A European (or anyone else outside of the US) can’t set their AC to 70…
You may be taking this too literally.
I mean, without looking it up, I don’t have a clue how hot 70 is
I think the joke is they set it to 70C, which is very hot
What even is 70?
70 c = 158 f
70 f = 21 c
70 k = -203 c, -333 f
You forgot rankine :(
-459.67F or -273.15C
They could, If they weren’t cowards
Laporfic? :-P
I’m 100% in on the metric system, but Fahrenheit is the best way to measure weather.
0F is my freezing point 100F is my boiling point
Fuck freezing/boiling of water!
Celsius is great for science (except space science) or cooking, but weather should be based on humans.
It’s just what you grew up with. I’ll stick with Celsius
Fahrenheit isn’t “based on humans.” I can subjectively claim that 0°F is as unreasonably cold as 100°F is unreasonably warm; 30-90 is the only acceptable range. That’s arguably more arbitrary than 0-30.
100, at the time the units were invented, was considered to be human body temperature
And still isn’t a comfortable external temperature.
That would have made medical sense, making Fahrenheit actually useful for certain applications, and then they fucked it up.
Fahrenheit is just more intuitive to me, but that alone makes me prefer Celsius
and then you add all of the other benefits on top. We really need to get on the metric system.
-15f is my “freezing point” and anything above 75 is uncomfortably hot. See what you mean?
