difference between a 10C and a 13C day is not really all that relevant
Sure, but that's due to environmental factors
I'd care if my fridge jumped 10 degrees all of a sudden
sure but this whole talk was based on human perception of temperature
in the first place
that chart listed 0F as really cold, 100 as really hot
Yeah, and I like that part of our scale
I just outright disagree with 0F being useful at all
But the reason why I'm happy it's not mapped from -20 to 120 on the 0 to 100 scale
Is because I think the size of the step is about as small as I'd want
honestly, we should just report temperature in half degrees
Yeah
Let's go from 0 to 1
With a bunch of decimal places
oh lol I just meant
instead of saying it is 35C out say it is 35.5C out
to satisfy the "but Fahrenheit is more granular" argument
But then you've added 10 steps in between
I think the solution
Would be no decimals
Just say 35 1/2
I mean
that is the same thing
No it's not
35.5 implies there's a 35.4 and 35.6
no it doesn't
why not just
35b
I'm ok with that too
how does 1/2 not imply the existence of 1/4 etc
by that same metric
That's not how mixed numbers work
or maybe 35+
At least how we learned them
You can't change the denominator
maybe the disconnect is, I have not used mixed numbers since like grade 2
because they are worthless
35 and a half
sure but mentally I just take that as 35.5
I don't think of the 1/2 as seperate
1/2 is an expression not a number
35 and two quarters
...
Implies there are 3 steps between numbers
two quarters?
35 2/4
I don't like this retard math
if it's two quarters you can just say
35 50 cent
pirates' solved it
i think the real solution is simpler though
Honestly, that fixes the problem
We need to use rappers as our unit of measurement
just have it be 350 and 355
define hot objectively
say its 40C
then all temperatures are percentage hot
oh its 54% out today
now you know its a bit past half of being hot
Have you ever looked into % humidity pika
I know of it
Or the "feels like" temperature
its super fucking humid her a lot of the time
Weather science is retarded all the way down
childhood nostalgia or recent movie no one's seen?
wait
