minus-squareDrusas@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·6 months agoFahrenheit is superior to Celsius because it’s more specific and I will die on this hill. 71F feels different than 72F and yet they’re both 22C (for example). Metric is better than imperial, though. Obviously.
minus-squareKairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·6 months agoEver heard of tenths? 22.1C isn’t noticeably different than 22.2C. And yet both are 72F.
minus-squareDrusas@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoTenths of a degree are more noticeable in Fahrenheit than in Celsius for the same reason.
minus-squareiopq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoBut you’re using more digits, like if you’re writing 104.2 that’s 4 digits and still not as accurate as using four digits in Celsius like 41.12
minus-squareDrusas@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoSure, but I never see people use two decimal points in real life when using Celsius to describe weather.
minus-squareiopq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoNobody uses decimal points in Fahrenheit, but it’s common using Celsius The only time I’ve seen Fahrenheit with decimal points is the saying that the normal body temperature is 98.7F Which is actually wrong, this is 37C, already a mild fever 98.0F/36.6C is actually the normal body temperature
minus-squareDrusas@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-26 months agoPeople do use decimals in Fahrenheit, mostly when talking about body temperature. And 98 is not what’s considered normal, though it is within the normal range. Closer to 98.6 is normal.
