They put security tags that would go off if someone walked out the store without paying on what looks like butter. They usually only put those kind of tags on high value items like electronics or stuff people try to steal often. So either the store thinks a lot of people want to steal butter, or people really are stealing butter of all things and the store is responding.

#8 I remember this being a bit longer, things about; cutting their hair with an old hunting knife and getting a perfect salon style, never needing moisturizer, never needing a bath/shower (though that can apply to some men too). It's why The Last of Us feels accurate; people look thin from lack of food, they are dirty, their clothes are patched, worn, and cheap, and they talk about needing a shower/bath

Nobody is going to fight you, the question isn't literal it's used to ask about the lack of wider effects acting on an isolated variable produces. Knowing the egg came before the chicken is great, not understanding the question in context is stupid.

#15 Fahrenheit is not how people feel. Anything between -18°C (0°F) and 0°C (32°F) is how frozen food feels. This range equates to human numbness, not human feelings. And 38°C (100°F) is where things START getting hot. So don't come at me with that bullshit. It's some arbitrary scale based on some briny ammonium chloride solution, not human experience. Like the Mercator Projection, temperatures below 0°C are inventions of the Northern Hemisphere trying to keep the global South under their thumb.

Yeah, Farenheit is how people feel IF they grew up using it. To anyone outside the US it makes absolutely no sense.

3 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

If Fahrenheit were truly "how people feel" then 50°F would be room temperature, a nice comfortable, middle-of-the-road sort of temperature. Instead, left exposed to a 50°F ambient temperature environment, a person suffers from hypothermia. None of our temperature scales are based on how people feel.

Man, I'm too New England for your scale - I call the outside world a wash when it hits 90°F (32°C) By the time it hits 100, I'm fucking done. Then again, I used to regularly shovel snow in a t-shirt - maybe a windbreaker if it was under 20°F( 7 under "Fuck That"°AUS), so I have a feeling that we might just have incompatible views on what is and isn't "human" temperatures.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Aside from perhaps Planck units (or similar), all of our units are arbitrary nonsense that just made sense to someone at some point. Unlike most of the metric system, Celsius doesn't really provide any actual utility over Fahrenheit, except feeling "more logical" to people who haven't actually thought their feelings through. Having the freezing point of water under specific conditions set to 0 and the boiling point of water under specific conditions set to 100 isn't actually important.

As a Swede I agree that there is no objective mechanical advantage yo either Celsius or Farenheit over the other. However beyond mechanics Celsius is still objectively better because it is a Swedish scale

3 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Having the freezing point at 0 is objectively useful anywhere that experiences snow and ice (and if nothing else, for fridge thermometers). It is immediately clear whether things are freezing or melting.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

Expressing the freezing point of water as 0 or 32 makes no difference to the ability of a thermometer marked with the respective units to convey that information to an observer.

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 3

That's true for any arbitrary point someone gets used to. For me, it is perfectly clear that 32 is the magic number, but that 0 is around where salting sidewalks isn't that effective. No, really, ice salts lower the melting point, but most don't work in negative Fahrenheit. That's also part of why the train system near me sands their outdoor stations, rather than (maybe alongside?) salting. Gritty sand provides grip even if the temperature is too cold for salts to prevent freezing.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

Fun fact on this. Salting roads is, as far as I am aware, a relatively new phenomenon. But, 0 degrees Fahrenheit was defined by the lowest temperature the dude who invented the scale could get before a brine (salt+water) solution would freeze. So this epic relationship is mostly happenstance, but very useful.

While this is mostly true in everyday use, both Celsius and Fahrenheit are now defined in terms of Kelvin. Given that, and that Fahrenheit includes a conversion factor that Celsius doesn't, it would be simpler to discard Fahrenheit. Then we just have an "absolute range" label and an "everyday use range" label. Fahrenheit and Celsius cover similar ranges and have similar precisions, so other than historical inertia there's no reason to keep supporting both.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It would be even simpler to discard both Fahrenheit and Celsius and use one system all the time.

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Celsius and Kelvin effectively *are* one system now, it's just that if you use the offset, it has one label and if you don't, it has the other. The offset is a pretty basic UI consideration, just like we don't usually measure altitude from the centre of the earth.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The offset isn't doing anything important, so just get rid of it. Trying to justify Celsius by way of Kelvin is bizarre because there's really no reason other than historical inertia to keep using Celsius.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

No, Celsius has the same steps as Kelvin, it is Kelvin with an offset so to speak. Whereas Fahrenheit is some weird prussian gobbledigook from yesteryear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

If you don*t see the advantage of having your unit of measurement directly linked to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_constant that's on you not me.

Oh yeah. Your Wikipedia link uses Rankine, BTW. The °R in some of the values is degrees rankine. So yes, farenheit has the same relationships that celcius has.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

Fahrenheit is also directly linked to the Boltzmann constant, and also the plank constant, and also the frequency of a cesium-133 atom. Celcius and Kelvin share the same relationships. Because each of them are arbitrary scales that describe the same fundamental relation. Celcius was chosen to reflect water. Kelvin was chosen to reflect celcius (celcius is around a century older if I recall right). Fahrenheit was chosen for weird reasons, but with 180 degrees of separation between freezing 1/?

It’s because you tried to bring reason to an emotional screech fest on the internet. It’s not even about being right or wrong in this instance it’s their refusal to see things from another perspective. For what it’s worth I understood what you were trying to say.

Dude's Wikipedia link even uses Rankine, which is the farenheit scale but shifted 460 degrees so absolute zero is at 0. Literally the same relationship Kelvin and Celcius have.
