Blegh ( @Blegh@lemm.ee ) 10•2 years agoThe same can be said for ‘football Vs soccer’.
Hellfire103 ( @hellfire103@sopuli.xyz ) English7•2 years agoAnd metric vs imperial (with the exceptions of about three small countries in Africa and Asia, the UK (which uses both systems interchangeably), and NASA).
Cloudless ( @Cloudless@kbin.social ) 4•2 years agoYou cannot equate a scale with a name.
animist ( @animist@lemmy.one ) 6•2 years agoThey just did
Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) 1•2 years agoYou can add on Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Ireland and South Africa.
beefcat ( @beefcat@kbin.social ) 8•2 years agoI 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.
Mbarasipo ( @Mbarasipo@beehaw.org ) 5•2 years agoI’m from Sydney, Australia and 0°C is “really fuckin cold outside”! For us anyway lol.
Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) 2•2 years agoFuck, 10 °C is “really fuckin cold outside” for me in Brissy.
wizzor ( @wizzor@sopuli.xyz ) 3•2 years agoAre you from Canada?
dmegatool ( @dmegatool@lemmy.ca ) 7•2 years agoProbably not as -17c (0F) is not “Really fucking cold outside”.
Ullallulloo ( @Ullallulloo@civilloquy.com ) 7•2 years agoThere’s a few more… Major countries like Liberia, Palau, Micronesia, & Belize.
SubArcticTundra ( @SubArcticTundra@beehaw.org ) 2•2 years agoLiberia was literally set up by the US
xc2215x ( @xc2215x@kbin.social ) 5•2 years agoThis graph makes sense. Football vs soccer is another one of these.
KarsicKarl ( @KarsicKarl@kbin.social ) 5•2 years agoMost of Europe including anyone in UK under 60, Asia, Japan, China, Australia. People in engineering and science.
Not many use Fahrenheit.
Storksforlegs ( @storksforlegs@beehaw.org ) 2•2 years agoFahrenheit 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
Storksforlegs ( @storksforlegs@beehaw.org ) 4•2 years agoCelsius for your ovens? In canada we use faranheit only on ovens for some reason
Is that because most of your recipes are from the US?
Storksforlegs ( @storksforlegs@beehaw.org ) 5•2 years agoGood question! That could be the case, we do use imperial measurements in our recipes also
Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) 4•2 years agoI use Celsius for the oven. Most of the stuff I use the oven for defaults to 180 degrees.
