@@khamjaninja. That's brilliant! I'd always felt that 96 was quite a nice round number (probably because I am a computer programmer), and this now entirely explains that it indeed is!
Problem with that is absolute ZERO , temperature that is determined by extrapolating the ideal gas law ; by international agreement its −273.15 degrees on the Celsius scale ... we dont actually know if thats the real absolute ZERO .

I might be the only non-American who likes Farenheit better than Celcius. See, in everyday contexts, we normally use temperature for weather measurements. The 0-100 portion of F is much more convenient and relevant than the 0-100 portion of C. Hardly ever a need to go into negatives (and miss the minus sign, and mess up difference measurements, etc.), and the granularity is better - "high 70s (F)" is a sensible thing to say whereas "high 20s (C)" is kind of pointless (25 and 30 feel pretty different).
I have a counter point. Many people look at weather forecasts when making travel decisions. Celcius having 0 being freezing mean you can skim through the numbers overnight and if none are below 0 then there won't be ice on the roads. The fact that 0 and 100 are values which people experience very often (ice, steam) it makes it very easy for people to scale. if an oven is 300 (C) without having to think about it everyone knows its 3 time hotter than a kettle gets and so easier to grasp.
Legit the best argument I've heard for farenheit is that you can use the degree number to approximate how warm it will be. 100 degrees will be 100% warm. 70 will be 70% warm, fairly, but not too much. 120 is 120% warm, now you are too warm.
@@dogwalker666 For scientific purposes, Celsius is better, I agree (just like the metric system is far superior to feet and miles). But for practical everyday reasons, I prefer Fahrenheit. It allows you to express temperature more precisely without decimals. Just looks cleaner and more convenient. But it's just me.
@@aliaksandrhn1 I don't see how using decimals is a problem, They are never used on weather charts, Visualising temperature is far easier when you use C, F is just random, Gallons are even worse because American gallons are smaller than imperial gallons. But a litre is the same size everywhere.
@@dogwalker666 The reason decimals are never used in Celsius is because they'd look pretty ugly if they were used. Fahrenheit allows you to express a temperature more precisely without resorting to decimals. 24.5C is not as clean as 76F. Also, I am not arguing in favor of American gallons or any other measurement system used in the US (except temperature scale) - as I mentioned earlier, I like European systems much better.
@@aliaksandrhn1 at work the low temperature controllers are two dp ie. 70.65C, the 1400C ones don't, my car computer shows temperature to 1dp 3.6C today I understand that you are used to F so prefer it but The DP issue I don't get as I said the met office doesn't use fractions.

Just want to point out that this is from John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, not the property of this youtuber.
Mr finnemore is a genius
long may he produce to make us all face the absurdities of life and realise it's absurdities.😊
Gotta love Simon and John together.
“They’re not are they!!” 😂
I adore this skit it’s so good
I think the name he forgot was Réaumur. Official temp scale since 1730, long before F and C

The ONLY time it's worth using Fahrenheit is at minus forty degrees ( -40° )
Nice one ;-)
I like to send this to my American friends.
Is there an original video
Late reply, but this is from a radio sketch show. So there is no video.

I am sure that made sense when you thought of it.

How can anyone downvote this style of humour?
As long as you're wearing protective gloves.

Why it makes no sense whatsoever, zero = freezing 100 = boiling point of water! Celsius is logical.

Laugh track? It’s a from a radio show recorded in front of an audience. Although I can understand why the laughter can be distracting.
