I'll start. Fahrenheit is the superior temperature system for weather reporting. We should use metric for literally everything else, even Celsius for cooking, but I'll be dead in the cold ground before I abandon a system in which you actually get to experience both 0 degrees and 100 degrees. Freezing being 32 instead of 0 is literally the only downside, and it's not a hard number to remember. I'm prepared to die on this hill in the comments.
Stick your hand in a boiling pot of water and you get to experience 100 degrees Celsius as well. Nonsense argument.
You know what I mean
What you mean is nonsensical. What is the advantage for the temperature of the weather to always be confined to between 0 and 100, which isn't even the case?
It's more intuitive. Temperatures are also spread out along a longer scale, so each group of ten (the 60s, the 80s, etc) has a distinct feel.
Downvoting isn't an argument.
the only people i've ever heard say that fahrenheit is more intuitive are yanks or ancient english
I'm sure being raised with it influences my perspective. But can you think of a single downside besides "hurr 0 isn't freezing?"
I'm not trying to tell you to switch to F, I'm just saying that I refuse to switch to C. Give me meters and kilos, fuck Celsius.
using the same temperature scale for weather and cooking/sciency shit gives me a better idea of how hot shit is i guess
I'd argue no one really has an intuitive sense of temperatures that are extreme enough to kill you, no matter what scale you're using
I don't know why you're stuck on the intuitive thing, the only reason it's intuitive to you is because you grew up with it
You could say the same for groups of fives under Celsius.
"It's in the upper 15s today"
Nobody talks like that.
You just say "around X" like you say for every other measurement.
Maybe in English they don't, I don't know
So what you are saying is, it has 10 times too much precision for the task at hand.
No one can feel the difference between two individual degrees Celsius, much less Fahrenheit. The sheer precision isn't the point, it's the spread of the scale.
I would actually say that a degree Celsius is actually a quite nice measure for "perceptibly different".
I'll give you that. Congrats, you've found a single upside to Celsius that isn't "freezing is 0."
That is 2 upsides to Farenheits 0.
