[QUOTE=AtomicSans;52679227]I'm 100% on board with metric but Celsius is actually just straight-up worse than Fahrenheit in 9/10 usage cases. Fahrenheit for weather and Kelvin for science until I die.[/QUOTE] Fahrenheit is fucking dumb. "Let's set zero to a brine solution of equal parts ice and salt." That makes way more sense than just using water as your metric. How is it worse than Fahrenheit? By being more widely used? By being updated to match modern methods of measurement? It's like saying "I'm 100% on board with metres, but kilograms are actually straight up worse than pounds in 9/10 usage cases." You're talking bollocks mate. Canada doesn't even use Fahrenheit, you switched to Celsius in the early 70s.

Mega Man Legends 3 would not have been the big system seller that made the 3DS. It wouldn't have ever come close to that.
unironically thinking N Korea is a great nation & anything that suggests otherwise is imperialist propaganda

People who don't flush the toilet after themselves. like how do you think it's alright to leave a big ass dookie in the toilet and walk away

When different websites have different hotkeys for the same thing. Eg. in Facepunch(and other vBulletin sites) it's Alt+S to send a post/PM/visitor message. In GMail it's Ctrl+Enter. Still elsewhere I've seen Alt+P. It's obnoxious because I always default to Alt+S.

Youtube keeps giving me notifications about my subscriptions uploading new videos but turning off the notifications doesn't actually turn them off.
My hair curls when it gets a little long, but then when I cut it my head looks like an egg. I don't know what to do with my hair.
When people sitting with me start laughing at something and when asked what was funny, saying it was nothing. I hate being left out of a joke.
people telling me what to do/im doing it wrong when im the one thats supposed to be helping them at that point i say figure it out yourself
When I'm shaving my beard and am constantly fighting to try and keep it symmetrical and just keep whittling away at what I got until I end up with less beard than I wanted :v:

[QUOTE=_Axel;52680150]I don't see why though?[/QUOTE] I'm late to the party but here's my reasoning The most common temperatures that occur in weather range from about 50 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, I'd say. That's a range of 40 degrees. Since we naturally divide ranges of numbers into tens, that gives us four general categories of temperatures with which to describe the weather. "Oh, it's supposed to hit high 80s today." You know exactly what that temperature means. Celsius, on the other hand, smushes that entire range into about 22 degrees, giving it only two groupings of ten and making it more difficult to process what temperature someone means when they toss out something like "around 20 degrees Celsius." That's a surprisingly large range of temperatures that person could be referring to. To be clear: I think Fahrenheit is more usable when describing the weather, and that's basically it. It's garbage at everything else. But 90% of the times someone talks about temperature, it's being used to describe weather, so it's a huge use case. Yes, Fahrenheit is hilariously nonsensical and Celsius lines up with the rest of the SI units beautifully, but it's more usable.

My dynamic IP hates me.[/QUOTE] Average range of 22 degrees Celsius? Western countries have more of a 40°C range.
[QUOTE=_Axel;52698054]Average range of 22 degrees Celsius? Western countries have more of a 40°C range.[/QUOTE] I live in a weird place so it makes sense that my estimate is way off but my point still stands. Celsius smushes too much range of temperature into too few units.
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;52698067]I live in a weird place so it makes sense that my estimate is way off but my point still stands. Celsius smushes too much range of temperature into too few units.[/QUOTE] Eh, a 1°C difference isn't really noticeable, so I'd say that's a granular enough unit. Your point would be like saying feets and inches are better for height than meters because the average range is 2 feets and 0.6 meters. People who use Celsius just naturally divide ranges into parts that are smaller than 10°C, it's not exactly an issue.
people who take a fucking hour to make a car turn like no, a car will not skid and spiral out of control if you do a turn slightly faster and people who don't use blinkers, fuck them, fuck them straight to hell
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;52698067]I live in a weird place so it makes sense that my estimate is way off but my point still stands. Celsius smushes too much range of temperature into too few units.[/QUOTE] No, it really doesn't. The range of temperature in any temperate climate country goes from roughly -10 to 50 celsius. I think you're just being biased because you grew up with the Fahrenheit system, you said it yourself: "Fahrenheit is hilariously nonsensical", like a lot of American traditions, you're just sticking to it because it's what you're used to and not what makes the most sense.

Fahrenheit is decimal so it's fine. [editline]19th September 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Deri101;52698097]No, it really doesn't.

[QUOTE=Populus89;52698096]people who take a fucking hour to make a car turn[/QUOTE] This to an extent. Turning in a neighborhood? It's cool. Not going when you probably could've? Not a problem. Blocking traffic in a one-lane road because you need to make a left turn? It's the city's fault, not yours. Going 5 mph while we're turning from the turning lane at a stoplight? Fuck you, but I can just pass you if it's a two-lane road because my car goes 10 to 30 way quicker than you'll go 10 to 11. Taking half an hour to get into a turn lane while you're actively slowing down and the speed limit is like 45 mph? [highlight]Fuck you.[/highlight] I hope you're ready for me to floor it as I pass you to get back up to the speed limit so that just [I]maybe[/I] you'll hear my car and realize how annoying you are. I'm okay with stopping and waiting, I'm not okay with people going slow as fuck while I'm forced to be behind them.
What's with people who look super alt, but when you get to know them they turn out to be actually super basic and into the most normie music and culture stuff??? posers reeeeeeee
