post temperature in celsius = ban

Bah...silly people. Fahrenheit (AKA here as "Freedom Degrees") was invented first. We don't need that new-fangled Celsius to make temperatures seem more pleasant...

I say let the ingrates use Celsius but I want to see some numbers after a decimal point. The degree of accuracy in Celsius measurements of temperature as it relates to our living environment is too coarse of a measurement.

70F = 21.11C
71F = 21.66C
72F = 22.22C

So if you round the equivalent of 71F in Celsius up to 22C there essentially is no equivalent to 71F because 22C more accurately reflects 72F.

Pretty dumb. Which is why smarter nations stayed with Fahrenheit measurements.

Everyone knows this.

Too coarse a measurement, thats like measuring a football pitch in millimeters. Who gives a crap is it is 71 or 72 dumbass degrees you couldn't tell the difference anyway.

lol, this is the first I have heard them called Freedom Degrees. Hilarious!
I need to use that at work.

"What is the max temp?"
"105 degrees of freedom."
"Degrees of what?..."

Of course, degrees of freedom is a common engineering term for 3d CAD software constraints already.

degrees of freedom is a common term to statistics. any genre of statistics.

I'd vote for any Presidential candidate that made this top priority.


It won't happen, and I'll never vote in any Presidential election!
 
Do you guys still refer to an engines displacement in cubic inches (dumbest unit of measurement ever created including the half turnip) or do you use litres like the rest of the civilised world? Or is it a bit of both?

Both...to a degree, (Fahrenheit of course) but liters is becoming MUCH more common. Hell, I remember when engine displacement (usually Japanese cars more than European makes) was in CC, not L.
 
I think Fahrenheit is probably the better measurement for inside thermostat settings as it allows a finer control of the temperature. 1 degree change in Celsius would be a couple degrees Fahrenheit which might be the difference between being too hot or too cold.

Huh? What did you think F stood for? Freedom Degrees. And, if I travel 60 miles north and cross the border, those people up there use Canadian degrees. That's what the C stands for. I thought everyone knew this. 😛

And, in response to the OP's formula, is dividing by 5 (3rd grade arithmetic) that hard? Multiplying by 9? Adding 32?
 
I've only learned 2 temperatures in farenheit. 100 is hot I think ..and 70 is room temperature.

I'm an celcius guy.

I live in such smart non-US country that it has invented digital thermostats with 0.5 degrees Celsius steps! I promise, it is true, I have many in my house!!!
