Socially Drinking At Computer

Me searching up "5 foot 4 inches in cm" every time someone posts their height because I don't know the imperial system and I definitely don't want to learn it

@mossy me searching up “183 cm in feet and inches” every time someone posts their height because I don’t know the metric system and I definitely don’t want to learn it

@arcana @mossy me being able to roughly convert lengths and weights because quick mafths but also never posting temperatures in celsius because it sucks

@prettygood @mossy it’s the smugness I can’t stand, acting like they’re superior for using it. It would be like feeling superior for knowing English because it has simpler grammatical gender

@arcana @prettygood @mossy metric is better so i underatand why they feel superior

@naaksit @arcana @mossy most metric units are. Grams, kilometers, liters, all good and valid, but celsius is not.

@naaksit @mossy @prettygood they are good for different things and either way, preserving and continuing to use traditional measurement systems is good for cultural preservation. There should be more measurement systems not less.

@prettygood @arcana @mossy 0 is and below is frozen water 100 and above is boiling water/ vapour.
just that simpul

@naaksit @prettygood @mossy 0F feels pretty cold, 100F feels pretty hot

0C feels fairly cold, 100C dead

@naaksit @arcana @mossy 0F is human-very-cold and 100F is human-very-hot. I live in a space outside of a science lab.

Let's not even get into the fact you need decimals to have any sort of precision with celsius either. The difference between 65F and 70F is huge but its probably 1 degree celsius

@naaksit @mossy @prettygood Also, boiling water isn’t that simple, and it’s why kettles don’t rely on thermometers to detect when water is boiled. Things like pressure also affect the boiling temperature of water.

@prettygood @naaksit @mossy Home measurements vs science measurements

@arcana @mossy I don't know either I am ungovernable

>The difference between 65F and 70F is huge but its probably 1 degree celsius

You could have just checked before posting, you know? It's around 3 degrees celsius difference. And literally nobody uses decimals for celsius in everyday measurements lmao.

@affine @arcana @naaksit @mossy >You could have just checked before posting, you know?

Why, when some smug celsiusier is going to do it for me? 💚

@prettygood @arcana @naaksit @mossy fuck, played like a fiddle sadcat
