My reasoning is that the period is a "stronger" punctuation mark than the comma, and it should be used for the more important separation.

    You definitely made those numbers up because it regularly goes above 40°C in a lot of places. The mediteranean regularly enjoys those kinds of temperatures, never mind equatorial countries.

    I'm literally from an equatorial country, lmao. Check the "regular" temps for yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai#Climate

    in the UK -5C is definitely "really fucking cold"

    I mean by that logic why do anything at all, because everything is relative? Absolute quantities matter, you could justify the worst sort of suffering elsewise. Brits feeling -5C aren't gonna feel colder than Dongbeiers at their normal -18 C (0 F btw) just because it's relatively out of the ordinary.

    I'm not mad you're mad

    eh I just use "mad" when people are vehemently against something without providing a real counterargument

      chefs-kiss Nothing I could have possibly said would make you look more uninformed.

      you could justify the worst sort of suffering elsewise.

      I was gonna talk about the sentences around it and that literally being my point, but what the fuck is this sentence? Why did you include this? What the fuck are you trying to imply about Celsius?

      without providing a real counterargument

      Hey, while we talk about real and fake arguments, why don't you answer the questions you skipped: What is special about the 93/94°F boundary, what "blind spot" does celsius have, and what are the temperature ranges at which people become more sensitive to small differences?

          Honestly it's pretty pathetic that you've been reduced from passionately asserting that Fahrenheit is a superior system, to a meek little "ok" when directly asked to explain your reasoning. Maybe next time just shut up before adding your opinion.
