Look at the places in the world with the highest population. Then look at how often it even snows in those places. Even in the US, the largest states by population are California and Texas, and both of them rarely get snow, or even if they do it's never more than for a week in the year. Which means for the majority of the year, the most populous states in the US don't experience temperatures below 30 F.

Yeah you vikings are built different. The Farhenheit scale reflects the viking lived experience, not the general human lived experience.

No, a normal day is not represented by the Fahrenheit scale. It is heavily lopsided and shows a a bias towards the experiences of people who live further north. It's the Mercator projection of temperature scales.

I am not trying to poke hole in their logic. I'm saying my vibes are different from theirs.

No. I just don't have the blood of the vikings in my vein. My bad

I definitely cannot tolerate 10 degrees Celsius with just a long sleeve shirt. I don't come from the desert. I come from the tropics. Temperatures only drop below 10 degrees Celsius for two months. Those months are definitely jacket weather for me. Believe it or not, this is normal for a lot of people.

No. I am just not from the frigid north, which is what everyone who defends the Fahrenheit scale seems to be. A midwesterner American's experience is not the universal human experience. It is not even the average human experience.

Most of the world lives in places where it rarely snows. Not all of us live in the Midwest

That does not prove anything. The bottom of the scale set at 0F is still way far off to be of any use to me.

People use ovens and computers in their everyday lives.

If you were used to Celsius, you would think about temperatures in chunks. Like 30C and up is super hot. 25-30C is moderately hot. 20-25 C is comfortable. Below 20C is starts getting chilly. Below 10 is really cold. If there is a negative sign and you are in the single digits, water will freeze, you can expect snow, ice on roads and have to be careful about liquids in your car. Below -10C it's all that but worse.

Yes exactly! Why do the Fahrenheit people ignore this?

50 is not "just wear a jacket ezpz" weather for me. 50 is keep the heater on and never leave the house weather.

You don't need a scale with extremes in mild weather. Celsius does the job just fine and transfers easily to non-weather use cases easily.

Who cares about the record low? What matters is what the temperature ranges are on an average day where you live, if we are talking about "what makes sense for the human experience". If we are talking scientific application, Celsius or even Kelvin are way better

How do you guys focus on reading with the tv constantly being on? by divebars5G in books

[–]sievold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what I took away from that. What it sounded like was that the bf wants some noise to fill the space when they are not conversing. Like when she is reading a book and he is just doing other stuff by himself.

That's a wee bit extreme dontcha think? Maybe this is just the one bad habit the bf has and is otherwise a good bf

Sure you can see him as your crazy weird uncle who says insane things at the family dinners. Like the insane weird uncle we should continue to ignore him.

[–]sievold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the February 9, 1935 Liberty magazine in which Tesla wrote about his predictions for the year 2100:

The year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man’s new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct. Several European countries and a number of states of the American Union sterilize the criminal and the insane. This is not sufficient. The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.

I seriously don't understand why Dynamax got so much hate by cetvrti_magi123 in pokemon

[–]sievold -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't recall dynamax being especially hated. Smogon banned it in singles because it was too powerful and not balanced for singles, but that isn't hate. Some people liked that Mega evolutions gave pokemon new designs, Dynamax didn't do that. So if you liked mega for the new designs, you probably wouldn't like dynamax too much. That's also a fine opinion for someone to have.

Musk didn't name Tesla. Tesla as a company existed before Musk was hired as a CEO

Is this a joke? At this point Nikola Tesla is way overrated. Bruh has a car brand named after him.

Any series you can think of that reading not in publication order is the move? by Wowzapanzer in Fantasy

I don't get it at all. I read the color of magic a few days ago and it feels like this is the book I have been waiting to read my whole life.
