minus-squareShakeThatYam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoI like that Fahrenheit has a narrower range for degrees. 1C is 1.8 degrees F. So, F allows you to have more precision without the use of decimals. Like, 71F feels noticeably different to me than 64F, but that is only a 3.8 degree difference in C.
minus-squareIlflish@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoBut that also doesn’t matter because the granularity is meaningless if you don’t make decisions for differences between 71F and 70F
minus-squareryathal@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoNot at those exact temperatures, but one degree matters in in grilling meat, making mash for beer, making candy, etc.
minus-squarego $fsck yourself@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoSure, but you should be using Celsius for those things. That’s the main argument here.
