    TV weather people saying that the temp will be in the 80s is less useful to me than if they tell me if it will be 27°C for example

    Well this isn’t really an accurate comparison. If they know an exact temperature, they would say it in both measurements. But they don’t. So “in the 80s” is the perfect range. Preparing for 80 degrees is almost identical to how you would prepare for 89 degrees. There’s no metric equivalent. The “20s” is way too big of a range. 20 vs 29 is a huge difference. Also, with it being base 10, you don’t really need more information. 80 is 80% hot. Think of the hottest weather you’ve been in. 80 degrees is about 80% of that. And before you say “I’ve been in 115 degree weather”. Yeah, so have I, I lived in arizona, and 115 is honestly not too much different than 100. After 100 it doesn’t matter much. Same with below 0. But the 0-100 range, each degree matters quite a bit

    The reason I ask is because as someone AMAB, and has not transitioned or anything, I can relate to a weird sense of guilt for being attracted to girls but also being jealous. It’s hard to explain, and was just curious if this was a deep cut into my personal psychological experience or not =]

    I’m making the case that your “human environmental temperature” is a shit reason to pick Fahrenheit because we have all these things that surprisingly don’t conform to it. So you’ll have to go outside the 0-100 range anyway. So you won’t get any “benefit” from it, even when the “benefit” was dubious to begin with.

    It’s better to pick the scale that does conform to it for the vast majority of applications, and then just deal with the others. Either by using C or just dealing with it. For every 1 time you need to deal with temps of your computer, you’ll interact with the environmental temperature a thousand times. And neither C or F are inherently better for describing CPU temps.

    Wait till you see international ovens and cooking manuals. It’s gonna blow your mind.

    Oh, I forgot to pull out my cooking manual. Yeah C is MUCH better.

    Yes I mistyped 80vs86.

    Oh, thought you were being sarcastic.

    But are you seriously saying you can’t tell the difference between 68 and 86? That’s absolutely absurd

    I’m imagining your place as just filled with coats

    Yes I live in San Francisco, I have several coats.

    and thermometers

    My thermostat and my phone. So “full”

    They kinda are though lol.

    Not really. Explain what you do differently in -10F temperatures that you wouldn’t do in 0F temperatures in normal life. I don’t want to hear about how you would choose a different sleeping bag or prepare your snow shoes differently or some shit. When your day consists of commuting to work, going to the grocery store, then going home, what meaningful difference do any values below 0F have.

    But what about sauna. What about it?

    What about really cold weather.

    What about it?

    What about cooking.

    What about it?

    Hell, what about my PC.

    What about it?

    What about when I have a fever

    This is actually the perfect example. Above 100 is a fever. Below is fine

    What about really hot weather

    What about it?

    The temperatures are about much more than the fuzzy idea about normal-ish weather in certain places on earth.

    Not in 99% of how people use the temperature.

    And your examples of cooking and your PC are not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about human environmental temperature. But in fact, cooking is another good use for F. You generally only care about a few specific temps. 350F and 400F. Anything else is nuance but basically only matter on the 25 degree marks. So 375, 425. It’s actually a pretty great scale for cooking, with broiling generally maxing out at 500 (unless you’re talking very specific application, like pizza ovens or some shit)
