Freezing water at 0 and boiling water as 100 simplifies things a lot but also doesn't make sense when it comes to things like weather, like, what am I supposed to wear outside when it's 23 degrees?

this is so true, but the thing the celsiouds won't understand, that the farenheitoids haven't realized, is that the celsius users die (not literally) in heat of about 85 f which for any fahrenheit user is, literally a nice summer day.

EDIT: i'm making a joke about the UK heat waves, since people don't seem to realize that.

It has LAYERS!

TWO HUNDRED AND SEVETY THREE KELVIN I'M FREEZING

By that logic, Americans should use km/h instead of mph. Going 0-100 is much better than 0-60. For the same reason you keep telling us why Fahrenheit is so much more intuitive.

100mph is like, actually kinda spooky though. 100 kmh isn't spooky. Also 60mph ties nicely into the seconds/minutes/hours time dichotomy, which is fun.

Actually, it's the other way around. 100 degrees F weather is really hot. Driving 100 MPH is really fast.

In metric we have 40 degrees C weather is really hot, and driving....uhhh... (gets out a calculator)... 160 km/h is really fast.

You can go 100 mph

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (16 children)

You guys have a lot of Max 100 zones?

Because in km/h, we got lots of those

Also you calculate acceleration using 0-100 mph?

I didn't say it was legal.

You can also go 107 Celsius, for a while.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

You're saying this one goes up to eleven ?

Sounds like a great time to propose my system of temperature: Super Celsius. I'll connect it to the freezing and boiling points of water just like Celsius, but while freezing remains at 0, boiling is now 1000. Get ready for a nice mild day of 250.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's overboard; You're fine just multiplying your Celsius by 2.75.

Kilocelsius

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

decicelsisus. It would only be 0.1kC when water is boiling. That's not very fun.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (3 children)

CentiCelsius I think (10 cm in 1 m). kilo would go the other way. love this idea though
