Apparently THUGGER believes that ON TOPIC RESPONSES are trolling.
But perhaps this discussion should continue there.

Honestly, no. That's something I never picked up on my own in real life before either. If it's our official measurement system for the better part of 150 years now, why are we still not teaching it to our kids or using it in almost anything we do?Quote:
NASA lost $134 Million when their Mars Climate Orbiter was destroyed when it confused measuring systems.
lol. Yeah. I heard about that one.Quote:
Canada caused an Emergency Landing on Flight 174 of the Government owned Airline when it forced use of metric measurements, the jet ran out of fuel in mid-flight, at cruising altitude.
Oops!Quote:
Did you learn how the Fahrenheit scale was created?
I may have. If I did, that info is lost in the ether...Quote:
The Definition of the Celsius scale is easier to understand, with 0 degrees and 100 degrees.
I'm sure it is, just like any base-10 unit of measurement in the metric system is.
The only problem is that I didn't grow up learning any of them. Instinctively, I know what a mile is in my head. I know what a yard is. I can visualize a gallon of milk. I know what 60 degrees F feels like.
If I'm trying to do anything with metric, I have to think about those conversions. They do not come naturally, since our purposefully ass-backwards public education system intentionally teaches us the inferior system to this day, during our formative years.

Not sure if you understood.
Celsius scale is defined as Zero is the freezing point of water, and 100 is the boiling point of water.
Fahrenheit is defined as Zero equal to the freezing point of ammonia chloride (technology did not exist to create or theorize Kelvan Zero), and 100 was the human body temperature (Mrs. Fahrenheit was running a fever at the time).

May is suggest that when THUGR trolls in this thread that we repeatedly and resolutely IGNORE him??
THIS is a thread where we talk to each other, not "at" each other. I prefer that THIS thread not carry on in the same vein as all of the other threads. We have thousands of other threads to bicker in, and only a few to be human.

I was wondering which thread you had posted that in, so I could check it out. But if you state that the linked thread contains the entire pertinent content, then that is good.

Getting back to Celsius - as I mentioned, I'm fluent in the lab in Celsius. But for everyday stuff - not so much! Aside from 0C is freezing and 100C is boiling, the only other everyday references I have are 37C which is body temperature, and 21C which is approximate room temperature of 70F. Other than that ...

I agree 100%. It's what we've always done before. I don't know why it didn't happen this time. I was going to say the same thing earlier, but decided against it. But since it was already said, let's just agree on this and ignore anything else.

Nope. I didn't know any of that. Interesting.
Kind of comedic that in 2019 America continues to use a system that isn't even legitimate (Mrs. Fahrenheit was running a fever at the time).
This does not surprise me in the least.
I'd switch to Celcius myself, but my brain has already been broken to all these inferior concepts. Zero for the freezing point and 100 for the boiling point of water is GREAT. Unfortunately, it's everything in between that mean nothing to me at 40 years old.
Like I said before. I know exactly what 60 degrees F feels like. I don't have a clue what 60 degrees C feels like.

Quote:60 degrees C is 140 degrees F. You might not have felt that, but I've had a few of those in the past decade.

One good thing, 40 below Celsius is the same as 40 below Fahrenheit.
