Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money

    The problem with Celsius and it’s relation to the freezing and boiling point of water is that water is a rare chemical that is less dense as a solid so it will freeze AND boil at different temperatures depending on pressure.

    Freezing temperature isn’t 0 at 1500 meters and it doesn’t boil at 100 either.

    Edit to add examples:

    On Mount Everest water boils at 72 degrees

    In Denver, Colorado water boils at 94 degrees

        Nobody ever said you did, but billions of people don’t live at sea level and because of that water doesn’t boil or freeze at 0 and 100 for them.

          Do you think water boils at 212F at high altitudes? No matter which temperature scale is used, the “billions of people” living at high altitudes need to understand how pressure affects the boiling point of water.

          I think the billions of people you imagine living on top of Mount Everest understand they may need to make adjustments to cooking instructions regardless of what temperature scale they’re using. If they don’t, using Fahrenheit won’t solve their problems.

            My hell dude, you’re missing the point so hard you’re either a troll or so belligerent you’re not worth talking to. Never once did I say Fahrenheit was better, it’s like you’re just shadowboxing with yourself at this point.
