It’s a perfectly logical system of measurement: zero is the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride; and 100 degrees is the body temperature of a horse.
My biggest gripe with celsius is that the numbers are too small when talking about weather . So I’m making a new temperature unit I’m calling Jelsius. It’s just celsius times 3. Water still freezes at zero but now it boils at 300.
If you need me I’ll be by my mailbox waiting for the nobel to come in.
Who the hell can tell the difference? e.g. A difference from 15 to 16 degrees is borderline imperceptible. And if you really need it, decimal points are right there.
Yeah I’ve never understood that argument. The only time I can feel a single degree difference is if I’m going swimming in winter
What do you mean, decimal points? Is that like a sixteenth of a degree?
For sure decimals are a good option I just don’t see weather reported with decimals very often
Usually when someone brings up Fahrenheit there’ll be some dumbass who comes in and talks about how it’s better because it makes more sense and is intuitive.
- It doesn’t make more sense, it’s completely arbitrary (unlike my beloved Celsius and Kelvin which are merely somewhat arbitrary)
- It’s more intuitive because that’s what you grew up with
Those in the know use the Rankine scale
Not to be confused with the Rankin scale
Rankine is kelvin for fahrenheit? that’s funny
“we made a system of measurements that sucks ass that no one will use, as a joke”
Why did you say it isn’t intuitive, call the person that grew up with it through no personal choice of their own a dumbass, and then acknowledge that it is intuitive to them. Maybe you’re the dumbass?
<- You right nowYou’re a dumbass if you think your system is better because it’s “more intuitive”. Your system is only “more intuitive” because you grew up with it, if you had grown up with another system then that one would have been more intuitive. Thus making “more intuitive” as a determinant for wether a system is better pure dumbassery.
It’s not my system and I don’t use it regularly, all my stuff us set to Celsius but claiming it isn’t intuitive in the same argument where you acknowledge it’s intuitive to some people and call them a dumbass to boot makes you sound stupid and aggressive for no reason.
I think you need to work on your reading comprehension
Wikipedia says the surface of the sun is 5,772 K which is about 10,000 F.
Lion is hotter than the surface of the sun.
This agrees with my personal fan theory that Ash Ketchum wrote the pokedex himself. The pokedex is perfect and makes logical sense at all times.
Hope this helps.
Regular old mundane lightning here on earth is also hotter than the surface of the sun, so it’s not that wild. Although I think if it was that hot for very long it would be pretty catastrophic.
Lightning also functionally only exists for a fraction of a second (most of the time) and then its energy is dispersed. It’s like how sparks are also ridiculously hot, but they are tiny and fleeting so it doesn’t really effect anything. I think any stable entity that has lightning-like heat as just a base temperature is kind of incomparable in terms of impact, though I realize you already said that, but I guess my point is that this creature isn’t as hot as a lightning strike, it’s as hot as hundreds of successive lightning strikes on the same spot (and then the mega evo wears out, I guess).
and this pokemon doesnt exist at all, which is much less than a fraction of a second, so it can easily be hotter than lightning
I should have considered that because it doesn’t exist, it neither retains nor produces any heat at all and therefore should be an ice type. Perhaps ice/ghost, since ghosts don’t exist, or ice/dark because in Japanese dark type is “evil type” and moral values don’t exist . . . maybe it should have all three types, since Pokemon with three types don’t exist.
the least existing type of pokemon exists the most, yes
So, in our emerging field of Pokemon ontology, you would rate a Sound type Pokemon as existing more than a Fire type Pokemon because the Sound type, by virtue of not existing, exists less than the Fire type?
Would this constitute a sort of hypostatic union of existence and non-existence? If not, how would you define the Great Chain of Un-Being here? [i.e. the hierarchy of unreality that makes one unreal thing less real than another unreal thing]
Fun fact, we don’t have lbs in my country either, so when I was first exposed to the Red version pokédex as a kid and all the weights were in lbs I was like “what the heck is a libs?”
It would have been funny if they localized the English version for Britain rather than the US and all the weights were given in stones.
Behold, the SS Anne, at least 100 cubits long and weighing at least 50 stone, it gets over 5 barleycorn to a demiard of kerosene!
Yes but how many farthings can it cross in fortnight while taking the hobbits to Isengard?
Okay how many indian elephants is that though
The recently spotted ufo was 50 brunches wide and 2000 libs heavy.
ufo was 50
We are now reporting that the ufo was in fact 25
This indicates a problematic brunch gap.
We now believe that the ufo was suspected to be flying with their Rashomon generators turned on and eyewitness brunch widths are not to be trusted.
I like how his head is 炎
Yeah, clever
why can’t burgerlands be normal and use celsius
Celsius vs Fahrenheit is an example of everyone being wrong because KELVIN is the SI unit of temperature and it is the most useful unit because it also functions as an ominous Mayan-calendar style clock ticking down to the end of the universe
Kelvin is just celsius with a different baseline, thus making celsius good.
I’m afraid Celsius is officially defined by the kelvin, not the other way around
Because it makes the europeans mad.
but they’re also europeans, a few times removed
none of the ancestor countries want modern “i’m x% whatever” americans to move there. I’m cool with dying because i’m miserable regardless but that’s not going to work for most people.
I still remember when I three years ago made an effortpost about why americans should shut the fuck up with their weird “I’m from this country”-one-blood-drop-rule-bs. Made a lot of hexbears mad.
Do it again that sounds good
It does, I’m literally fuming

This is either the temperature of the surface of the sun or a particularly hot summer noon.
this is my dog. he can vaporize steel with his breath. he’s safe to pet tho
Probably named cupcake or something
Don’t remember if they’re all sfw/agreeable but the first few were fine. The beautiful mind of a 10 year old
wtf is up with the wartortle one lol
Gen4 dex entry according to Bulbapedia
It is said to live 10,000 years. Its furry tail is popular as a symbol of longevity.
Read the thread and I feel like I’m tripping, because I think I’ve read pretty much the exact same Fahrenheit/Celsius convo on this here website not that long ago, lol.
10 °C -> 50 °F
20 °C -> 68 °F
30 °C -> 86 °F
40 °C -> 104°F-40° C -> -40° F
575 K -> 575° F
hope this helps
It’s simple enough to just remember that a 10 degree difference in Celsius is an 18 degree difference in Fahrenheit.
Then you just need a single anchor point (like 10°C = 50°F) and the conversion is easy.
And when you see 18000°F, it’s approximately 10000°C. At such a high number the difference from converting accurately is miniscule.
18 000 F might as well be a billion F as it means nothing to me, just like inch and feet. wtf is a yard if not a backyard???
A yard is 3 feet, or 36 inches, or 1/1,760th of a mile. Makes perfect sense to me.
a yard is a circumcised meter
Sadly yards are forever a part of the American mind because an American football field is 100 yards (300 feet) long. And progress in the game is measured in yards.
That’s not a Pokemon it’s a dog dressed up
That ship sailed a long time ago
What did they do to him 🥀
