minus-squareRob BoslinkfedilinkEnglish7•9 months agoThis is why I say ‘metre’ for the measure and ‘meter’ for the measurement device
minus-square@doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish5•9 months agoIn point of fact Americans have gotten impressive results out of far more complicated metrics than metric. It’s not a matter of understanding, it’s a matter of pride. And of not having to buy all new tools.
minus-square@rovingnothing29@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish68•9 months agoYou miss out on screaming that it’s negative anything though.
minus-square@rovingnothing29@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•9 months agoKelvin doesn’t have a negative.
minus-squarepruwybenlinkfedilinkEnglish18•9 months agoThe best system would have 0 at a mild, comfortable temperature, and go up or down by 100 degrees per one degrees Fahrenheit.

minus-square@meeeeetch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish12•9 months agoYou can absolutely yell about that. And when Fahrenheit flips to negative, you’re ready to express some big feelings about how fucking cold it is.
minus-square@CaptainPedantic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish21•9 months agoAnd Rankine would be even better than Kelvin in terms of “big number go brrr.” Water boils at 671 R. Of course, Rankine is the most obnoxious unit I’ve ever had to deal with, but those numbers sure are big!
minus-squareDettweilerlinkfedilinkEnglish17•edit-29 months agoYou mean it’s THREE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN FUCKING DEGREES OUTSIDE?!
minus-square@alcoholicorn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish5•9 months agoOK, but with Rankine, if it’s 101 out, you can go Five Hundred and SIXTY degrees??!

minus-square@uis@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoJoules are energy. You need thermal capacity to turn them into temperature.
