Celsius doesn't do that, water does.

Only when 101kn/m2 of pressure is applied to it though. Up high in the himalaya water boils at 90°C.

I'll take your word for it. Too lazy to look it up.

Celsius is good for scientific uses, but for practical / everyday life Fahrenheit is much more useful measurement of temperature for weather / cooking purposes etc.

When we hear that it's 30 degrees out, we know to wear a coat, not shorts.

When we bake, we know to set the oven at 350, not 176.667.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

it's not what is better, it's that what everyone is used to, and what we learn as child and from our parents. i don't think one of england would say that it would be more logic to drive on the right side of street...

As an Australian, Fahrenheit is useless, we follow Celsius for everything, 

30 degrees means it’s short/bikini r/beach weather

220 degrees will bring us a great pie to devour with our cold beers that ranges from 0-3/4 degrees, maybe even in the minus range if you want an ice cold beer. 

Anything under 15-20 degrees depending on where you live results in most people wearing winter clothes and a “fuck mate I’m freezing my balls off” 

anything under 0 degrees you’re either in a cold part of Australia or in the wrong country.

Celsius and the metric system all the way.

What does some people mean when the range for Fahrenheit is bigger? You know, you can go below 0 with adding a minus in front of the number.

Today we had 1 degree celcius here (atleast our car said so), when we went out shopping earlier on.

20 degree's is a nice hot summer day for us.

You Australians are just used to having great weather :p

That said we ve had a very mild winter/december this year, only like 2-3 days of snow.

 

just checked a weather station, its -1 degree outside atm (its night time here).

DD/MM/YY makes way more sense than MM/DD/YY, I always mix up the dates when looking at the latter.

Celcius is only good for science to me. If I want to actually feel what the temperature feels like the Fahrenheit is way better. So normal people use Fahrenheit and science people use Celcuis for projects.

Also I prefer the M/D/Y format because it mirrors how people speak in English. We say May 4th 2018 not 4th of May 2018. The latter is only said in different languages such as Spanish.

The MM/DD/YY always throws me off. Even after I learned to think about how they usually say it in America, I always have to do a double take. For two reasons. For one, even in English, in Australia for example, I often (always?) heard "2nd October, 2017". Same thing in Swedish, and same thing in Japanese.

But more importantly, we often don't say things the way we write them. And it just makes logical sense when writing numbers to go from Biggest > Smaller > Smallest.
Or Smallest > Bigger > Biggest.  Because that's how numbers generally work. "5939". You can immediately identify which number represents a smaller or bigger value.

That's how I've been viewing the DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD system. So that's why I get confused when I see the US system.
If you're just used to one system, and only exposed to it, then you'll be fine either way. But because American English is so common, you have to deal with both systems if you're non-American at some point.

The Fourth of July is the only time Americans usually say it that way. I don't why they say Fourth of July but changed everything else.

More logical would have been YYYY/MM/DD

This way you can store things in the date order on a computer lol, rather than calling them version 1 to 1billion
