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.

    I grew up with Celsius, but have lived around people who use Fahrenheit for most of my life. Fahrenheit still makes no sense to me. Inches and pounds I’m used to (though hate their irregularity). But the idea that Fahrenheit is more intuitive is 100% because you grew up using it.

    agree whole heartedly

    mid 20s = warm summer weather, comfy unless you do physical labor/exercise

      I admit the feel of different temperatures is very different depending on your climate and body type. (I also personally enjoy being able to suffer through extreme temperatures without complaining.)

      The point is that people who use Celsius can also categorize it into intuitive chunks in their minds.

        for me, i love the cold and would happily live in the arctic circle if I could get good internet, but i hate the heat with a passion, anything over ~10 makes me uncomfortable
        you would think i might be a chunky boy, but nope
