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.
You sure are worked up about this. Why? Calm down, bud.
I am 0 Kelvin calm
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".
You mean like the lightning cable?
In the US.
For me a standard that I mean as standard is globaly used by scientists
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.
Shit man, I use Celsius and I'm in the glory hole of america.
I will say this: fuck imperial-measurement-deciders for naming 1/1000 of an inch a "mil". Fuckin pricks.
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.
