There’s a few more… Major countries like Liberia, Palau, Micronesia, & Belize.
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 cannot equate a scale with a name.
They just did
You can add on Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Ireland and South Africa.
Most of Europe including anyone in UK under 60, Asia, Japan, China, Australia. People in engineering and science.
Not many use Fahrenheit.
This graph makes sense. Football vs soccer is another one of these.
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.
Are you from Canada?
Probably not as -17c (0F) is not “Really fucking cold outside”.
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?
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.
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
The same can be said for ‘football Vs soccer’.
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
