What reason would I possibly need to know how many inches are in a mile? What purpose does that serve in my everyday life?DRAMABOT 5000 wrote:
Please stop being ignorant. Metric system not only makes much more sense, it's easier! Who wouldn't want that!? The powers of ten are amazing! I can tell you immediately how many centimeters are in 473 kilometers. You on the other hand (to include me!) have no clue, without some calculator help, as to how many inches are in 473 miles.ᏣяλżɏVįқîиg wrote:
Not really. Especially on distance the metric system is in efficient. The numbers un kilometers end up ridiculously high.Celsius and the metric system make much more sense.
Oh and go Celsius! 👍

And that above is my point. The normal person has no need for such conversions. Those are needed in science yes. And that's why scientists use

What if you are following a recipe and need to add 2 cups of something, but don't have a 1 cup measuring cup. How easy is it to figure out how many tablespoons to add? If you used metric and needed to convert from liters to milliliters, it would be simple.

anybody use the kelvin scale???????
-
For temperature alone, the metric system loses. Everything else, they win.
The simple fact is that Celsius is not as accurate as Fahrenheit.

I am not sure what you meant by "not as accurate". You can carry sufficient significant figures to make every number "as accurate".
Degree C or degree F really doesn't matter. They both are temperature units. It depends on what you are accustomed to. Just don't use either of them in the ideal gas law. -

What I don't like with Fahrenheit is that it's based in a mix of saline and water. I mean, who the hell gets an idea like that? Celsius is based in the waters freezing/melting point which, according to me, is much more understandable. Though Kelvin is the most logical of them all. As -172 (maybe its 272) degrees Celcius counts as heat I think that Kelvin thought smarter. 0K is no heat. 1K is heat. Simple. Though, I'm grown up with the Celsius so I am used to it. Farenheit is more confusing. I would like that whole the world used the same scale so we don't have to have these discussions. A good solution was that everyone used Kelvin since no one that is grown up with Fahrenheit wants Celsius and no one grown up with Celsius wants Fahrenheit.
Long thing :)
For everyone that skipped to read the above I think everyone in the world should use the same temperature scale.

Metric👎 Standard👍

No B, I disagree to your attitude towards this. You say farenheit is for the average joe and yet it holds more accurate readings for temperatures... You also say c* is for idiots.... What a troll statement. This isnt your arguement, its a debate except most of these posts are yours...
Anyway, the main reason I like c* is simple. When its 2 degrees on the weather channel, it close to freezing, an 0* means ice -2 means black ice. You can easily follow trends as an average joe and not some scientist. Also salin and water is a synthetic way of measurement whereas mercury thermometers are a natural occurance... Just my 2*

I dont mind a balance of tge two. I hate the longer amount for kilometers but mostly I could deal with it.
-
Also I dont know how cookers over in you side of the world work, pizza 374*F ?? Chicken?
What temp does water boil at? How safe is your childrens bottles if you use a pot for a change?
-
Ok water boils at 212*f and 200*c is 394*f
And this is efficient how?
-
Celsius makes a lot more sense and give a better idea of the temperature. Fahrenheit isn't really base on anything
-
Feirenheit is more accurate in a way
-
Celsius is not simpler than Fahrenheit. It's not base 10 like metric units.
It is lined up with Kelvin though.
Zero Kelvin is -273.15 C
Zero Celcius is 273.15 KBasing the temperature scale on water is pointless. The freezing of water varies with barometric pressure and impurities. It is simply a Kelvin scale stepped up by an arbitrary 273.15 degrees.
If I was to switch, Kelvin is the only system that is mathematically more convenient than Fahrenheit.
-
I grew up with F, it's like my 'first language' with reading temperatures. It's slays going to come easy t me and personally I'd rather not read Celsius. It really doesn't matter....if you learn one you can learn the other lol!

That's my polite way of saying "that statement is wrong". Neither is more accurate than the other. As long as you know how to convert the units as an engineer and don't crash a Mars orbiter (or anything else), life is the same under both unit systems.
Water boils at 99.67oC under 1 bar (100 kPa) and it boils at 211.4oF under 14.5 psi (= 1 bar). They are exactly the SAME. -
All I can say is I'd much prefer hearing 35•C then 95•F for the days temperature.
And who needs exact temperatures in everyday life anyway?
That's your big argument after all."cook the chicken at 220•, and when I say 220• I mean fucking 220•, not 219 and NOt 221, Fucking 220•!!!!"
"yes dear-_-"
Maybe a scientist?

Wow, looks like this thread is getting HEATED!
AWWWWWWWWW YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH

America needs to get with the program, it is falling so far behind by clinging on to old systems. There is more choice throughout the world in electrical goods because America is the only country on 110 volts, and their cell phone system is positively archaic, which is ridiculous, since so much of it was invented in the US.

That's what I am saying. Fahrenheit has a smaller unit of measurement, and therefore is more accurate naturally, without the need to divide the number into fractions or decimals.
-
The only difference between 69 and 70 feeling cold or warm are outside influences - such as being in direct sun light. The same would go for the Celsius scale, it's just subjective.
I'm with beauty, both scales are accurate, just get off your integer high chair and use decimals.
Go metric!

Grew up learning standard in America, prefer metric it makes way more sense. 12 inches equals 1 foot? Fucking stupid. Increments of 10 are where it's at

And where do you get that our cell phone system is archaic? Can any cellular phone system really be called archaic? No, we use the world standard GSM here with most of our phones, and have since the late 90's.
Get with the program indeed.
The lack of standardizing on the metric system hurts nothing. That's why we haven't switched, and that's why you don't use a Dvorak keyboard layout.
Mnyaa!
