My understanding is that the reason the USA does it exclusively differently is because of the USA founding fathers wanting to make a point of independance. We saw this in currency, units of measurement, their dictionary etc.

USA are just backwards with any form of measurement lol

I just have to point a few things out.

1.) The chart comparison is 3 units of distance and one unit of weight on the US side, 2 units of distance and two units of weight on the other side. The US does have more that two units of weight, believe it or not.

2.) F and C are two different units of measuring temperature for two different purposes, but they're not the only units of measuring temperature. Also, who decided that the arbitrary temperature at which C is measured as zero was a "logical" base? F has a zero too you know, and it's the logical base for that unit of measurement as well.

3.) The whole of the rest of the world does not use D/M/Y, and the US is not the only country that uses M/D/Y.

That chart is :

A.) Not really funny.

B.) Inaccurate, biased, and uses intentionally leading words to describe the units of measurement that imply one arbitrary set of rules is more or less correct than any other.

Someone seems pissed on that post. I lol'd a lot tbh.

Well from 0 °C on downwards, water starts to freeze... seems logical to me.

People should start to just chill and not take anything serious, at least not in this thread lol.

I'm not upset, it's also not logical. Basing a unit of measurement on the temperatures at which a single element freezes and boils is incredibly arbitrary. It's not any more "logical" than basing 0 at where F or K bases zero, it just feels that way because someone decided for you it was the logical choice, because someone else says it the logical base.

1.) Water is one of many elements in the universe. The only thing C is more "logical" for is measuring the temperature of water.

2.) If we're using temps at which an element freezes and boils, why not Hydrogen? It's the base element from which all elements are created as well as being the most abundant element in the universe.

What so ever man.. I still think it has more logic in it than what you are talking about.

Think whatever you want, it doesn't make it true. C and F are both random units of measurement based on random values determined by factors that have nothing to do with logic beyond the fact that one is better at measuring the temperature of water than the other. Or at least that one uses the temperatures at which water freeze and boils as its base values.

Hey Buzzkill, why don't you relax and let people make fun of stuff for the purposes of humor? Unless it is physically painful for you to see hyperbole displayed in graph form, I don't see the point. These boards have enough negativity without you nitpicking the jokes too.

Let's all just use Kelvins and stfu <_<

...water is not an element.
I'm just going to stop there.

Looks like someone just got schooled..

2 things.

1) Celsius uses Water as the base form of measurement because it is the most common construct used in all currently known forms of life.

2.) Base 10 forms of measurements meet the global mathematics standard that is shared even in US culture.

Regardless of what does and does not use which form, there is no point, in this stage of development of our global civilization, for us to be using multiple standards of description. Not in something as basic as math and measurement.

And yes, it was funny. US is the sometimes funny, sometimes drunken, sadly self-absorbed cousin of the world. This is speaking as a proud citizen of it. It's not bad that we're made light of. Heck, we do it to other countries all the time too.

Made of win lol

lol 0 C makes much more sense than 0 F. 0 Celcius is the temperature at which water freezes. But a good ol Canadian winter has one temp they can both agree on -40.

this thread is hilarious

Happy Holidays!

Year of the Fem Roes?

Kagato approves greatly.

Not more correct. Simply logical versus illogical. And it's true.

Oh hey, that silly post sparked a more entertaining "fight" over the weekend. . . . Thank you beer!

We tolerate it better than some countries, thankfully. I hope we can transition over to metric faster than we have been.

Okay, I wondered where you where going with that, but I snorted my tea out my nose when the abandon thread bit came up. Love it!

Let me check...
Thunder...Aero...stone.....fire...blizzard... hmm... Holy... nope, no water.
So C lose, F is better.

and yalm is making more sense, never heard of yard or meter...

Almost 100 pages! Keep the memes coming!

The only thing that would have made this better would be having the "ABANDON THREAD!!!" bit flashing red

A Buster Sword, Heaven's Eye Materia IV, and Cretified Matter shatter before Cloud Strife.
