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.

      You assert that none of the points I brought up are valid, I could easily do the same. I don't see the point in arguing all day. I don't want to make any Celsius-users switch to Fahrenheit, I'm just explaining why keeping Fahrenheit is attractive to those who already use it.

        I’m just explaining why keeping Fahrenheit is attractive to those who already use it.

        You have provided ample evidence that the only reason for that is that you are used to it. That is what this insistence on it being "more intuitive" comes from, you know. Everyone in this thread is trying to get you to understand this, but you are just too stubborn. You're just like a Christian who just happens to think the religion he was born into and taught since childhood, also happens to be the objectively correct one.

        Sure, keep your dumb measurement system. But don't pretend you are "just explaining why keeping Fahrenheit is attractive to those who already use it". The thesis of your post is that it is the superior unit for weather reporting. And it's just not, in any way.

            Lol, that isn't even right. Don't get so butthurt over losing an argument you started.

              Nice edit. I'm definitely the one taking this too seriously.

                  You're not British, I got something wrong. Who never has? The aggressively-superior, insulting asshole attitude point still stands.

              edit, removed

              Didn't go back far enough I guess. Saw they made a comment about Corbyn and assumed British

                maybe you should stop pathologizing nationalities, because an American raging about being proven wrong that their way of doing things is better won't come away great from that discussion either

                  Yeah, that was pretty dumb of me. I'm sorry for doing that.

                  I was very annoyed by your aggressive superior attitude. It came off chauvinistic. I shouldn't have ascribed that to a nationality. Condescending assholes come from all countries

                    Lol, you're just throwing out straight insults now because you lost an argument about units of temperature.

                      I'm insulting you because you're an asshole. When it comes to what system is more intuitive or better for weather reporting, it's really just opinion vs opinion. There isn't much winning or losing to be done.

                        But... You started the argument. You said one was more intuitive. You said one was superior.

                        You know what. You're on tilt. I'm going to leave you be.

                          It's an unpopular opinion thread. Why don't you go out on a limb and post your own unpopular opinion to get torn to shreds over?

                            You weren't ripped shreds. You were refuted and lightly mocked when you couldn't accept it.

                              Yeah, I exaggerated for effect. What I mean is, starting arguments is the whole point of this thread.
