Apparently it's been six years and I've been on this thread for five of those years

[Rebecca]

o.o woah, you are really an old timer around here!

[Briana]

Yep. Joined in July of 2011

[mels]

You've been here foreverrrr

[Rebecca]

Almost two years longer than me

[mels]

Yeah, about two years longer than me I think

[Briana]

Ikr. It shocks me sometimes how long i've been on here

[mels]

Foreverrrrrrr

I am hungry and cold

[Rebecca]

I'm cold and procrastinating

[mels]

I'm cold and tired

[johanna (jo), soliloquist.]

I'm pretty warm, actually; sorry to spoil the party.

[Rebecca]

Hello warm friend who lives in the other hemisphere!

[Briana]

Lucky you getting warmth

[[deleted user]]

Lucky. It's in the early negatives and in the teens and single digits here. So cold. Especially with no snow.

[mels]

It's actually surprisingly warm here rn... hardly any snow and it hasn't really dropped below -5!

[johanna (jo), soliloquist.]

It just dropped to 15 C tonight and now I'm cold again.

[mels]

...you darn people living in warm places...

[[deleted user]]

It's snowing here and I'm so happy!! We need snow. We didn't have very much snow until now. It was more of packed snow/ice snow.

[Briana]

You people and your weird celsius

[mels]

Briana you are literally one of five countries in the world that still uses Fahrenheit.
YOU are the weird people.

[mels]

We should come up with a secret commonwealth handshake...

[Briana]

Celsius makes no sense. I mean, I can kinda see why it would make sense, but it just doesn't

[[deleted user]]

I agree. It is a little complicated when i try to turn Celsius into Fahrenheit.

[Briana]

I can just never remember the formula to convert them

[[deleted user]]

I know right!!

[Briana]

I'll memorize it someday

[mels]

Fahrenheit makes zero sense to me.
At least ours is based on boiling and freezing temperatures

[Rebecca]

Haha, I will never memorize it. That's what Google is for :P

[mels]

Fahrenheit is awful to convert to
I always freak out whenever American friends send me the temperature like what... how are you alive...

[Rebecca]

haha, and I freak out when I see celcius temperatures ;)

[mels]

But yours are so big o.o

[johanna (jo), soliloquist.]

...I'll just leave this here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=227Hd...

@mel we definitely need one.

[Briana]

At least with ours you know that 100 degrees is hot and 0 degrees is cold. Yours is like 0 degrees is cold but 30(?) degrees is hot/warm????????? Noooooo sense

[mels]

0 degrees is when it snows. 30 degrees is really freaking hot and -30 degrees is really freaking cold.
With you, it makes no sense?? It snows at like 32 degrees??

[[deleted user]]

No it snows in the 20s and teens.

Yeah, but......... "hot" and "cold" are so vague. How cold is 0? It's not water freezing, that's somewhere in the middle for you. And 100 is hot, but 75 is also hot, just not quite as hot as 100. 0 and 100 are cold and hot respectively for us, too; only 0 is actually freezing, so anything below is ice, and anything above is getting warmer and warmer until you're on fire.

Meeehh, eventually you just get down to preference. Celsius is still better though

[mels]

Well yeah I get that. But at around 32 degrees, it is the temperature for water to freeze and there is therefore a possibility of snow.

Exactly!! Fahrenheit is, like, super vague. Celsius is accurate at least. And cool.

[Briana]

See to me Fahrenheit is specific and Celsius isn't. I know that it does make sense for 0 to be freezing point of water of whatever, but that's not really what I don't really like. It's the fact that there's not a lot of degrees between freezing and hot and Fahrenheit has more degrees so i feel like it is more specific because it has more units/options/whatever-word-my-mind-is-blanking-on-at-the-moment.
And I'm totally fine with whoever wanting to use Celsius, it's just I personally like Fahrenheit better and I think that it makes more sense/works better to me

[[deleted user]]

Yes.

[johanna (jo), soliloquist.]

Ahhh, so there are more degrees. Because the interval is different or whatever. Yeah, I guess that makes sense, although I haven't had experience enough with F to use that.

Hahaha, we're not starting a temperature grading war. Fair enough.

[Briana]

Fahrenheit temps (if any of you americans wanna chip in and add your two cents, that's fine):
below 0: NEVER DO I EVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS (I probably have but I definitely don't want to do it again)
0: REALLY REALLY REALLY COLD
10s: REALLY REALLY COLD
20s: REALLY COLD
32 (aka 0 for you guys): COLD
40s: cold to chilly
50s: chilly to sweater
60s: sweater to t-shirt and jeans
70s: t-shirt and jeans to t-shirt and shorts
80s: t-shirt and shorts to tanktops
90s: hot to HOT
100+: GROSS

some of these change a little depending on the wind/breeze and the amount of clouds and humidity (cause high humidity just makes everything warmer and gross) and other weather
Also this is my experience in mostly Virginia so it can be different depending on what you're used to. And some people just do not get cold soooo
