Late 80s early 90s there were literal adverts in the classified section of the paper by pirates where you could buy 100s of games for a set sum (very cheap usually). Often you mailed empty disks to them and the money, and they would return it with games. They would also have monthly printed newsletters about new titles.

*In the US.

It is pretty funny how you keep claiming “fahrenheit is the best system for human temperature” countless times. Celsius users then question that, though without claiming celsius is better, it is just something we are used to.

And then you get all pissy and strawman celsius users as saying the exact thing you have been claiming about fahrenheit this entire thread.

But it requires you to be familiar with an arbitrary -20 - 40 scale. Which makes way less sense than a 0-100 scale.

Your 0-100 scale is just as arbitrary, in fact even more, since it doesn’t even cover the daily temperatures huge parts of the global population lives in.

It is pretty funny how your supposed completely intuitive human feeling system needs to have all these disclaimers added to it whenever you try to explain it. Perhaps it is only intuitive because you are used to it after all?

What if it was 99f? Or 1f? Would your scientific “damn this bitch hot out here” change to something else?

They aren’t. And fahrenheit is not a 0-100 scale. It is just the scale you picked out of it in order to make some kind of sense out of the non-intuitive system which it is.

It doesn’t, because celsius users doesn’t think about fahrenheit at all.

People do live outside of North America. I know that must be news to you, but it is the truth.

But fahrenheit is not a 0-100 scale. You have just arbitrarily picked out 0-100 because that makes your brain more easily understand the non-intuitive system which is fahrenheit.

“cold” and “hot” are completely non-descriptive and useless parameters for your supposed “intuitive” system.

My digital thermometers all uses decimals.

People in countries with much much hotter climates than the US use celsius, because most of the rest of the world uses celsius.

They are referring to the fact that 100 celsius literally boils water.

The thing is that you need to learn celsius if you are doing science, but celsius users don’t really need to learn fahrenheit, so this isn’t really a problem that comes up for a lot of celsius users.

Because it is in the middle of that “0 is really really cold, 100 is really really hot” “human feeling” fahrenheit scale you guys keep going on about.

It literally was not.

Their friend is a dumbass though.

geographically unique

Geographically perhaps. But the cultural and historical unique is something you are going to miss out on by staying inside your own home country for your entire life. You think your US regional differences are the same as the differences between two countries, but anyone who has experienced different countries will tell you in an instant that that is not so.

It doesn’t really though for people who doesn’t use fahrenheit.
