    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.

      Fahrenheit is better for weather

      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?

        welcome to the Midwestern United States. both of those are common, and like they said, 0 means it’s too cold to play outside and 100 means it’s too hot to play outside, other than that you’re good to go.

      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.
