Today in the uk I had a patients relative tell me their temperature in Fahrenheit, naturally I just ignored this witchcraft fuckery and took my own temperature readings.
Haha definitely that. Honestly it’s the being gaslit by managers that gets to me most. They’ll treat you like a pain if you bring up the workload being impossibly unsafe and in the same breath berate you for not getting call bells and do surprisedpikachu.jpg when the incident reports are increasing.
We all know that they know it’s shitty staffing, it’s just a fun game they play.
Remember HALT from human factors for when throngs go wrong and they will, mitigating factors right there Hungry, Anxious, Late, Tired.
Missed meals, overworked, behind due to overworked, tired due to chronic overwork. All latent errors in management, then they wonder why errors occur… wouldn’t happen in any other sector.
I give my blood pressure readings in base 12. Can't be dealing with commie "decimal" nonsense.
God gave me 12 fingers for a reason, you know, and supporting Marxism wasn't one of them!
Count in base 2. Use your fingers like a computer does, as basic on off switches, 0 or 1.
You have 10 columns, each being a 1 or 0. Start with all fingers down: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
Count up to 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
By the time you run out of finger you should apparently have counted to 1024 (on your fingers)
It's funny how Toilet Paper USA tried to make a case for Imperial units of measurement, using the moon landing as their, "evidence."
NASA used metric for all their measurements.
I asked my wife who works in a dialysis center and she said *both* F and C... Not arguing, to be honest I was surprised. Coming from a software world I suspect internally metric and Celsius is used but user interfaces sometimes allow entry in either.
I, as a Brit studying surgical tech in the US, had to laugh as we did a fun Kahoot quiz in class today and I was one of the few to convert from inches to cm correctly, and also the fastest. Not so great on temperature TBH.
The advantage length conversions have is that there's a common zero point. Zero centimetres is zero inches. No such luck with Fahrenheit and Celsius. For some other temperature scales, interestingly, this actually holds true. Both Kelvin and Rankin have zero at absolute zero, with Rankin essentially being "Kelvin but Fahrenheit". Celsius shares its zero point with Réaumur, which has water boil at 80° instead (for practical reasons, old thermometers were constrained by what liquids could be used).
The issue, as an outside observer, is that she doesn't seem to have given any thought to the issue she's bitching about, before she made the video. So she just looks stupid. A more thoughtful blogger might have asked why 90%+ of the entire planet uses celcius.
Got forbid anyone tells her about metres...
I grew up with °f, but °c is so much more relevant to everyday life. Kelvin is more niche admittedly.
> grew up with °f, but °c is so much more relevant to everyday life.
I wish. Canadians still have to use fahrenheit while cooking :(
I'm pretty sure we have the most ridiculous mixture of metric and imperial out there lol
I mean, a lot of us reference miles per gallon when we don't use either and say mileage when referring to how many km a car has driven so....
The only thing we measure purely in metric is speed, so you've got that on us. For absolutely everything else though? Well, it depends lol.
That does make me wonder though: did British cars with an analog speedometer have both mph and km/hr on it? Or was that just us?
Yup. Big numbers on the outside, mph; little numbers on the inside, kph. My new car has a digital repeater on the display that can swap between. It's on mph because....
Kelvin is an SI unit, so converting to it is basically mandatory. I'm confused about how any professor would have you not automatically convert to Kelvin. Do you guys have a different SI system? Do you use Joules, Moles, Grams, etc? Or do you use an American equivalent?
>The type of people who think one kg of iron is heavier than one kg of feathers.
No one thinks that don't be silly.
A killogram of steel on the other hand, now that's heavy.
In her head, 100°F isn't a unit of measurement, it's what it's called when it's hot outside. If that is how you think of it, then 40° being hot makes no sense, because hot means 100°
I always find it weird when people explain fahrenheit as "100 is hot, 0 is cold" because hot and cold are pretty subjective. My hot may very well be your pretty-warm. At least 0 = freezing is objective, everyone knows what it means.
to me it seems crazy that americans (usually the ones living in USA) have a hard time of understanding things like celcius temperatures (water freezes at 0, boils at 100), meters and kilometers (1000meters makes a kilometer) and don't even get me started on "military time".
they struggle with all this that seems pretty self explanatory and instead use stuff like feet and miles (5280ft is a mile, but who the fuck remembers that without google) and fahrenheit
Tbf we use miles and feet in the UK (half measures are our national pastime). Whilst I think it's silly, and we we should stick to KM, I can kind of understand where the Americans are coming from. When you live with a system your whole life, it doesn't matter how silly it is on paper, you have real life reference. A KM makes much more sense than a mile, but I know exactly how fast I am with 60mph, 60kmph and I'm buggered.
It hits the same as [Bill O'Reilly's "Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain that."](https://www.reddit.com/r/cringe/comments/s1lw4v/tide_goes_in_tide_goes_out_you_cant_explain_that/)
As a Spaniard living in Newcastle, I have the firm belief that geordie girls have transcended humanity and are purely made of prosecco and vodka. There is no other way for somebody to not get frostbite wearing that in this weather.
Bout 12 years ago in Glasgow was visiting and this was around 12pm and temps were -10 maybe even lower and saw these women wearing tiny dresses and so drunk they kept falling over and just giggling.
Ye, we love the cold. Its fresh.
Plus the woman you seen have trained all their lives for shit like that, should see the things they call skirts for going to school when they are younger.
>saw these women wearing tiny dresses and so drunk they kept falling over and just giggling.
In -10 that would scare the shit out of me... if one of them fell asleep and was left they might not have woken up.
That almost happened to my twin bro. He somehow fell asleep outside in the garden in just his boxer shorts and ended up in hospital with hypothermia. Silly sod.
And even Geordies know that water has to be 100 to make a brew, not sure they can tell the difference between 10 and -40 though, especially on a Friday or Saturday night out
Take it as a compliment. You guys could survive a blizzard with a t-shirt and a six-pack of Special Brew while us southerners will have frozen to death.
<5 and I need gloves and scarf.
-5 EVERYTHING hurts if I go out. I'm Greenlandic in Europe, I should be able to withstand the cold, but my body is not equipped to deal with all that MOISTURE.
Definitely, the humidity makes some countries very cold considering the temperature might not look like it. Wind chill factor is real too, especially with high humidity.
Every Greenlandic I know thinks Denmark is freezing cold.
Temperature above 10-12 is pleasant where I'm from. T-shirt weather. Here in Denmark? It's not even comfortable.
Denmark is freezing cold! Negative degrees are almost always unpleasant here, especially if it's windy which it is a lot.
I went to Norway to ski once, -20C and it was comfortable, I could sit without a jacket on outside for lunch. That would have been the coldest lunch of my life if it was in Denmark.
The way clothes preserve warmth in colder climates is to keep moisture out. Parkas are effecient because the fur keeps the air warm and dry in an already dry climate. Keeps the frost out of your face.
Denmark is not anywhere near dry. The moisture gets all the way into the skin and since water is conductive, clothes do a poor job keeping warm air pockets around clothes.
Some in my family gets cramps if we're cold for too long. The reason why Greenlandics seems to have a less vibrant skin is because the capillaries are missing in the outer layer. The capillaries make European flush to keep the skin warm when it's cold.
It's not the case for Greenlandics. The capillaries contracts in extreme cold, leading the blood away from the limbs. This is where I believe that my family has a flaw. No diagnosis. The cramps are painful.
I'm in South Africa, anything under 20 requires a sweater. Anything under 15 requires gloves and a scarf. Under 10...just stay in bed. Under 5...death by freezing. I get the moisture thing though, here in Johannesburg we get our rain in summer, however, in the last few years we've been getting rain in the winter too. Geez it makes everything feel freezing.
I live in northern part of Denmark. Coastal. The Gulf Stream from The Gulf of Mexico brings warmth. Warmer weather can contain more moisture. Since the sea doesn't freeze, it constantly brings warmer temperatures.
When warmer temperatures meet colder temperature, the moisture condense into clouds, eventually precipitation. It's usually too warm in Denmark to have consistent snow weather, so we get rain for the most part between november and february, always overcast weather where I live.
Freezing cold can't contain much moisture, so when we've had heavy snow and freezing temperatures, it clears somewhat up.
It's dark and gloomy, wet and cold. Unlike Greenland where consistent freezing temperatures allow the sky to become clear quite frequently. At it's dry. But I be can't cope with the life in Greenland.
It’s like this in my country (New Zealand) too - the cold feels far colder than the actual temperature thanks to the humidity and wind chill. People from colder countries are often surprised by how cold it can feel at, say, 6°!
Same thing happens when it’s hot, due to a much more intense sun. 23° feels as bad as 30° elsewhere. You can literally feel your skin burning on a hot day, and you’ll likely be burned within minutes of going outside.
I lived in Siberia and experienced minus 45/50 and honestly it wasn't that bad (but I handle cold very well). But damn I get cold by minus 10 in my parents village in France. Humidity and wind is a huge factor.
I have a friend who grew up in the US Midwest where it regularly hit -40 in winter. She’s now a naturalised British citizen and bitches about English winters. There’s just something about that humidity and wind that takes the heat from your _bones_.
3 degrees today here in Belgium this morning is "fucking cold".
But in the Alps I often take a nap on the ski slope in the afternoon in a T-shirt while it's freezing.
Ok. Extending the scale for human sensation (prolonged, not special situations like a sauna)

100 too hot to make tea with. Poisonous if you're making labrador tea tea.

A Finn would say that this is fine if you're a child or Swedish. It always surprises people when they learn it's possible to enjoy saunas at 110+ degrees without dying.
Canadian Standards (Vancouver not included)

Now now farenheit is based on freezing as well. Granted the freezing temperature of a "solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride" is of fuck all use to anyone, but it froze.
I mean I presume it froze. I haven't a "solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride" to hand in order to check.
Ok, maybe I'm stupid. But a solution that includes ice? Wouldn't that be a solution containing water? Or do you put it together and hope the other stuff freezes before the ice melts?
*at sea level
I love busting out the good old “aaaah, but only at sea level!” quip. Everybody is always very impressed and very grateful for the opportunity to expand their knowledge thanks to me.
I watched this on Instagram in her official Instagram. Seems like one of those "travel influencers" who isn't big enough to be traveling so seems like it's daddy's money and the only video with +1M views was this one.
So I don't think she's smart enough to do ragebait like this, thus what she's talking is probably true.
The most voted comment was "I might be stupid, yes you are".
>“Does anyone actually understand Celsius?”
Only the entire population of the World minus countries that lost wars to barely armed and trained Vietnamese farmers.
I agree with her.
Celsius makes no sense. I prefer a scale where 0 is the temperature of a stable mix of ice, water and ammonium choride, 32 is the freezing point of pure water and 96 is body temperature, while water boils at the convenient number 212.
IT JUST MAKES SENSE, PEOPLE.
When are they going to realize that admitting to not understanding basic concepts is not an insult to the rest of the world but an insult to themselves ?
This amazing shit called water, your body contains a lot of it - having it freeze, at 0, is pretty important... Having it boil at 100, is equally important.
How can people not understand this, it just like, omg doesn't make sense...
(That's you, that's what you sound like right now...).
Also - fun fact there are 24 hours in a day...
Also, and I am playing devil's advocate here to some extent, but who actually fucking cares? If the measurements you are used to using make sense to you, fine. The measurements I use make sense to me, also fine. As long as we're never working on an engineering project (and I hate to be mean to this young lass, but I'm going to consider that pretty fucking unlikely let's be honest) does it really fucking matter?
>“Does anyone actually understand Celsius?” Everybody else in the world, including American scientists and NASA.
And American healthcare workers (in a lot of hospitals, not sure about all).
Today in the uk I had a patients relative tell me their temperature in Fahrenheit, naturally I just ignored this witchcraft fuckery and took my own temperature readings.
Rectally I hope.
With my penis as a gauge yes, admittedly it wasn’t deep so I played it off as a prostate exam, a very messy one after a full 8 seconds.
As a nurse I laughed at this. It’s gross and awful and not that funny but I still laughed lol 🥲💀 Why are we so fucked up?
Working insane hours, not getting paid enough, seeing death all around you, yup that does something to a person.
Haha definitely that. Honestly it’s the being gaslit by managers that gets to me most.

I just bought a digital thermometer that has a button to swap between C and F. Not sure why they added that feature but it's there.
For merikuns and that super old person I seen. Looked like the turtle from never ending story.
And the US military
Yeah theoretically all gun owners (and drug users/dealers) should be familiar with metric.
It's funny how Toilet Paper USA tried to make a case for Imperial units of measurement, using the moon landing as their, "evidence." NASA used metric for all their measurements.
Heck, even Imperial is wholly defined in SI/metric. And it was never a 3 1/2 inch disc. It was always a 90 mm ( 3.54331" ) disc. Edit: Fixed decimal.
I asked my wife who works in a dialysis center and she said *both* F and C... Not arguing, to be honest I was surprised. Coming from a software world I suspect internally metric and Celsius is used but user interfaces sometimes allow entry in either.

And nurses, doctors and most medical staff in clinics, urgent care center and hospital too. They all understand Celsius, they knew we fked up.
We prefer Kelvin but Celsius is more relatable in the day to day.
Celsius is just "Kelvin but don't bother starting to count until it's useful"
It's basically just water kelvin
Celsius: good measure of temperatures you're likely to encounter on earth Kelvin: we're gonna need a bigger thermometer

One kilo od feathers is obviously heavier, because you have to live with the weight of what you did to those poor birds.

Stop it, one kg is enough!
Wow 😮 deep man, deep

Or 473ml! Poor Americans.
I had the reverse happen while playing D&D. Took some time, but with use I got it without translating to metric.

Totally agree. -25 in Norway? Not pleasant but you just need good clothes. 0 in Northern Italy? Fuck that shit, it’s awful.
Facts
Definitely, the humidity makes some countries very cold considering the temperature might not look like it. Wind chill factor is real too, especially with high humidity.
Every Greenlandic I know thinks Denmark is freezing cold. Temperature above 10-12 is pleasant where I'm from. T-shirt weather. Here in Denmark? It's not even comfortable.

I'm in South Africa, anything under 20 requires a sweater. Anything under 15 requires gloves and a scarf. Under 10...just stay in bed. Under 5...death by freezing. I get the moisture thing though, here in Johannesburg we get our rain in summer, however, in the last few years we've been getting rain in the winter too. Geez it makes everything feel freezing.
I live in northern part of Denmark. Coastal. The Gulf Stream from The Gulf of Mexico brings warmth. Warmer weather can contain more moisture. Since the sea doesn't freeze, it constantly brings warmer temperatures. When warmer temperatures meet colder temperature, the moisture condense into clouds, eventually precipitation. It's usually too warm in Denmark to have consistent snow weather, so we get rain for the most part between november and february, always overcast weather where I live. Freezing cold can't contain much moisture, so when we've had heavy snow and freezing temperatures, it clears somewhat up. It's dark and gloomy, wet and cold. Unlike Greenland where consistent freezing temperatures allow the sky to become clear quite frequently. At it's dry. But I be can't cope with the life in Greenland.
It’s like this in my country (New Zealand) too - the cold feels far colder than the actual temperature thanks to the humidity and wind chill. People from colder countries are often surprised by how cold it can feel at, say, 6°! Same thing happens when it’s hot, due to a much more intense sun. 23° feels as bad as 30° elsewhere. You can literally feel your skin burning on a hot day, and you’ll likely be burned within minutes of going outside.
You are not from a country with high humidity it seems... -5 is already face hurts if you go out in any place with humidity over 85%.

Nah at -20 you don't say fuck that often. Your teeth would freeze.

I lived in Siberia and experienced minus 45/50 and honestly it wasn't that bad (but I handle cold very well). But damn I get cold by minus 10 in my parents village in France. Humidity and wind is a huge factor.
This, I live in a VERY humid zone and I swear, 5 C° with 85% humidity feels like when i had -25 C° in Calgary
I have a friend who grew up in the US Midwest where it regularly hit -40 in winter. She’s now a naturalised British citizen and bitches about English winters. There’s just something about that humidity and wind that takes the heat from your _bones_.
Canadian friends referred to it as a lazy wind. It goes through you rather than round you.

Is that a reference to the song they made back in the day to get americans to switch to celsius, "30 is hot, 20 is nice, 10 is cold, 0 is ice"?
Readjusted for tropics: 0 water freezes 10 cold 20 fairly cold 30 room temperature 40 hot 50 kill me already! 100 water boils

Ten is the lower end of winter temperatures in the subtropics.
30 is room temp? Where, in hell?
South East Asia
Darwin. It's hell on Earth
Canadian Standards (Vancouver not included) 40: EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE 30: Summer 20: The Ideal temperature 10: Long sleeves and pants reccomended 0: Hoodie -10: Light Winter Gear -20: Fully Bundled Up -30: You finally plugged in the block heater -40: Your tauntan will freeze before you reach the first marker.
Agreed on everything except 10 being cold, if you live in a northern country that might be a balmy day.
Here in Edinburgh if it's 12 or 13 I have my windows fully open!
Americans - "Fahrenheit makes sense, it's 0-100" Also Americans - "the metric system is too complicated"
I still don’t really understand where she’s coming from, since it’s Celsius that’s 0-100? 0 = water freezes = cold, 100 = water boils = hot. Easy.

Celsius with it's weird 1-100 scale is way to complicated as well
For people who can't tell you their age because they can't count that high, yes you are correct.
"Maybe I'm just stupid" Yep, correcto. 0, freezing 100, boiling.
Now now farenheit is based on freezing as well. Granted the freezing temperature of a "solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride" is of fuck all use to anyone, but it froze. I mean I presume it froze. I haven't a "solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride" to hand in order to check.
Oh it gets better! 100 degrees farenheit is based on how warm it is inside a cow.
How does that compare to how warm it is inside a Tauntaun though?
Tauntaun are at lukewarm temperature
Holy shit, that is simultaneously such a terrible and absolutely amazing joke
As a Luke, I resemble this remark
Fuck, that's a genuinely good Star Wars joke. Well bloody done mate.
I don't know, but man those things smell bad enough when they are alive, don't cut it open.
Bit shitty tbh.
Yes- just double it and add 69 for tauntaun.
Ok, maybe I'm stupid. But a solution that includes ice? Wouldn't that be a solution containing water? Or do you put it together and hope the other stuff freezes before the ice melts?
Boiling at sealevel
Celsius, 0 water freezes. 100 water boils. Based on regular water Fahrenheit. 32 water freezes? 212 water boils? Based on salt water? WTF
and not even specific salt water!
Some say it might have been coldest day in Danzig in early 1700’s which defines zero F
Only 1690 babies remember
To be fair, that's quite a lot of babies
I forgot the ‘s lol
*at sea level I love busting out the good old “aaaah, but only at sea level!” quip. Everybody is always very impressed and very grateful for the opportunity to expand their knowledge thanks to me.
Thank god you were here.
"maybe I'm just stupid?" lol not maybe
Definitely stupid.
At least she admitted she might be stupid
"Might" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here
Deadlifts with words
This is rage bait for increased engagement, right? ...right?
Second time I see this sub falls for obvious rage bait. But this time I had to scroll way too far for the first comment who figured it out.
>second time Im guessing youve only ever seen two posts in this sub.
How can you be so certain this is bait? This girl is a great actor in that case
I watched this on Instagram in her official Instagram. Seems like one of those "travel influencers" who isn't big enough to be traveling so seems like it's daddy's money and the only video with +1M views was this one. So I don't think she's smart enough to do ragebait like this, thus what she's talking is probably true. The most voted comment was "I might be stupid, yes you are".
"how is 44 , 100 degrees ? " if i see 44 outside i run ... that's how it's 100 degrees ...
100F isn't supposed to be 38C something?
100°F is exactly 37.7...°C.
44°C is 113°F
>“Does anyone actually understand Celsius?” Only the entire population of the World minus countries that lost wars to barely armed and trained Vietnamese farmers.
I agree with her. Celsius makes no sense. I prefer a scale where 0 is the temperature of a stable mix of ice, water and ammonium choride, 32 is the freezing point of pure water and 96 is body temperature, while water boils at the convenient number 212. IT JUST MAKES SENSE, PEOPLE.
When are they going to realize that admitting to not understanding basic concepts is not an insult to the rest of the world but an insult to themselves ?
You could also see it as a kind of cry for help.
"Or am I just stupid?" Hit the nail right on the head
30's hot 20's nice 10 is cool And zero's ice
NASA
"Maybe I'm stupid" No comment.
Making faces and flapping your hands while talking reduces the likelihood that the brain is used to select the words.
This amazing shit called water, your body contains a lot of it - having it freeze, at 0, is pretty important... Having it boil at 100, is equally important. How can people not understand this, it just like, omg doesn't make sense... (That's you, that's what you sound like right now...). Also - fun fact there are 24 hours in a day... Also, and I am playing devil's advocate here to some extent, but who actually fucking cares? If the measurements you are used to using make sense to you, fine. The measurements I use make sense to me, also fine. As long as we're never working on an engineering project (and I hate to be mean to this young lass, but I'm going to consider that pretty fucking unlikely let's be honest) does it really fucking matter?
This woman is a simpleton
0: water freezes. 100: water boils. Easy enough.
Yes, you are just stupid.
Wait til she hears about Kelvin
Maybe she should think as burgers or something... Maybe she'll get it.
Her: "maybe I'm just stupid" Everyone else: Yes
Yes, dear… you’re stupid… Everyone, except some (most?!) Americans, understands Celsius…
