I prefer Farenheit for weather and celsius for everything else.

0 being "really fuckin cold outside" and 100 being "really fuckin hot outside" has a natural intuitiveness. But when you're cooking or doing science or engineering, normalizing your scale around the phases of water is a lot more handy.

I'm from Sydney, Australia and 0°C is "really fuckin cold outside"! For us anyway lol.

Probably not as -17c (0F) is not "Really fucking cold outside".

Fahrenheit for anything other than ovens feels so wrong haha (I am canadian)

On that note, other parts of the world what unit of measurement do you use for ovens?

[-] sisyphean@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

We use Celsius like for everything else

[-] storksforlegs@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago

Celsius for your ovens? In canada we use faranheit only on ovens for some reason

[-] sisyphean@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Is that because most of your recipes are from the US?

The same can be said for 'football Vs soccer'.

You can add on Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Ireland and South Africa.

You cannot equate a scale with a name.

[-] animist@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

They just did

It's basically the same measurement (as far as I know), but the zero values differ.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago

No that's Kelvin and Celsius.

Celsius and Fahrenheit have almost nothing in common.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 0 points 2 years ago

that’s Kelvin and Celsius

Or Rankine and Fahrenheit.

[-] lars@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

When you can smell the rotten vegetables on NYC sidewalks start to cook in the middle of the summer, you change from Fahrenheit to Rankine
