   Try looking at your couch and guessing how many centimeters long it is.

   It's like 3 meters bro.
   
   I can never understand Americans talking about the weather OH DAMN IT'S 20 ITS FREEZING. Water freezes at 0 though so that sounds pretty warm to me.
   
   How do you calculate a boiling point? I don't get it.

   But yeah when people are like “god damn it’s fucking cold out here it’s -40 degrees out” I’m like “Celsius or Fahrenheit moron???”

   the temp is much more precise so it's better
   
   
   when weights get too small we just use metric on the fly
   
   
   which is the best way to do it and why everyone does to an extent
   
   it's like being bilinigual, having multiple systems is more holistic even if not 100% necessary

    One doesn't, but one does borrows words from other languages that have no direct translation when it's fulfills a practical purpose
    
    all the time
    
    just like I don't really know the entire metric system by heart, but I know it well enough to get the job done when I need it the most

    -40 is C
    
    -40 F would be like... something retarded because Americans are all stupid

    5cm is easy to imagine. Just imagine the size of your dick.

    You're a moron. -40c and -40f are roughly the same.

    That's even more retarded. Just use celcius if its the same.

    They’re not roughly the same they’re exactly the same, that was the joke.

    It’s only the same at that temperature. Every other temperature measurement from zero kelvin up they have different values

    Fahrainheit had it's purpose back in the day. Coldest temperature they were able to record was 0. Then they used the temperature of pigs blood for 100. Which makes sense to use.

    If it’s comparable to human blood, that’s actually pretty close to Fahrenheit
