Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

I don’t like it.

Why on earth people have to use it ??? :hoonh:

Celsius is the scale for measuring temprature, and it makes perfect sense.

Like in my city , temprature goes from 0 to 50 degree celsius. So its easy. Zero means freezing points of water, 50 means boiling point of blood. :devil:

Now when i see the temp at yahoo or cnn they show it in Fahrenheit always :grumpy:

The temprature makes no sense in this scale. Stupid people.

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

Not only that, the Movie was also crap. Friggin Michael Moore.

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

It's a more accurate index of temperature at any given time..more broken down and granular..

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

lol, having grown up with farenheit, what is the deal with celcius? Geez, had a perfect working system then someone comes along and now it is unmanagable.

Like we had a perfectly good Bible and then someone came along and now we got Quran :D

Ah, don't hate people, I am laughing as I write this, loosen up a bit and glory in the world that offers two views even on the temperature.

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

Yeah, the movie, waste of time :nook:

Something with that name, Fahrenheit… makes stupid things popular :halo:

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

Minah-pa , it is a stupid scale. In my view :stuck_out_tongue:

see when it is around zero you are ready freeze, so it is perfectly relative to something we are very familiar with i.e water. and in Fahrenheit its 32 ! why , what it means if temp is 17 or 77 ?? it is greek for me :confused:

Now in system international of units (SI) there is kelvin (official scale for temprature). No body knows about it( it is technical like -273 absolute zero) , so we dont use it. But celcius is perfect scale and makes lot of sense for real world.

zero = ice , 100 = boiling water. simple

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

lol, right but 80degrees farenheit is summer but look now, it's 26.667celcius -- That's freezing!!!!

14Farenheit is (-10celcius) - that is too darn cold!!!

Give me nice numbers like farenheit.....

Hey, this site is awesome…

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

Celicus is not used anymore :rolleyes: its centigrade or grate or hatever :rolleyes: duh :rolleyes:

plus i agree :rolleyes:

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

i dont like the celcius scale.
fahrenheit rocks! the movie sucked!

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

imagine how confused I am…I was born and brought up using celcius…Then was exposed to farenheit got used to it and after 5 yrs of using it was put back to celsius again…well as of now i don’t like either farenheit or celcius…d’ouh :frusty:

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

CR,
LOL,:)..do you know,..Fahrenheit is the only scale which is more accurate than Celsius,…I used to have Hard time just like you,..but now actually I am used to of it.

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

Yes… Amreeka always needs its own dairh eent ki masjid…

The US signed the "Treaty of the Meter" in 1875 along with all the major industrialized nations, and in fact it was the country to have the metric currency (100 cents = $1)… yet it has still resisted the implementation of the actual system.
Mr. Jefferson is partly to blame. He was afraid that the adoption of the metric system would give France too much influence because they were the main driving force behind its adoption in Europe.

I guess the U.S. is slowly moving towards partial adoption… in 1991, Bush Sr. signed an order that made anyone who worked for him or a federal agency use the metric system. I guess they’ll be in deeper shyte by 2009 when all products sold in Europe will be labeled ONLY in metric units.

Yes... more useless facts

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

I doubt it will be too bad though Umar, everything is double labeled to begin with.

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

The one thing thats most common and essential to all life is water. Therefore it only makes sense to have a scale that runs parallel to the properties of water.

0 degrees Celcius/Centigrade is the temp at which water freezes
100 degress Celcius/Centigrade is the temp at which water boils.

0 and 100 are far more easier to remember and calculate than 32 and 212.

The celsius scale also runs parallel to the Kelvin scale (1 degree change in C = 1 degree change in K). Kelvin really is better and more complete than both celcius and fahrenheit.

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

78.8f = 26c = 299.15K

in science where extreme temps are a norm, this scale is fine, but when I hear a weather forecast, I don't want to hear "it is 299.15K out there folks, spring is here"... How weird :)

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

that’s the thing… with Europe moving to a single labeling scheme by 2009 where the mandate is to ONLY use metric scale, there certainly would be additional investment required by the U.S. in order to have compliant exports and localized imports.

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

And for that very reason 26 is more pleasing to the ear than 79.. if you insist on using smaller numbers.

Re: Fahrenheit - The most stupid scale

You're right, just not what I'm used to is all
