Coffee milk isn't coffee with milk, or iced coffee. It's sweet, coffee-flavored milk. Coffee syrup is essentially a sweetened coffee concentrate that you add to milk. The big rivalry used to be between Autocrat and Eclipse (Autocrat was and is the best), but Autocrat bought out Eclipse and makes them both now.

How is "not knowing what coffee milk is" still a thing with internet-savvy adults in TYOOL 2018? It has a Wikipedia article, for fucks sake.

E: Eclipse was apparently first, but Autocrat bought them in '91, but fans of coffee milk have always had a preference for one over the other.

I was looking for a Don Bousquet cartoon but the humor is so opaque if you're not from Rhode Island.

I've never heard of coffee milk and can't tell if it has caffeine.

When I studied in Japan in 2001, I had Milk Coffee every morning which was awesome. There were heated vending machines, so I could have it hot on days that I got soaked on the way to class (monsoon season).

This except it's even dumber, he based the 0 point on the coldest temperature measured over a winter in his home town, and only like 2 years later did he consider maybe making it repeatable for calibrating things so by chance managed to find a stupid brine mixture that freezes at exactly the temperature he original measured.

Hmm yes, you are probably right, but only if you meet the following criteria: are a colossal idiot.

In Fahrenheit, 0 to 100 is the range of temperatures that most people will experience regularly. Because it's more granular, it allows for more precision in weather, medicine, and cooking, the primary uses of knowing what the temperature is

In Celsius, what, like -15 to 40 is the range most people experience? And it's less granular, so it's less precise. but you think all of that is outweighed by the fact that it's slightly easier to remember the freezing and boiling point of water?

Bitch, I know a fuckin easy way to tell if water is frozen or boiling; look at it! What kind of life you live where you need to know if your water is frozen, so you bust out a thermometer? "Oh poo poo, I measured the temperature of the water but I can't remember if it freezes at 33 or 32, so there's no way for me to tell if it's frozen! If only there was a better way!"

Exactly!

100+: Feels like the air itself is attempting to cook you to death.

90s: Spend the entire day in front of a fan in shorts.

80s: You can actually walk around outside in shorts or light pants without feeling like you're going to pass out.

70s: The platonic ideal of outdoor temperature.

60s: Wear a sweater or light jacket.

50s: Wear a heavier jacket, maybe bring some gloves or a scarf in case the wind picks up.

40s: Wear gloves and a scarf whether or not it's windy. Possibility of sleet.

30s: Definitely winter. Possible snow. It starts hurting when the wind picks up.

20s: Only spend as little time as possible outside.

10s: Your dick would freeze off if it wasn't for your pants.

0 and below: Your dick will freeze off regardless of pants.

This is what I mean, all the arguments in favor of Celsius and against Fahrenheit are based on absurd arguments about the logical nature of their creation. But if you think about how they're actually used for a minute, it becomes obvious that Fahrenheit is better.

All y'all thinking Celsius is better because you're European and you grew up using it, or because you know that Metric is better than Imperial so you assume the same must be true for the temperature scales. But it's not! Expand your mind! set aside your preconceptions and you will inevitably agree with me as you always should.

Yeah but Celsius users say poo poo like “it must be 2 degrees outside, take a scarf” and Fahrenheit people say poo poo like “so warm out, it must be in the upper 80’s”

What you are saying is 55 Celsius degrees isn't granular enough to know how to dress, and 250 degrees Celsius isn't granular enough for cooking.

Oh sure, it works OK. I never said Celsius doesn't work. But it's not better than Fahrenheit. If you guys wanna say that you like Celsius, because you grew up with it, or because you're just a massive fan of phase changes of water, then go ahead. But if you want to say that it's better than Fahrenheit, then you gotta back that up with something.

You know that Celsius and Farenheit are both infinitely divisible, right? There's no special "granularity" advantage that Farenheit has. Non-whole numbers exist!

And when you say "farenheit numbers can be used to tell the weather" well so can celsius, genius:

40 degrees or higher: I want to die
35 degrees: hot as balls
30 degrees: kinda hot
25 degrees: warm
20 degrees: good
15 degrees: a bit chilly
10 degrees: cold
5 degrees: quite cold
0 degrees: freezing cold
-5 degrees or lower: why do I live in this winter hellscape

And to address your last argument, that you accuse us of liking it from growing up with it, well, I'm American and have always used Farenheit. gently caress you and gently caress my stupid home country's stupid loving measurement system.

So you all have presented essentially no good argument in favor of Farenheit, whereas you acknowledge Celsius' advantage in knowing temperatures relative to the freezing and boiling of water.

Are you a time traveller from the 1850s, we have a thing called "the decimal point" now my dude. Granularity and precision arguments are a moot point in the face of such a terrifying point.

When I was in Greece the climate control didn't have decimal points and it was always either too hot or too cold, therefore I agree with Guy Goodbody that Fahrenheit is the superior system of measurement for everyday use. Thanks for reading.
