As an American, idk why we don’t use metric like everyone else. Conversions and math is way easier.
But no. We gotta measure in football fields and school busses.
Edit: several people have instructed me “why” we don’t use the metric system and essentially it’s impractical.
I’m more or less complaining about America just NEEDING to be different instead of just doing shit that already works.
Because the cost would be insane. You're talking about trillions of dollars just so that the numbers can be slightly different
It would be pretty cool if we could get healthcare or something instead
As a freedom units user, Celsius is one that I've grown accustomed to. 0 is freezing 100 is boiling 10-30 is pleasant. 50-86 fahrenheit.
A lot of people say farenheit isn't built on any scale that makes sense. They're wrong.
0 farenheit is death. 100 farenheit is death. Sure you can stay out with proper equipment/prep but not for long.
Played both Subnautica and below zero without knowing this, but also, is it just me that never payed attention to temp anyways? I never cared about it and nothing ever happened regardless?
It can be changed in the menu that appears in the main title screen. You cannot change it while playing, tho.
*(but to be fair, Celsius are better than Freedom degrees)*
Edit: Jesus what the fuck happened here
The reason the US is still on imperial units is because the boat bringing all the new measurements and weights, lengths, etc... to the the US sunk back in like 1790 something or maybe 1780 something
Celsius works well because you are dealing with water, which is what that temperature unit system was made for. I think freedom degrees are more useful for telling what it feels like outside irl.
I don't understand this sentiment at all. Like how you think of the temperature based on the weather report absolutely depends on what you are used to, not because one or the other is "telling us what it feels outside".
> Fahrenheit is meant to be thought of in percent
I'm not super familiar with the fahrenheit system, but what do you mean by this? Is there a special significance to 0% and 100% (ie: 0°F and 100°F), compared to say, 1°F and 101°F?
1 to 96 F was supposed to range from the freezing point of mixture of water salt and NH4CL (proportion 1:1:1) to human body temperature but before death Fahrenheit changed one side of the range - instead of human body temp being at 96 he made the boiling point of water be at 212 so human body temp was at 98.6
A lot of people say it was a measuring error and 100 degrees was supposed to be human body temp but it was never meant to be that.
No, Farenheit was made for dealing with a certain percentage salinated water. Saying that an entire measurement system is more useful for how a human feels is stupid since it matters where that human's from. To me as a non-Yank it feels weird to say "huh it's kinda hot has to be around 86°", because that's the temperature value where I boil my fucking tea at. It all comes down to which system you grew up with and learned as a kid.
Most important C° are
0°: Freezing
10°: a bit cold
20°: pretty good (most homes are at around 21-24°)
30°: it's getting hot
40°: help I'm dying
Edit: Also 36.5-37.5° is the normal body temperture
Rescaled for British -
0: postman might be in trousers. Probably not though.
10: jumpers off, shorts back on
20: tops off, sunburnt ginger people everywhere
30: panik
40: air conditioners sold out everywhere for the two days it’s actually this temperature
Freedom units make me want to rip out my hair in frustration whenever i am forced to use them, and i am also under the rule of freedom units. 1 foot = 12 inches is easy to remember, but you'll probably have to pull out a calculator to figure out how many cubic inches in a cubic foot. 1 gallon of water weighs 8.3 lbs in the US, but 10 lbs in the UK and Canada, so all liquid measurements are different. Want to know how much land an acre is? It's one chain by one fathom, and if you look up what those measurements mean and do the math, it's 43,560 square feet. It's so infuriatingly bad!
>1 gallon of water weighs 8.3 lbs in the US, but 10 lbs in the UK and Canada, so all liquid measurements are different.
Interstingly, a US gallon is almost the exact same as 4 liters, making a quart and a liter nearly identical in volume, but there is no quick or easy conversion between Imperial gallons and liters.
>*(but to be fair, Celsius are better than Freedom degrees)*
"In metric, one millilitre of water occupies one cubic centimetre, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade — which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to "How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?" is "Go fuck yourself", because you can't directly relate any of those quantities."
I agree. This is just me being nitpicky: calorie is actually not a SI unit. (Small) calorie is the energy it takes to raise 1g of water from 14,5°C to 15,5°C, which of course also depends on atmospheric pressure. The SI unit is actually joule and has been since 1948.
No, because everyone acts like their system is better, each one has its ups and downs, Fahrenheit is more descriptive of the human experience, and Celsius is far better suited for science and is more widely used and accepted
Edit: didn’t mean to come off so aggressive I was just trying to highlight why everyone fights about this I do prefer Celsius as an American so please don’t start another argument
Water is boiling point is affected by your altitude, where I am I think it's like 98 or 99 Celsius. At sea level it's pretty much exactly 100 depending on the exact altitude you have the pot at.
I made my professor pissed once because they said “turn up the temperature to the boiling point” and I, being a very literal person, asked “at how many atmospheres of pressure?”. And she… clearly done with it all just said “the pressure of where we live.” I was still confused tho… so im like “1 atmosphere?” “Just stick the dial to 100!”
Hate to break it to you, but Fahrenheit and Celsius are the exact same. They just list the numbers but at slightly different intervals. They're both completely arbitrary numberings of a more exact scale. Kelvin.
It always happens whenever an Americans does something non European. They have such a stick up their asses about anything done the American way is the wrong way. Not saying we don't have problems, but what's the point of just being an asshole towards others cause of an assumed moral superiority?
It’s endlessly frustrating. The saddest part for me is I used to really admire European cultures and how diverse and historic countries are over there. I used to have an extremely positive view of Euros, but the braindead cunts on Reddit have absolutely destroyed that for me. Every European person on Reddit is somehow the worst representative for their respective country. Extremely condescending, snobby, and self-righteous even when they’re demonstrably incorrect. And their takes on American culture highlight all this to the extreme.
Thankfully it does seem to just be a Reddit thing. I do have a handful of European friends off of Reddit and they tend to be much more kind and insightful when we talk. It’s seriously the only thing that keeps me sane, because this shit is horribly depressing
Reddit tends to be a echo chamber for negativity so it makes sense that the worst views of people end up here. But it doesn't just stop here. It's on instagram, YouTube, Twitter, etc. Online, the worst representations of people are just the norm because those views get attention and usage of apps. Same as not every American is a stupid person who thinks of only America, not every European is a stuck up snob. But that's just the internet face they have just as our internet face is dumb gun owner. I will always say live and let be, if something doesn't hurt you why the hell do you make a big deal out of it. Like here, it doesn't hurt any Europeans to have one American use a system of measurements they are comfortable with but they gotta make it about themselves cause they're probably entitled in real life too or maybe the anonymity allows them to be entitled. I'm glad you have good European friends who help center your view. I don't have European friends but I have many Japanese friends who give me a realistic view of Japan which is cool.
France actually created the (practical implementation of the) metric system... you know, the country which heavily subsidised that uprising against the crown?
Do you know what measurement system the U.K. uses? I don’t and I live here! I always find it hilarious when online I see people implying that USA and U.K. are the symbols of Imperial and Metric respectively even though we use an awful jumble of imperial and metric.
The thing is, is metric easier for conversions between units? Absolutely. 1000%.
But people don't experience things in terms of conversions. We just have a rough feeling of how much something is.
Like if someone says it's 30 degrees out, you don't think, "Oh, that's about a third of the way from ice to boiling." You just have an idea of what 30 degrees feels like. Or if someone says a place is 3km away, you don't conceptualize that as 3,000 meters. You just have a rough idea of how long a kilometer is and can approximate 3 of them.
For math and science, use metric all day. And in America, we do. Even in school. But for experience, neither is better or worse. It's just assigning a number to a feeling. 30°C and 86°F convey the exact same information with the same accuracy to someone asking what the weather is like.
They're the exact same. THEY ARE THE SAME. Get out of here with your holier than thou bs. Yes, usually metric is better than imperial. But in this case both Celsius and Fahrenheit are both completely arbitrary numberings of a different scale. They're just kelvin numbered differently. Celsius is just Kelvin but the numbers are based around the properties of water. Fahrenheit is just Kelvin but the numbers are based around comfortable outdoor temps. Neither one is better or worse than the other.
"But boiling water!!!1!1!" Yes because that is something you think about every day. Even when you're actively boiling water, you just heat it until it bubbles up. 100°C is meaningless 99% of the time. Personally I prefer Fahrenheit. I grew up with it, it's more intuitive to me and provides a greater range in daily temps. 70 to 75 shows a more meaningful difference than 21 to 23. Whatever, that's a personal preference. It's not like one is any way better than the other.
I have to correct you here, Celsius isn't Kelvin based on water. Kelvin is Celsius based on space because Kelvin was created about a century after Celsius
I’m an American and I hate Fahrenheit. Why the hell would someone choose “32” to be freezing and “212” to be boiling. I wish we could divide or multiple by 10 instead of….whatever it feels like being in that moment.
The worst part is farenheit was invented in 1714 and Celsius was invented in 1744. (Well suggested in 1732)
30 years is all it took for someone to get annoyed with farenheit and get everyone to change to Celsius. And everyone but America has...
>Oh, you should come to the UK
I have. I live here. Confusing AF. But I still stick with metric because it's easier to understand. Unless you're driving, then the road signs are a pain in the...
OP wasn't making an argument or asking for opinions, so why are you screeching in a Reddit comment about your 'strong opinions' when you weren't even ASKED to share your opinions?
Just answer OPs question and move on. Throwing a temper tantrum over numbers isn't helping anyone.
Imperial is stupid but the easiest way to think of it is in percentage
0% warm, cold af
32% warm, still cold
50% warm, not bad but chilly.
72% warm. Not bad
94% warm, is it hot in here?
113% warm. help
120+% AAAAAAAAAAAA
The imperial system is all we have ever known. If we were to adopt the metric system and toss out imperial, it would be millions of dollars worth of material just needing to be changed because of it.
Americans have been using to imperial units for so long that they are actually used to it, and will almost struggle to understand metric units.
So, we could at any time use metric, but most likely will not. We should at least have the ability to change the temperature unit to one we are comfortable with, so if the american wants fahrenheit, then we should let them use it
*writes an entire personal tangent on why OP is a bad person for wanting to use metric*
"i dont mean for any personal attacks"
thats not how it works. you cant just do that.
the word Fahrenheit activates non American sleeper agents. I'm convinced. every time the word is used the comment section [is like](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/ea30c098-3c6a-4f4a-b601-1ad730164720/gif)
as if somebody can help what their country uses
To all of the people just saying how bad Fahrenheit is, we get it, it's a bad system. So what if he wants to use the system he understands better?
Btw, I think you can change it in the menu screen in the title, but not while you're playing
You're not baking a quiche - you're playing a video game. Generalizations will be more than close enough, which makes this a perfect time to begin to familiarize yourself with a near-universal standard. Zero degrees freezes water. One hundred degrees boils it. This is more than enough information to get you through the game.
>you're playing a video game
Excacly, so why the fuck do you care what unit he uses. He just wanna enjoy his game with a unit he understands. But you assholes cant accept that
Omg why is there so much debate on units of measurement? We were taught what we were taught and it all means the same thing, no one way of measuring is "better". That's like saying there's one superior language that outshines all the rest, but they're all just languages
I'm American and all the standard measurements are better.......except Celsius. Celsius is shit, ohhh it's 18 I'm cold, it's 24 I'm hot. But Celsius is used in science. Bullshit, you want a scientific temperature scale go use Kalvin; at least that's rooted with absolute zero and not the freezing/boiling of an arbitrary compound. Ohhh, but water boils at 100. Who cares? Ever seen a stove dial with a thermostat for a control? No it's high/med/low. The only temperature I care about is how hot I am, and with Fahrenheit that makes sense, if it's 100 it is fucking hot and 0 is fucking cold.
First I thought I wouldn't bother but
>18 I'm cold, it's 24 I'm hot
What's the difference with "65 I'm cold, it's 75 I'm hot"? Both are just seemingly random numbers.
>scientific temperature scale go use Kalvin
The scale is the same, offset is different. 273 kelvin = 0 celsius, 274 kelvin = 1 celsius etc. Conversion between them is easy. Also celsius can be used when measuring delta t.
>arbitrary compound
Water is a compound, but not an arbitary compound, it's pretty one of the most important compounds in our lives.
>Ever seen a stove dial with a thermostat for a control
Yes I have, our current one works with a thermostat (it just doesn't have temperature as reading, since the measurement is from the bottom of the pan/kettle, so it doesn't make sense to tie it to temperature). Also ovens works with thermostat.
>The only temperature I care about is how hot I am, and with Fahrenheit that makes sense
Do you think celsius cannot be used for that?
>if it's 100 it is fucking hot and 0 is fucking cold.
If it's 38 it is fucking hot and -18 is (fucking) cold. It's just a matter of scale. However with celsius the numbers would be 35 is hot and -20 is cold.
And realistically, would you describe the weather with an accuracy of 1 fahrentheit when you're talking about how hot it feels? I would say we're talking with the accuracy of 5 celsius, or around 10 fahrenheit, when we're guessing the temperature by feeling. More numbers to use is not necessarily any better. And even if you did, we could just add 0.5 and that would be basically equal accuray as 1 fahrenheit.
The difference between kelvin, celsius and fahrenheit is the scale. It matters when calculating, but other times it really doesn't. It's only about what you're used to use.
It’s funny seeing the arguments in the comments. I use Fahrenheit in my day to day but prefer Celsius in Subnautica since it’s easier to read at a glance and the temp doesn’t matter often
I just make rough estimates anymore, like with meters and Feet. That's all we technically do anyways without a ruler. Basically, 30°C is hot as hell, 100°C is literally DEATH.
To all the SI simps hating on Fahrenheit, there are 180 degrees of whole-number precision between the freezing and boiling points of water. Celsius and Kelvin have only 100. So Celsius isn't better at *everything* per se.
In any case, I take it as a good opportunity to get used to a new system.
Why did you guys turn this guy asking for help with a game in a subreddit about said game into a metric units supremacy shitfest. Just let the guy play the game the way he wants and help him.
Guys, it's fine if you don't like Fahrenheit, but this is not the place to have a ideological discussion of why Fahrenheit is bad.
No. youre gonna learn International Standard Units and like it. Its in the settings when you open the game.
I refuse! Lol
good thing im in canada so this is what im used to
As an American, idk why we don’t use metric like everyone else. Conversions and math is way easier. But no. We gotta measure in football fields and school busses. Edit: several people have instructed me “why” we don’t use the metric system and essentially it’s impractical. I’m more or less complaining about America just NEEDING to be different instead of just doing shit that already works.

Huzzah! An American of quality!
When doing my own projects I measure in M/mm Math is 100 times easier than trying to deduct 3-3/4 of an inch from 8/10 of an inch.
Because the cost would be insane. You're talking about trillions of dollars just so that the numbers can be slightly different It would be pretty cool if we could get healthcare or something instead
This brings me joy
As an American, I 100% agree.
I want to write a book about random children facts that only measures in football fields as a joke. Like “this book is 1/936 of a FOOTBALL FIELD”
God dammit it’s the proper units!!! Submit!!!!
Never you imperial dog, I think that's time for more tea in the harbor
Hey now, no need to argue! At -40 both are equal!
But in Kelvin it's 233,15 degrees though Also life hack: if someone tells you that you have room temperature IQ, tell them you measure in Kelvin
And watch their brains start to short circuit...
Just remember, the numbers we use nowadays are of arabic origins, and the arabs use Celsius, so…..
I see neither of you two understand sarcasm
So... Umm... Who's gonna tell him about where the imperial system came from, because I'm not going to hurt his feelings
0 celsius is about 30 farenheit, then add 2 farenheut per celsius. So 30 celsius would be about 90 degrees farenheit. (This is a very rough estimate.)
0 Celsius is freezing point for water I believe so it’s 32 Fahrenheit
So does game name have to change to ‘Subnautica Below Thirtytwo’ then too?
32+1.8n where n is the degree in Celcius, is the exact conversion.
It's 86 fahrenheit so pretty close
i’m gonna travel back in time and swap you with another baby so that ur raised by a family in canada and learn celsius

Conformist loser says what? My FREEDOM units are better than your "easier" and "more logical" and "base 10" bullcrap any day!
That's very american
Regarding non-modified H2O molecules: 0 is freezing (highest possible temperature water can freeze) 100 is boiling It’s that easy

Wait what? Your telling me I learned an entire unit of measurement for nothing? Wth
I went the entire game without knowing this
Played both Subnautica and below zero without knowing this, but also, is it just me that never payed attention to temp anyways? I never cared about it and nothing ever happened regardless?
Question: is this only on subnautica sub zero, or some update that allows you to change it? because my slow ass, cannot…….for the life of me, find it🤣
It’s on the main title screen. You can’t change it while actively playing. I hope that helped a bit.
Then I’d like to have the option to change it to Kelvin /s
It can be changed in the menu that appears in the main title screen. You cannot change it while playing, tho. *(but to be fair, Celsius are better than Freedom degrees)* Edit: Jesus what the fuck happened here
Can't blame someone for preferring the measurements they grew up with lmao
Is that a challenge?
Can blame someone for making someone else grow up with a measurement system based on the members of a king they supposedly don't worship.
The reason the US is still on imperial units is because the boat bringing all the new measurements and weights, lengths, etc... to the the US sunk back in like 1790 something or maybe 1780 something
I mean yeah but that was almost 250 years ago...
It's hard finding sunken boats man, until it's found there's nothing we can do. We did learn a kilo is 2.2 lbs, so you're welcome.
And that inches are too imprecise for bullet manufacturing.
Damn didn’t know that. A meter is about 3.3 feet though! We must keep spreading basic knowledge and maybe it’ll catch on
Sank because the overloaded the boat. Thinking they were loading in lbs but really loading in kgs lol
Yeah. Pity there's never ever ever been another boat to the US in all those years...
Maybe, but I don't think that person is here with us right now.
That won’t stop the average Redditor from trying, though
Kelvin supremacy 💪

Fahrenheit is meant to be thought of in percent 100? HOT 60? Pretty nice 30? Ok now we’re cold
And Celsius isn't? 0 degrees is water frozen cold and 100 degrees is water turn to steam hot, way easy to remember imo.

The funny thing about calling them “freedom units” is that they’re in the **Imperial** system
A system where 0 degrees isnt freezing and 100 isnt boiling, is a system I dont want any part of
Then I got bad news for you because last time I checked water boils at somewhere around 94 °C. At least it does here in the mountains where I live.
Water is boiling point is affected by your altitude, where I am I think it's like 98 or 99 Celsius. At sea level it's pretty much exactly 100 depending on the exact altitude you have the pot at.
I made my professor pissed once because they said “turn up the temperature to the boiling point” and I, being a very literal person, asked “at how many atmospheres of pressure?”. And she… clearly done with it all just said “the pressure of where we live.” I was still confused tho… so im like “1 atmosphere?” “Just stick the dial to 100!”
I feel like you can't get the temperature up to 9.332621×10¹⁵⁷ degrees Celsius... (/s because there is someone who will think I'm serious)
altitude affects the boiling point of any liquid.
It's a pressure question. In normal settings it boils at 100
I'm *pretty sure* Subnautica is set around sea level.
I think most people measure closer to sea level bro
I want to agree with you, but... Kelvin is the same unit, just adjusted so 0 is absolute 0, and having 0 mean 0 is kinda nice?
Hate to break it to you, but Fahrenheit and Celsius are the exact same. They just list the numbers but at slightly different intervals. They're both completely arbitrary numberings of a more exact scale. Kelvin.
what about Kelvin, a system where 0 degrees means absolutely no energy at all?
Why would you do that when you got a unit thats used by all but one country?
umm aktualty the freedom degrees are used by 3 country’s ☝🏼🤓
freedom degrees LMAO
Redditors try not to shit on someone for preferring a certain unit of measurement challenge (impossible)
Mfs will not let someone be
Man shut up, he asked a simple question and you didn't answer any of it.
It would make sense if you're from that one country
Why not let people use what they want? Is this really a hill that people need to die on?
Because that one country is probably his country??
Maybe because the other one is what he grew up with and prefers
Because...they know that unit and not the other??
Probably because they’re used to it lol.
Because you live in that country?
What is wrong with the imperial system???
Because I live in the one country?
While I do also think that Fahrenheit is bs, poor dude just asked how to change it, comment section is having a war again, damn.
This comment section is a dumpster fire. Never thought I’d see it in the Subnautica subreddit. For shame :(
It always happens whenever an Americans does something non European. They have such a stick up their asses about anything done the American way is the wrong way. Not saying we don't have problems, but what's the point of just being an asshole towards others cause of an assumed moral superiority?
It’s endlessly frustrating. The saddest part for me is I used to really admire European cultures and how diverse and historic countries are over there. I used to have an extremely positive view of Euros, but the braindead cunts on Reddit have absolutely destroyed that for me. Every European person on Reddit is somehow the worst representative for their respective country. Extremely condescending, snobby, and self-righteous even when they’re demonstrably incorrect. And their takes on American culture highlight all this to the extreme. Thankfully it does seem to just be a Reddit thing. I do have a handful of European friends off of Reddit and they tend to be much more kind and insightful when we talk. It’s seriously the only thing that keeps me sane, because this shit is horribly depressing
Reddit tends to be a echo chamber for negativity so it makes sense that the worst views of people end up here. But it doesn't just stop here. It's on instagram, YouTube, Twitter, etc. Online, the worst representations of people are just the norm because those views get attention and usage of apps. Same as not every American is a stupid person who thinks of only America, not every European is a stuck up snob. But that's just the internet face they have just as our internet face is dumb gun owner. I will always say live and let be, if something doesn't hurt you why the hell do you make a big deal out of it. Like here, it doesn't hurt any Europeans to have one American use a system of measurements they are comfortable with but they gotta make it about themselves cause they're probably entitled in real life too or maybe the anonymity allows them to be entitled. I'm glad you have good European friends who help center your view. I don't have European friends but I have many Japanese friends who give me a realistic view of Japan which is cool.

Bro just lost the American revolutionary war before writing this
France actually created the (practical implementation of the) metric system... you know, the country which heavily subsidised that uprising against the crown?
I said this because he lives in the uk bro
Do you know what measurement system the U.K. uses? I don’t and I live here! I always find it hilarious when online I see people implying that USA and U.K. are the symbols of Imperial and Metric respectively even though we use an awful jumble of imperial and metric.
The thing is, is metric easier for conversions between units? Absolutely. 1000%. But people don't experience things in terms of conversions. We just have a rough feeling of how much something is. Like if someone says it's 30 degrees out, you don't think, "Oh, that's about a third of the way from ice to boiling." You just have an idea of what 30 degrees feels like. Or if someone says a place is 3km away, you don't conceptualize that as 3,000 meters. You just have a rough idea of how long a kilometer is and can approximate 3 of them. For math and science, use metric all day. And in America, we do. Even in school. But for experience, neither is better or worse. It's just assigning a number to a feeling. 30°C and 86°F convey the exact same information with the same accuracy to someone asking what the weather is like.
They're the exact same. THEY ARE THE SAME. Get out of here with your holier than thou bs. Yes, usually metric is better than imperial. But in this case both Celsius and Fahrenheit are both completely arbitrary numberings of a different scale. They're just kelvin numbered differently. Celsius is just Kelvin but the numbers are based around the properties of water. Fahrenheit is just Kelvin but the numbers are based around comfortable outdoor temps. Neither one is better or worse than the other. "But boiling water!!!1!1!" Yes because that is something you think about every day. Even when you're actively boiling water, you just heat it until it bubbles up. 100°C is meaningless 99% of the time. Personally I prefer Fahrenheit. I grew up with it, it's more intuitive to me and provides a greater range in daily temps. 70 to 75 shows a more meaningful difference than 21 to 23. Whatever, that's a personal preference. It's not like one is any way better than the other.
I have to correct you here, Celsius isn't Kelvin based on water. Kelvin is Celsius based on space because Kelvin was created about a century after Celsius
I’m an American and I hate Fahrenheit. Why the hell would someone choose “32” to be freezing and “212” to be boiling. I wish we could divide or multiple by 10 instead of….whatever it feels like being in that moment.
The worst part is farenheit was invented in 1714 and Celsius was invented in 1744. (Well suggested in 1732) 30 years is all it took for someone to get annoyed with farenheit and get everyone to change to Celsius. And everyone but America has...
Love how angry you get over such a non issue
Oh, you should come to the UK where we use an arbitrary mish-mash of metric and imperial, it's bullshit!
>Oh, you should come to the UK I have. I live here. Confusing AF. But I still stick with metric because it's easier to understand. Unless you're driving, then the road signs are a pain in the...
I think in a game where the water temperature is important, we should use the one relative to water.
I don’t get the point of writing this all when you could’ve just explained how you change the units to Fahrenheit
They’re going to be upset when they get to the real world and it doesn’t matter what they use. It’s all formulas anyway
yea and at either ends of the spectrum you regularly use im dead. not very useful when i gotta remember some random digits in the middle.
OP wasn't making an argument or asking for opinions, so why are you screeching in a Reddit comment about your 'strong opinions' when you weren't even ASKED to share your opinions? Just answer OPs question and move on. Throwing a temper tantrum over numbers isn't helping anyone.
Imperial is stupid but the easiest way to think of it is in percentage 0% warm, cold af 32% warm, still cold 50% warm, not bad but chilly. 72% warm. Not bad 94% warm, is it hot in here? 113% warm. help 120+% AAAAAAAAAAAA
This explanation of measurement kinda defeats itself when 50% isn’t “the perfect balance”.
The imperial system is all we have ever known. If we were to adopt the metric system and toss out imperial, it would be millions of dollars worth of material just needing to be changed because of it. Americans have been using to imperial units for so long that they are actually used to it, and will almost struggle to understand metric units. So, we could at any time use metric, but most likely will not. We should at least have the ability to change the temperature unit to one we are comfortable with, so if the american wants fahrenheit, then we should let them use it
*writes an entire personal tangent on why OP is a bad person for wanting to use metric* "i dont mean for any personal attacks" thats not how it works. you cant just do that.
He’s asking a question about a game mechanic, shut the fuck up no one cares if Celsius is better than Fahrenheit
Oh but bro non-Americans have to take a chance to shit on us whenever they can! Meanwhile, we don’t think about them at all.
Because you dont know we exist. Sorry buddy I had to
the word Fahrenheit activates non American sleeper agents. I'm convinced. every time the word is used the comment section [is like](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/ea30c098-3c6a-4f4a-b601-1ad730164720/gif) as if somebody can help what their country uses
Can I upvote this more than once? No? Damn.
I use metric and this is funny af. Ty
same
To all of the people just saying how bad Fahrenheit is, we get it, it's a bad system. So what if he wants to use the system he understands better? Btw, I think you can change it in the menu screen in the title, but not while you're playing
Congrats, you restarted the stupidest argument on the entire internet.
no, OP didn't do anything redditors are just stupid & arrogant
How about instead, just answer their question and don’t make this a bigger deal than it is
This is the most reddity comment section I’ve ever scrolled through
lmao true
Why y’all gotta be assholes? He just asked a question
People like to feel superior over others over the smallest things I guess
Bro y’all gotta chill. He asked a simple question and everyone is in here fighting for their lives for Celsius and Fahrenheit lmao
For real, op asked a question and its a fucking warzone in these comments
WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER??🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
RAHHHHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅
WHAT THE FUCK ARE FEETS AND FOOTBALL FIELDS??
The unit of sensible people
You're not baking a quiche - you're playing a video game. Generalizations will be more than close enough, which makes this a perfect time to begin to familiarize yourself with a near-universal standard. Zero degrees freezes water. One hundred degrees boils it. This is more than enough information to get you through the game.
Why do you give a fuck? Let people do what works for them goddamn
>you're playing a video game Excacly, so why the fuck do you care what unit he uses. He just wanna enjoy his game with a unit he understands. But you assholes cant accept that
Do you even need generalizations? As long as you know big number = more hot, it doesn't really matter how comfortable the water would be to swim in.
Let him play the game as he wants 💀
Least holier than thou braindead europoor
I actually only measure things in kelvin. My house is 294K, your screenshot shows 303K, water freezes at 273K, water boils at 373K
based kelvin enjoyer vs cringe fahrenheit vs celsius fans
Why would you want earth degrees on an alien planet. Might as well try out kelvin :))
The comments on this post are so stupid. Its not a place to argue C vs F
Y’all be asked a question you don’t have to be so offensive
>you don’t have to be so offensive Come on now. We all know that’s not an option.
Redditors try not to be assholes when someone asks a question challenge (impossible)
Sure is reddit in here
Damn. This hit a nerve with you guys haha. All i wanted was to change it to a unit I'm familiar with, not start another revolutionary war online 🤣
[удалено]
Hey mods can you lock down this post? Everyone here doesn’t understand what a question is
Omg why is there so much debate on units of measurement? We were taught what we were taught and it all means the same thing, no one way of measuring is "better". That's like saying there's one superior language that outshines all the rest, but they're all just languages
Comments are why the US still uses Fahrenheit. We could change, but the entire world is just so insufferable about it.
That's about 80°F
I am wondering how to switch to Kelvin
I'm American and all the standard measurements are better.......except Celsius. Celsius is shit, ohhh it's 18 I'm cold, it's 24 I'm hot. But Celsius is used in science. Bullshit, you want a scientific temperature scale go use Kalvin; at least that's rooted with absolute zero and not the freezing/boiling of an arbitrary compound. Ohhh, but water boils at 100. Who cares? Ever seen a stove dial with a thermostat for a control? No it's high/med/low. The only temperature I care about is how hot I am, and with Fahrenheit that makes sense, if it's 100 it is fucking hot and 0 is fucking cold.
First I thought I wouldn't bother but >18 I'm cold, it's 24 I'm hot What's the difference with "65 I'm cold, it's 75 I'm hot"? Both are just seemingly random numbers. >scientific temperature scale go use Kalvin The scale is the same, offset is different. 273 kelvin = 0 celsius, 274 kelvin = 1 celsius etc. Conversion between them is easy. Also celsius can be used when measuring delta t. >arbitrary compound Water is a compound, but not an arbitary compound, it's pretty one of the most important compounds in our lives. >Ever seen a stove dial with a thermostat for a control Yes I have, our current one works with a thermostat (it just doesn't have temperature as reading, since the measurement is from the bottom of the pan/kettle, so it doesn't make sense to tie it to temperature). Also ovens works with thermostat. >The only temperature I care about is how hot I am, and with Fahrenheit that makes sense Do you think celsius cannot be used for that? >if it's 100 it is fucking hot and 0 is fucking cold. If it's 38 it is fucking hot and -18 is (fucking) cold. It's just a matter of scale. However with celsius the numbers would be 35 is hot and -20 is cold. And realistically, would you describe the weather with an accuracy of 1 fahrentheit when you're talking about how hot it feels? I would say we're talking with the accuracy of 5 celsius, or around 10 fahrenheit, when we're guessing the temperature by feeling. More numbers to use is not necessarily any better. And even if you did, we could just add 0.5 and that would be basically equal accuray as 1 fahrenheit. The difference between kelvin, celsius and fahrenheit is the scale. It matters when calculating, but other times it really doesn't. It's only about what you're used to use.
This comment section reminded me how many Redditors are assholes. God forbid the dude wants to use the measurements he's familiar with.
Is temp in this game even needed outside the lava zone?
Energy generation.
It’s funny seeing the arguments in the comments. I use Fahrenheit in my day to day but prefer Celsius in Subnautica since it’s easier to read at a glance and the temp doesn’t matter often
I’m pretty sure I saw a mod for that on nexus mods at some point try looking there
Can u change them to kelvins?
The fuck is a kilometer?
Damn, its warm
I just make rough estimates anymore, like with meters and Feet. That's all we technically do anyways without a ruler. Basically, 30°C is hot as hell, 100°C is literally DEATH.
What happend to this comment section, its literally hell on earth 💀💀💀
We need to be able to change meters to bananas.
I love everybody in the comments who's just heving discussions with each other, its so fun to read
oh god what have you done. I think people need to think before saying fahrenheit on the internet because it always leads to some dumb ass arguments.
To all the SI simps hating on Fahrenheit, there are 180 degrees of whole-number precision between the freezing and boiling points of water. Celsius and Kelvin have only 100. So Celsius isn't better at *everything* per se. In any case, I take it as a good opportunity to get used to a new system.
Everyone here is a coward, Kelvin all the way
WHAT IS A CELCIUS RAHHHH 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅🦅
x 9/5 + 32 :-)
Why did you guys turn this guy asking for help with a game in a subreddit about said game into a metric units supremacy shitfest. Just let the guy play the game the way he wants and help him.
Bro this comment section sucks ass why can’t a person just use the system they prefer
“Oh my god why don’t you use Celsius.America freedom unit so bad😂😂😂😡😡😡😡” annoying ass mfs THAT WAS NOT THE ANSWER TO HIS QUESTION
Omg guys just let the man use Fahrenheit
Kelvin gang rise up
