This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

100.000 PSI is equal to 1 bar(if I remember correctly)
Unfortunately no, 1 bar (1 atmosphere) is 100,000 pascal
PSI is pounds per square inch and is roughly 14.5 PSI to 1 bar, and to me, way less intuitive than bar
Ah thanks.
PSI is a nice scale for tire pressure since most tires will be between 20-100 PSI. There's pretty much never a reason to use decimals, and 5 PSI is the most useful increment.
Bar is probably nicer for a bunch of other things, but for everyday use, PSI has a nice scale. That's also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celcius for weather, but Celcius for cooking and science.
no, not at all. bar is a logical metric unit, psi is imperial. because the us doesn't know what powers of 10 are, there's never a nice conversion factor.
US uses both and is capable of conversion. It is unfortunate, but saying it doesn't know powers of ten is pretty condescending.
I said (or at least meant) that imperial doesn't use powers of ten like metrkc
Word. "The us doesn't know what powers of 10 are" just didn't convey that clearly.
We're stuck with this shit for now, and one of the few positive things is that it forces you to understand both the conversions and power of 10 is cake compared to understanding both and converting.
That’s metric
