The same can be said for ‘football Vs soccer’.
And metric vs imperial (with the exceptions of about three small countries in Africa and Asia, the UK (which uses both systems interchangeably), and NASA).
You can add on Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Ireland and South Africa.
You cannot equate a scale with a name.
They just did
There’s a few more… Major countries like Liberia, Palau, Micronesia, & Belize.
Most of Europe including anyone in UK under 60, Asia, Japan, China, Australia. People in engineering and science.
Not many use Fahrenheit.
Maybe it isn’t obvious (either because you missed it or because it’s just a bad joke, I don’t know), but this post is a joke. I asked GPT-4 to explain it in a neutral tone for added hilarity:
The joke in the meme is based on visual irony. The question “Who even uses Celsius?” is asked, implying that the use of Celsius is rare or uncommon. The subsequent image of the world map in response, with only the United States colored orange (representing Fahrenheit users), humorously contradicts the initial question, highlighting that it’s actually Fahrenheit that is less commonly used worldwide, not Celsius. This undercuts the original question with an unexpected twist, which is the essence of the joke.
I always get confused with US based people mentioning 38F during the winter 😂.
I 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.
I’m from Sydney, Australia and 0°C is “really fuckin cold outside”! For us anyway lol.
Fuck, 10 °C is “really fuckin cold outside” for me in Brissy.
Are you from Canada?
Probably not as -17c (0F) is not “Really fucking cold outside”.
This graph makes sense. Football vs soccer is another one of these.
Fahrenheit 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
Celsius 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?
Good question! That could be the case, we do use imperial measurements in our recipes also
I use Celsius for the oven. Most of the stuff I use the oven for defaults to 180 degrees.
It’s basically the same measurement (as far as I know), but the zero values differ.
No that’s Kelvin and Celsius.
Celsius and Fahrenheit have almost nothing in common.
I mean technically they are related by F=(9/5) * C+32.
So they’re related, just linearly.
The same can be said for ‘football Vs soccer’.
that’s Kelvin and Celsius
Or Rankine and Fahrenheit.
When you can smell the rotten vegetables on NYC sidewalks start to cook in the middle of the summer, you change from Fahrenheit to Rankine
Oh, yeah, sorry 😁.
That is not the only difference.
You are misinformed. There are about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit to every 1 degree Celsius. Or a change of 10°C is a change of 18°F
