Well, that’s a dangerous place for a cat to be sitting.
88 degrees is also almost boiling water temperature. Overall a bad time to be a cat.
probably fahrenheit
fartwhat? /j
Definitely Fahrenheit, I’m just out here fighting American centricity on the internet by being annoying and pedantic. The USA is the only country, besides some islands and territories, to use Fahrenheit for outdoor temperature, the rest of us moved on to more civil units of measurement.
Equally peeves me that people often say “Canada” (no, Canada is big, it was Manitoba) or “Europe” (you can say “Portugal”, we actually did learn geography). But “Arizona”? Go right ahead, of course we should all know US states by heart, because the USA is the centre of the world!
i feel the need to clap back at your pedantry with more pedantry, Arizona is 3.2 times bigger than Portugal. there are only 11 US states smaller than Portugal (out of 50)
also F is the superior outside temp measurement and that is the only place where imperial is better in any way. it’s better because 0° is really cold (but safe with a coat) and 100° is really hot (but safe)
all that being said I do agree, American centrism is annoying… guess the banana coups and military bases everywhere and whatnot really paid off huh?
I’ve been thinking about your comment lately, you’re correct that Arizona is physically larger, but Portugal has a larger population, so they should still be on equal footing.
Regarding Fahrenheit… I’m sorry, I can’t see it. Living in Canada, all I care about are two things: when is my tea ready, and when is it going to freeze outside. I can give up having a round number for a fever (37.7°C, which we know by heart as also being the threshold for “hot” in air or liquid temperature) and for a… mixture of ice, ammonium chloride and salt at 0°F? Today I learned.
Bref, I still don’t see the purpose of Fahrenheit for my life since it’s really important for us Canadians to know the freezing point of water so we can bring in things that are frost sensitive, and it’s an excellent point of reference to be able to tell how far on and on which side of the freezing scale a specific temperature may be. Maybe if you lived in Arizona, Fahrenheit may be more useful?
hahaha! i thought I didn’t actually press send on that comment, idk I have a habit of dying on hills that are entirely unimportant. I just left the US for the first time in my life with a one way ticket… I’m out of there and so ready to be proved wrong on anything tbh
i really do think F is better for air temp but I’m sure i could adapt to C, and will not deny C is better for science. makes much more sense to attach it to states of water same w liters/kg etc
But doesn’t the angle of the rocking chair continuously change?
