Released as the lead single from their 1986 album, <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Fahrenheit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fahrenheit</a>, the song reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1986.

XD

the three-day monkI realize I'm probably a corner case, living in 2 countries with different temperature scales, but I wish either <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apple</a> weather app or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/carrotweatherapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carrotweatherapp</a> would provide an option to show both temperatures. My only workaround right now is to have Apple's weather app on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fahrenheit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fahrenheit</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/freedomunits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freedomunits</a> and Carrot Weather on Celcius. Does anyone have a better solution?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weather</a>

Lydia SchochThe same thing also happened with temperature. Celsius is automatic for me now. I still mostly remember Fahreheit, but I need to think a little bit about it (especially when converting between the two and deciding how many layers of clothing to wear). <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Celsius" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Celsius</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fahrenheit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fahrenheit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Temperature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Temperature</a>

Ari ¡No pasarán! JacksonOh look! A new rant: Every now and then I mess around with wrapping my mind around the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Celsius" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Celsius</a> temperature scale versus the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Fahrenheit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fahrenheit</a> temperature scale. Having grown up in the United States, you know which one I am accustomed to. It's frustrating to me that scientists talk about climate change in the Celsius scale because, to an American, 1.5° of temperature change might not sound so bad. But in reality, that's almost *three* (2.7) degrees F of change, which is actually a significant and scary number. (Also, we're already there and blasting right on up to 3°C (5.4°F) change in the next few years, but that's a topic for another day.) One fault I find in the Celsius scale when talking about indoor temperature, for example, is that 1.8°F, or 1°C is a significant change. I can set my thermostat up or down 2°F, summer or winter, and it is very noticeable to me. Some days it's the difference between being really uncomfortably hot or cold and being OK. Would a Celsius home thermostat allow me to adjust in fractions? I have no idea! I guess it might work in whole numbers, because I usually adjust the temperature by 2°F any direction when I'm trying to adjust the house temperature for any reason. So, 1°C could be an acceptable interval. However, I would never be able to exactly achieve 72°F in summer with Celsius measurement. I'd have to go down to 22°C, which is a tiny bit colder, I think! I couldn't get my thermostat to my optimal 60°F in the winter. I would have to choose slightly colder or slightly warmer. Ack! When talking body temperature, a half degree to a degree of Fahrenheit is a worrying jump when somebody is sick. A degree Celsius increase could mean life or death in some cases, I'd bet. I've never tried to use a Celsius thermometer measurement when sick. Knowing me, if I do ever get sick with a fever again, I'll be really bored, so I will probably have fun switching back-and-forth between Celsius and Fahrenheit to try to understand it in relation to how I am feeling.I'm starting to think of the Celsius scale as more of a neurotypical scale. "Eh, It's good enough. We're in the ballpark." I know that that is dismissive of me. I know scientists use this scale. I assume they use the scale with decimal points to be more exact. I don't even want to think about wrapping my mind around decimal points in relation to my own reality at this point. I can *feel* a half degree Fahrenheit rise or fall in temperature, acutely. I have no idea what a .33° change in Celsius would feel like yet. The same? More? Less?For me, having such a large jump between whole numbers is frustrating. Unless I start using decimals of degrees, which I might start practicing, "ballpark Celsius" just not precise enough for me at this point. I am historically resistant to change, but I do work on myself, sometimes in super-trivial areas like this one.I am a kinesthetic/verbal autist, so subtle degrees and changes in feeling and wordplay are part of how I navigate and survive the world. I guess I approach numbers that way as well, even though I am not strong in math. It will also be a matter of purposeful practice. Connecting up what 20°C feels like in my body (cold in summer, hot in winter) and what it looks like and means in nature (cold in summer and hot in winter) or at my home thermostat (cold in summer and hot in winter!) is going to take some time. 30°C is 86°F, which is way too hot for anything in my book, summer or winter!I imagine if I was to move to a country that used the Celsius scale (that is: anywhere else in the world!), I would get used to it. It would have to start to make sense to me because I'd be living in it every day. I was astounded today to learn that -40°C and -40°F are exactly the same! Yet that is not a good place to start to try to grasp the scale, because it's a cold enough temperature as to be meaningless to me, and the scales diverge very quickly into further freezing cold nonsense from there. I know what 0°F outside in the snow feels like in my body. I know what -20°F not outside in the snow for very long feels like in my body. I don't live in a place where I encounter these temperatures very much anymore, though, so I can't make an on-the-ground conversion of things that are that cold.For now, I will just practice making the calculations for fun and to be courteous when I'm chatting with somebody in another country. I make sure that I convert my scale to their scale when I'm trying to give them a sense of scale. This little rabbit hole started today when I was describing to some friends in England what our heat index would be like today: 110°F which is 43.33°C. See? Decimals DO make it all better. But 43.33°C is still nonsense in my mind. Sigh.Thank you for attending my rant. The way out of this rabbit hole is behind you to your left and around the bend. You'll feel the 1.5°C warmer air when you're going the right way.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a>
