"it's so cold here! It's 50 degrees Fahrenheit" ".......sorry I had to convert that to a measurement that the rest of the world uses", amirite?

Most of Noth America uses Fahrenheit, so do other parts of the world. Idiot.

Ok then name other countries that use Fahrenheit besides the U.S, Belize and Jamaica.

in canada we use celcius i like that better

by Anonymous 13 years ago

To me, It makes more sense because freezing is zero.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

precisely! i never really get fahrenheit as easily

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Me neither, and I live in America... Then again, I'm really into science so I tend to use Celsius and the metric system and such more than many people my age.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The official scientific temperature scale is Kelvin, not Celsius.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

True, but my science teachers are idiots. They say it's synonymous with the metric system or something, so we have to use it. They only use Celsius in my textbooks, too. Ah, America...

apparently, the Fahrenheit measurements revolve around tolerably living conditions for the human body, excluding external forces such as extra clothing or a cooler.

32 degrees is freezing in fahrenheit because ... ... Yeah Celsius is better.

50 degrees isn't particularly cold.

Who the heck uses decimal time?

50 degrees? Thats warm damn it!

That might be cold if you're from Florida.

Or Dallas.

It's not our fault that our country uses that system instead of the Metric system.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The US really needs to convert to metric.

We tried once. In like the 80's But as you can tell 'twas a total failure

It's -42 degrees Fahrenheit! I have to convert it to Celci- nevermind.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That'd be -40 degrees. What a fail.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Damn. I really thought it was -42.

England uses Fahrenheit and Celsius im a chicagoin and damn thats like summer here

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Since when does England use Fahrenheit?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Where I come from (Washington) 50 degrees is very comfortable. That's when you see people in shorts.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Fahrenheit had a fever when he made his scale :D

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Right now, when it reaches twenty degrees I consider it a very nice day out. Considering it's been -20 for awhile. 50 degrees is a summer night. But I do agree that the difference in temperature measurement makes it hard to talk to someone from a different country about the weather.

"50 degrees is a summer night" reminds me of what my mom told me about a girl she knew. The girl came from Alaska, and whenever it was 50 degrees outside, her and her family would go jump into the Columbia river and go swimming. 50 degrees to them was like 90 degrees for everyone else

50 F is cold? that's like shorts weather in WI.

Calm the hell down, we have technology to do the converting for us

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Why would you convert to Kelvin?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

why is this in sports?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i moved from ireland to america and had absolutely no problem changing to fahrenheit, pounds, feet, etc. i don't know why the rest of the world gets all pissy because america doesn't use the same systems they do. it's really not that hard to adapt to it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't know, I think we should all start using Kelvin. Then it can perpetually be in triple digits and we can sound ridiculous complaining about being cold in 173 degrees ...am I the only one who thinks that would be really fun?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Holy crap! 173 K is -100 C! You'd literally be frozen.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Whoops. I meant 273. Maybe I should listen a little more in engineering class?

50 degrees in winter = heat wave.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Good timing that this makes it to the home page now, right after a massive fricking blizzard. I wish it was 50 degrees...the piles of snow that are taller than me would finally melt, I would be able to wear normal shoes again, I wouldn't have to worry about the cars hydroplaning and killing me every time I cross the street...man, those were the days.

Anything below 70 degrees Fahrenheit is freezing to me o_O
