That's a poor argument, though, when the justification for utilizing volume, mass, and distance is because it is very "base 10"-y and is easily divisible and understood.

Celsius absolutely is shit for that.

I could use your logic to justify why imperial units are better for length, for example, but we all know it's a bit fucked. Celsius is absolutely fucked for temperature regarding human comfort and is imprecise.

Replying again because you've edited your comment and added another paragraph.

Your edit asserts that Celsius is "absolutely fucked" regarding temperature for human comfort... which is an utterly bizarre argument to make because it only makes sense to people who are used to Fahrenheit and have an intuitive sense of what 72F means to them, but have no intuitive sense of what 22C means

I'm not entirely sure that you're not just trolling now.

No negative numbers needed for most cases, 0-100 scale for the extremes MOST people need to care about with relative "feels like" every 10 degrees (but realistically every 5 is distinguishable, even smaller amounts depending). Ez pz.

IDK why you're so defensive about Celsius lol. It's okay to admit when an SI unit has a poor application. Your ONLY defense for it is "well people can get used to it" which is the exact same reason I could say "well you could just get used to feet, inches, yards, miles, pounds, ounces, fluid ounces, teaspoons, tablespoons, etc" - it's a shit argument for both.

But oh that's right this is Lemmy where "america bad" for everything.

Right, so...once again, your argument is that you feel that Fahrenheit makes more sense, because that's what you're used to

I never said that C is better because people can get used to it, you're just making that up. I said that the system people are used to is inherently going to be the one that makes the most intuitive sense to them, and that applies to both C and F.

The rest of what you said applies equally to any system of measurement.

I don't understand why you're so angry about this?

The entire point of this post under which we are all commenting is insinuating a superior system of measure. Jesus you actually are this stupid.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So... in your opinion, Celsius is shit because you're not used to it ?

[–] shylosx@lemmy.world -3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Tell me you didn't read the argument without telling me you didn't read the argument.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Ah yes, more insults. Your argument of 'the system I use is better because I abuse people who disagree with me' is very compelling indeed.

[–] shylosx@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Saying that you didn't read my argument because your point ignored it entirely is an insult? It's abuse? LMAO.

Are you fucking stupid? <- that is an insult

...says the person who has literally been swearing and insulting me in every reply.

Blocking you now. I don't need your childish insults in my life.

[–] shylosx@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

"every reply"

No just that one and this one. Fuck off idiot.
