    Fahrenheit is better for weather, and I’ll fight anyone about it.

    We use Celsius in the lab because it makes math easier, it’s great.

    But Fahrenheit is basically a 0-100 scale of how hot it is outside and that makes perfect sense for describing outside conditions relative to human sensory perception.

      You’re just used to it. The rest of the world have 0 problems using it for weather.

        It’s just a hilarious argument, like, as if anyone who grew up with Celsius is going to agree Fahrenheit is better for weather (hint: neither is better). Who are they trying to convince?

      76f to 70f is imperceptible to the vast majority of human beings so that argument doesn’t really hold water. All it does is make communication globally more difficult because you guys insist on using non-metric.

      For us who can speak more than one language, that’s approxiamtely -18 to 38 ⁰C. I find it unlikely that the lower end of that is frequent where you live. If it is, then the hogher end can’t be. Even if we want to base this around winter weather, negative being freezing makes much more sense.

      It’s not about human senses, it about what you grew up with.
