Blegh ( @Blegh@lemm.ee ) 10•1 year agoThe same can be said for ‘football Vs soccer’.
Hellfire103 ( @hellfire103@sopuli.xyz ) English7•1 year 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•1 year agoYou cannot equate a scale with a name.
animist ( @animist@lemmy.one ) 6•1 year agoThey just did
Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) 1•1 year agoYou can add on Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Ireland and South Africa.
beefcat ( @beefcat@kbin.social ) 8•1 year 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•1 year agoI’m from Sydney, Australia and 0°C is “really fuckin cold outside”! For us anyway lol.
Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year agoFuck, 10 °C is “really fuckin cold outside” for me in Brissy.
wizzor ( @wizzor@sopuli.xyz ) 3•1 year agoAre you from Canada?
dmegatool ( @dmegatool@lemmy.ca ) 7•1 year agoProbably not as -17c (0F) is not “Really fucking cold outside”.
Ullallulloo ( @Ullallulloo@civilloquy.com ) 7•1 year agoThere’s a few more… Major countries like Liberia, Palau, Micronesia, & Belize.
SubArcticTundra ( @SubArcticTundra@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year agoLiberia was literally set up by the US
xc2215x ( @xc2215x@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoThis graph makes sense. Football vs soccer is another one of these.
KarsicKarl ( @KarsicKarl@kbin.social ) 5•1 year 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•1 year 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•1 year 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•1 year agoGood question! That could be the case, we do use imperial measurements in our recipes also
Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year agoI use Celsius for the oven. Most of the stuff I use the oven for defaults to 180 degrees.
