On: Metric Time

[worthless-trash]

Having never used Fahrenheit in any capacity, the math for it feels inhuman.

Having grown up in metric, the values dont feel 'inhuman' just a scale that i'm familiar with. I know that my body is usually at 37, I know that water boils at 100, i know that I don't like anything below 8c or above 40c.

That’s a bit funny: 8° C is roughly 50° F (46.4), and 40° C is roughly 100° F (104). Almost like Fahrenheit might be scaled to a human!

Its all what we get used to !
