general

yeah

and its symmetric

unlike going from 0 to 100

so 0 is considered the breaking point where you go from fall weather to winter weather

below 0 is winter/ late fall

above 0 is spring/summer

it all makes sense

I cannot understand Fahrenheit at all

72 means nothing to me

my favorite thing about fahrenheit is that my ideal room temperature of 21 celsius is 69 fahrenheit

idk how much above freezing 72 F is

idk why americans like to pretend that the freezing point of water is not a natural, intuitive scale

that effects everyday life

and 100 being boiling for water is also a nice round number

instead of 212F

32F is the freezing point of water

0F means don't go outside it's too cold. 100F means don't go outside it's too hot.

yeah, like i said, fahrenheit is the human body temperature scale

but 0F is not that cold

What the fuck are you talking about 0F is really fucking cold

-17 is the "wear a coat" level of cold

don't go out is -30 and down

Pika 72 means you are at 72% heat

0 is you are at 0%

but thats not true

Freezing just so happens to be 32%

-17 is not 0% heat

it is chilly

its negative heat

its not "do not go out" cold

but -5 to -20 is the range where I wear a winter coat

instead of just a hoodie

to be fair pika, americans tend to not be able to handle temperatures below 0 celsius because they aren't adapted to it

also true

unless they're alaskans

here in canada, we get -40 to 40

regularly

so we get the full gambit

most days fall in -30 to 30, with a few days of of the year in the extremes of both

normalize using kelvin tbh

Kelvin is Celsius's nerdy little brother.

the nice thing is, Kelvin makes just as much sense as Celsius because it is the same scale just shifted

shifted the start from the freezing point of water to the absolute coldest point

lets use Rankine

491.67 °R is the freezing point of water

now thats based

we should create a new scale that is not based on anything scientific or precise and is based on feeling instead

where 1 is impossibly cold

and 10 is melting

The empathy scale

feels like 6 empathy out here today

i got a nice 6.9 empathy going on over here

shit

the empathy scale is just fahrenheit but divided by 10

Fire damn you

Im going to base my system on the boiling and freezing point of a random liquid.

empathy scale is you hard set 0 to 0 celcius, -15 to 0 kelvin, 501 to 100 ferenhiet, 1005 to 10 billion rankine

good luck

water is not a random liquid

which is why celcius is based

yeah based on water not people

people are mostly water

people are random which is why fahrenheit doesn't work

its super people>content

Pika’s too fat to be judging tolerable temperatures with any accuracy

Idk, if he keeps walking daily, that could change

Cold weather might start to matter

How much padding he has in his chair

How much support he no longer needs from a bra

I usually wear a hoodie and an unzipped winter coat until about -30 anyways

then I just zip up my coat

I like the argument about 0 to 100, but I also appreciate that a single degree Fahrenheit is perceptible

Celsius just seems less granular

I don't think it actually is, I think you just believe it is. Can you really tell the difference between a 76 day and a 77 day

My room is 70 degrees, and I will feel it when it hits 68

So that's 1-1.5 degrees

Outside, it's all about sunlight, humidity, etc.

I mean, within like 2-3 degrees celcius I can tell its coler/hotter than usual, just I can't tell you its "1 degree hotter"
