@freemo meh, plenty of us are proud to use royal feet over scientific meters because they just make more sense for the particular application.
We proudly use the better tool rather than following the crowd!
@volkris There is no application where it makes better sense unless you mean something that already uses that and therefore youjust dont have the choice (often the case)
@freemo as we apply measurements, we disagree :)
We find that, for example, inches are scaled far better for so many projects than cm or mm, in the same way that degrees F are scaled better for human application than degrees C or K.
When it comes down to something ranging in size from around a baseball up to a table leg--roughly human sized things--the royal feet units are simply more practical, so we prefer them.
They make more practical sense.
@m @volkris > Reading up on what Fahrenheit is based on: “0 Β°F, was established as the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride (a salt).”
Despite what the definition is based on I’d argue Fahrenheit is far more intuitive than Celsius as it is generally the tolerance of a human from 0 to 100.
Also not sure why the boiling of one chemical is any more or less sane than the boiling of another.
Also Celsius is not the primary temperature unit in metric, kelvin is.
I agree its about applicability. Water freezing is as arbitrary as brine freezing. If anythi g your argument about roads makes more sense for farenheight, we salt our roads, so f is when roads freeze at 0 not C, when salted.
Moreover 100c is useless i the real world, it never gets that hot. But 100F represents the limit of human comfort so it ia very much applicable.
Yes, well, Liberia and...*checks notes*...48 people spread out on a bunch of islands, agree with you for sure on this topic. π
