Because it is in the middle of that "0 is really really cold, 100 is really really hot" "human feeling" fahrenheit scale you guys keep going on about.

It literally was not.

Their friend is a dumbass though.

geographically unique

Geographically perhaps. But the cultural and historical unique is something you are going to miss out on by staying inside your own home country for your entire life. You think your US regional differences are the same as the differences between two countries, but anyone who has experienced different countries will tell you in an instant that that is not so.

It doesn't really though for people who doesn't use fahrenheit.

without having to use decimals

This fear of decimals is a strictly American thing. Celsius achieves more precision with decimals than fahrenheit without decimals. And this American fear of decimals is pretty funny, considering you will happily do advanced fractions as soon as you are doing length measurements.

To me the difference between 200cm and 220 is literally fuck all. You ask me the difference between 4 ft and 6ft and i can pretty quickly tell you.

To you. But you are aware that this is not the case for people (almost the rest of the world) who are using metric, right?

It is intuitive because you are used to it.

Also isn't 101 also really really hot? Or what about 99? And how about 1, isn't that also really really cold? It is an arbitrary frame of reference you have set up in an attempt to make a non-intuitive system more easily accesible.

It’s not whataboutism to point out the accusing side doing the exact same thing, that is simply called pointing out hypocrisy.

It is literally the definition of whataboutism, you muppet.

She seems to understand it better than you.

Cool. Then you get what you want, because this is exactly what tiktok is.

Metric nations havent kept the pint

It is funny how easy it is to spot monolingual Americans attempting to write like non-native English speakers.

It has nothing to do with "opposing ideologies", it is how you are behaving like toxic assholes 100% of the time.

Nah, it is just a lot of hexbear alt accounts like yourself on your disingenously labeled "reasonable" side.

What a disingenous comment. Having two accounts of two defederated instances makes even more sense than having them on two federated instances.

It is an inherent part of US life. But the rest of the world is proving that it is definitely not part of life in general.

Still doesn't make any sense at all. Is she suffering from some sort of eating disorder?
