46.6˚C in normal units.
F makes more sense for this. It’s 0-100 on a scale of a human feeling too cold to too hot.
In situations where what’s being discussed is touching human skin: weather, a hot phone, water temp, etc… F does give you a quicker idea of things.
That said, downvote me away!
No need to downvote, I can handle someone having a different opinion.
Fahrenheit doesn’t give a shit about human temperature, he based it on some obscure things (which I can’t remember right now). It doesn’t even fit with human temperature, I think human temperature is like 97 or 98 °F or something like that. The argument was made only to have some argument, it’s not a property of Fahrenheit.
It does make exactly as much sense as Celsius with one important distinction - Celsius plays nicely with other SI units.
Seriously, the only correct answer to
how many foot-pounds does it take to heat 1 fl oz of water by 1° Fisfuck you.I don’t mean it’s body temperature. I mean it’s good for describing temperature felt by a human. The weather is a scale of 0 being too cold to 100 being too hot. The typical person never sees temperature outside this range in their weather, but a good bit of the full range.
When describing weather, you don’t care about 213 being boiling temp and converting to SI. In all Other uses, yes, C is better.
That’s just you being used to the imperial system. I have no problem describing the difference between 0°C, 20°C and 40°C.
And if anyone’s wondering that’s 116°F in more normaler units
Edit: it’s a multi layered joke guys chill. Joke is Americans can’t read, the °F is in the title. The other joke is that American grammar is shit
Lemmy can be pretty hostile to non-European standards. It’s weird… I wonder if Europeans are just using more accounts than Americans, and stacking votes.
If not… Then yikes, if Lemmy is losing the American audience, that’s bad news, friends.
Celsius and Fahrenheit are both European units. It’s just that Fahrenheit is used by less than 5% of the world’s population, so it’s completely reasonable to expect a post title on an international website like this to use Celsius.
To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is “really fucking cold” and 100 degrees is “really fucking hot.” So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as “yeah that’s way too fucking hot for a phone.”
This is also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius in general (even though I am an engineer and am not a die-hard patriot or anything like that). It is a more practical scale for everyday usage.
And Celsius is 0 for freezing water and 100 for boiling water, sounds much more practical to me
There are a lot more Europeans online than Americans (not to mention a few billion internet users on other continents), so when Americans post temperatures exclusively in Fahrenheit it comes across as kinda thoughtlessly parochial.
I don’t believe this at all lol
The audience for this is English speakers. While much of the world reads English non-natively, those people often turn to news source in their native languages. If this article were in French, using Fahrenheit would be silly.
Most iPhone users are American. This data shows that just a few years ago 43% of iPhones were sold in the US, with Japan in 2nd at 14% and China at 13%. Even adding up the UK, France, Germany, and Australia they combine for 20%, though once again I’d expect French and German articles fod those audiences.
Europeans just can’t handle the fact that colonization is over lol.
Damn, how can a first world country produce so much of this?!
Are you stupid? Lemmy isn’t hostile to the US. We are hostile to idiots who do not recognize standards. That this includes most of the US is just a coincidence.
You sure are worked up about this. Why? Calm down, bud.
I am 0 Kelvin calm
Hate to break it to you (and your superiority complex) but Fahrenheit is also a standard.
In the US.
For me a standard that I mean as standard is globaly used by scientists
Cool, so Celsius is not a standard because it isn’t global.
As far as I know even US scientists are using Celsius and centimeters.
