Lemmy can be pretty hostile to non-European standards. It's weird... I wonder if Europeans are just using more accounts than Americans, and stacking votes.

If not... Then yikes, if Lemmy is losing the American audience, that's bad news, friends.

    Celsius and Fahrenheit are both European units. It's just that Fahrenheit is used by less than 5% of the world's population, so it's completely reasonable to expect a post title on an international website like this to use Celsius.

    To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is "really fucking cold" and 100 degrees is "really fucking hot." So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as "yeah that's way too fucking hot for a phone."

    This is also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius in general (even though I am an engineer and am not a die-hard patriot or anything like that). It is a more practical scale for everyday usage.

    Why are Americans so bad at geography 🤦

    You do know there's a world outside of the US and Europe, yeah? Like other places are a thing that exist? And guess what - they all use Celsius!

    This isn't a Europe Vs US thing. This is a US Vs the world thing, with Americans expecting their way to be taken seriously by everyone.

    Don't be surprised when people want to use the actual standard.

    It's an incredibly euro-centric view to think that the rest of the world uses the metric system. Heck, even the UK mixes and matches units contextually. Plenty of global industries apply their own standards.

    I've never seen an American on the Internet suggest China move from Chi to Feet, for example. Europeans just assume that they use Meters because they're polite enough to just do the conversion on their end for international trade.

    You do realise we're talking about Celsius here, don't you?

    The UK absolutely uses Celsius, as does the vast majority of the world. To my knowledge it's just the US and Liberia.

    There is nothing Eurocentric about saying Celsius is the standard. There is, however, extreme US-centricity in thinking Fahrenheit is the normal one.

    Whats the speed limit on British highways?

    Yes, the UK mainly uses metric but for a few things they use imperial or both. For road signs they're mostly imperial - what does that have to do with Celsius?

    You're not making yourself look good here by deliberately going off-topic.

    Are you stupid? Lemmy isn't hostile to the US. We are hostile to idiots who do not recognize standards. That this includes most of the US is just a coincidence.

    Hate to break it to you (and your superiority complex) but Fahrenheit is also a standard.

    No it isn't, nobody uses it. I can't sayb"my proprietary unit is a standard that only I use".

    Cool, so Celsius is not a standard because it isn't global.

    As far as I know even US scientists are using Celsius and centimeters.

    True. It's just that due to Kelvin, Celsius is just more convinient.

    And Celsius makes more sense from a objective point of view.

    0 frozen water 100 boiling water(steam)(under atmospheric pressure

    Vs

    0 sth about coldest artificial state you can create a few hundred years ago And 100 the body temperature of a human.

    Both are very inaccurate values.

    There are a lot more Europeans online than Americans (not to mention a few billion internet users on other continents), so when Americans post temperatures exclusively in Fahrenheit it comes across as kinda thoughtlessly parochial.

    1. I don't believe this at all lol

    2. The audience for this is English speakers. While much of the world reads English non-natively, those people often turn to news source in their native languages. If this article were in French, using Fahrenheit would be silly.

    3. Most iPhone users are American. This data shows that just a few years ago 43% of iPhones were sold in the US, with Japan in 2nd at 14% and China at 13%. Even adding up the UK, France, Germany, and Australia they combine for 20%, though once again I'd expect French and German articles fod those audiences.

    Europeans just can't handle the fact that colonization is over lol.
