      Mr Fahrenheit was a German who lived in the Netherlands.

      To say Poland invented fahrenheit is the same as saying Austria invented the tesla coil.

      Daniel Fahrenheit was born in Poland but to a German family, and spent most of his life in the Dutch Republic where he invented the Fahrenheit scale. Always feels strange when an invention is attributed to an entire nation.

      It’s like if British former prime minister Boris Johnson invented a solar powered suit jacket, but his invention was attributed to the USA because he was born in New York.

      If Brits get tabloids when it’s hot, Canadians need a colour for body temperature and pool temperature (and stripes for baking)

      I’ve never seen a UK tabloid use fahrenheit to discuss temperature but I don’t often look at tabloids.
      Shouldn’t warrant a separate categorisation in my opinion.

      Wow didn’t realize Liberia uses Fahrenheit, you never really think about them as a country that has their shit together.

      Fahrenheit is a faulty measure of temperature which was made to accurately measure human body temperature.

      Mr. Fahrenheit thought of taking the core human body as 100°F but to his unfortunate luck the guy he choose as the standard human was sick that day and his core body temperature was 100°F😭

      There is no reason for Fahrenheit system to have existed this long….

      US uses Celsius for aviation purposes.  Also off topic but what ever happened to Centigrade?  I remember being taught Centigrade as a kid in the US, but I suppose that’s some archaic/disused term.

      I just realised the mild irony that the guy was named „Fahrenheit“ which could be translated to
      „Driving unit“ in nonsense-German, but then becoming the name of a temperature unit instead of speed or distance.

      Damn I might actually have tism.

      Not happy about the UK being painted yellow in this…I’m 40 and have never seen Fahrenheit used by anyone, even if some red top newspapers use it once or twice that’s hardly indicative of anything, and people born after the 1970s wouldn’t understand it anyway.

      The only two scales that are useful are Kelvin and °Celsius. It’s mind boggling to me that a civilization would keep this nonsense fahrenheit scale…

      Canada, Celsius for weather, home hot water. Fahrenheit for pools water, cooking.

      India uses °F for body temperature like 100°F fever. But uses C for other uses.

      Being the UK, it’s not even as “simple” as the map shows – we also use “gas mark” for gas oven temperatures (but electric ovens use Celsius…)

    29. NotABrummie on

      Tbh, old people still use Fahrenheit in the UK. You also see all kinds of news outlets do a conversion in brackets when there’s extreme temperatures which affect public safety.

      Fahrenheit was invented by a German in what was then the German Empire when Prussia still existed

      Next to homeopathy, the stupidest thing ever invented by Germany

      As a Brit I’ve never seen the media rave about how hot it is in Fahrenheit. That said the amount they rave about how hot it is still makes this map too real. Any time the weather breaches 15C we go crazy and start calling it a heatwave and the hottest XYZ since records began and oh my god shut up.
