If you're not wiping at all, even once at the end, that's disgusting. A bidet isn't sufficient by itself

It’s weird, I thought of it like leaning back & forward to make it intuitive

That's exactly what it's live and it's exactly why it's intuitive and why when games came out, it was the standard.

But IRL if you’re physically pointing at one spot and want to move your point of aim up and to to the right for instance, you move your hand up and to the right,

But you're not pointing in the games. You're moving the view/camera. So to LOOK up and right (as opposed to point), you lean back and roll to the left

It only has inverting of 1 axis, not both.

I had to hack it in steam's controller remapping. But that shouldn't be necessary, just provide the completely normal option.

That would depend on personal preference. Somewhere around the 70-80 mark most likely.

You're assuming humans have no preference for it being hot or cold. That's the only way 50% would make more sense. But most people prefer it warm

That’s pretty much all they have.

Except for all the good things biden has done. https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone/comments/11lohnc/what_biden_has_done_year_three_year_one_two_are/

This is true for a lot of other cases too. People live with chronic conditions because they either don't know that it's an issue and there's treatment, or they sought treatment and there wasn't any help at the time, and since then there have been new drugs release

I’m making the case that your “human environmental temperature” is a shit reason to pick Fahrenheit because we have all these things that surprisingly don’t conform to it. So you’ll have to go outside the 0-100 range anyway. So you won’t get any “benefit” from it, even when the “benefit” was dubious to begin with.

It's better to pick the scale that does conform to it for the vast majority of applications, and then just deal with the others. Either by using C or just dealing with it. For every 1 time you need to deal with temps of your computer, you'll interact with the environmental temperature a thousand times. And neither C or F are inherently better for describing CPU temps.

Wait till you see international ovens and cooking manuals. It’s gonna blow your mind.

Oh, I forgot to pull out my cooking manual. Yeah C is MUCH better.

And 20-30 is more meaningful to me than 68-86. That’s it.

Of course it is, because 68-86 is just the translation. No one would actually use that range. But that's my whole point, 60-70 and 70-80 are better, more meaningful ranges

Yes I mistyped 80vs86.

Oh, thought you were being sarcastic.

But are you seriously saying you can't tell the difference between 68 and 86? That's absolutely absurd

I’m imagining your place as just filled with coats

Yes I live in San Francisco, I have several coats.

and thermometers

My thermostat and my phone. So "full"

They kinda are though lol.

Not really. Explain what you do differently in -10F temperatures that you wouldn't do in 0F temperatures in normal life. I don't want to hear about how you would choose a different sleeping bag or prepare your snow shoes differently or some shit. When your day consists of commuting to work, going to the grocery store, then going home, what meaningful difference do any values below 0F have.

But what about sauna. What about it?

What about really cold weather.

What about it?

What about cooking.

What about it?

Hell, what about my PC.

What about it?

What about when I have a fever

This is actually the perfect example. Above 100 is a fever. Below is fine

What about really hot weather

What about it?

The temperatures are about much more than the fuzzy idea about normal-ish weather in certain places on earth.

Not in 99% of how people use the temperature.

And your examples of cooking and your PC are not what we're talking about. We're talking about human environmental temperature. But in fact, cooking is another good use for F. You generally only care about a few specific temps. 350F and 400F. Anything else is nuance but basically only matter on the 25 degree marks. So 375, 425. It's actually a pretty great scale for cooking, with broiling generally maxing out at 500 (unless you're talking very specific application, like pizza ovens or some shit)

If you read the discussion that you were actually having to me, we were obviously talking about 20-30c, which is 68-86F. And it was mentioned several times in this thread. And the context of my reply made it abundantly clear I meant 68-86

Cope harder. F is objectively better for environment. C is objectively better for scientific calculation

I WILL die on this hill. But preference is just what you do with the information, not the usefulness of the scale. 0-100 is the scale. Whether you wear jackets at 50-60 or 60-70 doesn't mean that the scale isn't objectively better.

Yes, 68 to 80 are somewhat similar. I obviously meant 68-86.

But 68-80 IS similar, and it's exactly why F is better, because we have the 70-80 band. But that's exactly the point, 68 and 86 are NOT similar temps, hence being in separate 80-90 band.

Yes, negative numbers exist, and numbers beyond 100. But they're not that important. 0 is basically the lowest temperature that matters in day to day life. If it's colder, you don't do anything different unless you're preparing for an outdoor adventure. Same with 100. 100 is the hottest temperature that makes a difference. Beyond 100 it only matters if you're preparing for an outdoor adventure. The 100 degree scale is about describing the normal range that humans interact with their environment in. Even if it can get extreme beyond that, that doesn't mean the 0-100 scale isn't useful.

Are percentages too hard for you?

20-30c is a cool shortcut that F doesn’t really have.

What kind of shortcut? 68-80 are so massively different. Even if 68 is shorts and t-shirt for you, that means 86 is "uncomfortably hot". And even if 68 is t-shirt weather, it means at night it's going to drop probalby 10 degrees. So 68 is "tshirt weather right now, but bring a jacket", and 86 is "tshirt weather but leave the jacket at home". and the 10 degree bands of F are perfect for that. 60s is "cool, may or may not require a jacket depending on your preference". 70s is "nice right now but prepare for cool when the sun goes down", 80s is "warm, don't bring a jacket", etc.

So sure, we don't have the "20-30c" shortcut (again, way too big to be useful). We have EVERY 10 degree band as a shortcut

0°F is shorts weather for some

Only for those with medical issues or those being obstinate. It's not a relevant data point when trying to agree on a scale. 99.9% of people will agree 0F = cold as fuck.

There are hundreds of millions of people who see negative double digits every year

So? The difference between 0F and -10F and -25F aren't THAT significant. The VAST majority of people will treat those temperatures as similar unless they're preparing for an outdoor adventure or something. But the difference between 65 and 75 is HUGE to most people that WILL impact how they prepare for interacting with the environment.

For daily use all temperature scales are arbitrary. Why not use one that’s useful?

This is just not accurate and is pure cope. A scale that's 0-100 for the most important temperatures that humans interact with is an objectively good scale. With 10 degree bands that align pretty well to general human comfort and indicate the type of preparation required. Sure, some people might consider 60s t-shirt weather, but the point is the band is still relevant. 60-70, 70-80, 80-90. Those are useful, meaningful temperature ranges where the temperature inside those bands is similar enough

What do negative numbers have to do with anything? -1F = cold as fuck

Explain how interacting with ovens and freezers requires knowledge of the specific temperature at which water freezes or boils at standard conditions
