, under standard atmospheric conditions. This makes it a decimal and scientifically consistent system that is easier to relate to the states of water, an essential reference in science and daily life.

Comparing temperatures to percentages, like test scores, is a flawed analogy because temperature doesn’t have an upper limit “score” and is not designed to be read as a proportion. The scale from -18 to 38 in Celsius correlates directly with the physical properties of water, which is logical for scientific purposes.

Moreover, many argue that Celsius is more intuitive for everyday weather-related use outside of the U.S., as the scale is more granular for colder climates (where a one-degree change in Celsius is noticeable) and aligns well with the metric system, which is used globally for scientific measurement.

every time I hear Americans pronounce it ‘boo-wee’ little part of me dies inside ngl.

where is this hell scape that you are referring to?
