absolutely obsessed with the way Fahrenheit is legitimately a superior temperature measurements for day to day life than celsius (more precise, accessible, and understandable) but ppl refuse to admit to it bc they’re so caught up with the “silly americans refuse to convert to metric” gag
fun little info graph I found
[id: three identical number lines with 0 at one and and 100 at the other, labelled “Fahrenheit” “Celsius” and “Kelvin”. The ends are labelled, respectively:
Fahrenheit: Really cold outside - Really hot outside Celsius: Fairly cold outside - Dead Kelvin: Dead - Dead]
OP, it’s only more useful for Americans because you’re not regularly boiling water.
0° Celsius gets you ice. 100° Celsius gets you tea.
It’s a very simple system.
Genuinely fascinated by this world in which Americans don’t boil water on a regular basis and a thermometer is necessary to know whether water is frozen or boiling.
K, but who the fuck needs to check the temperature to tell if water is boiling, though?
no thats. thats literally the homestuck quadrant system
What? What ?? What ???
WHAT THE FUCK IS HOMESTUCK
At this point I’m starting to think it’s just an internet ARG where people collectively make shit up to fuck with us
hey notajerusalemcricket, i need you to understand that at one point tumblr DID actually fake a whole children’s television show using the Squiddles from homestuck so… the opposite of your reblog has already happened
