The same can be said for 'football Vs soccer'.

And metric vs imperial (with the exceptions of about three small countries in Africa and Asia, the UK (which uses both systems interchangeably), and NASA).

Most of Europe including anyone in UK under 60, Asia, Japan, China, Australia. People in engineering and science.

Not many use Fahrenheit.

I prefer Farenheit for weather and celsius for everything else.

0 being "really fuckin cold outside" and 100 being "really fuckin hot outside" has a natural intuitiveness. But when you're cooking or doing science or engineering, normalizing your scale around the phases of water is a lot more handy.

I'm from Sydney, Australia and 0°C is "really fuckin cold outside"! For us anyway lol.

Probably not as -17c (0F) is not "Really fucking cold outside".

I hate that Fahrenheit was taught at school. It was just one more formula to learn. Today I know only because of the US.

Fahrenheit for anything other than ovens feels so wrong haha (I am canadian)

On that note, other parts of the world what unit of measurement do you use for ovens?

We use Celsius like for everything else

Celsius for your ovens? In canada we use faranheit only on ovens for some reason

Good question! That could be the case, we do use imperial measurements in our recipes also

I use Celsius for the oven. Most of the stuff I use the oven for defaults to 180 degrees.

It's basically the same measurement (as far as I know), but the zero values differ.

No that's Kelvin and Celsius.

Celsius and Fahrenheit have almost nothing in common.

intelati 17 points 3 years ago

I mean technically they are related by F=(9/5) * C+32.

So they're related, just linearly.

When you can smell the rotten vegetables on NYC sidewalks start to cook in the middle of the summer, you change from Fahrenheit to Rankine

You are misinformed. There are about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit to every 1 degree Celsius. Or a change of 10°C is a change of 18°F
