Fahrenheit is a fuck. Everyone should use Celsius.

Edit: I will not take criticism from Am*****ns

It is currently -40 for me. That is so cold I don't need to specify.

    Fahrenheit is more human oriented. One of its defining points is literally based on human body temperature.

    Celcuis is great for science and all, but Fahrenheit works just fine for weather.

        I'll just quote the other commenter that said it better:

        Fahrenheit has 0 for “god damn it’s cold out” and 100 for “holy fuck it’s hot out”

          Well, if you've used Celsius all your life you would intuitively know what temperature is very cold vs very hot, just like if you used fahrenheit.

      Fahrenheit has 0 for "god damn it's cold out" and 100 for "holy fuck it's hot out"

      It's shit and dumb for scientific measurements but it's almost perfectly aligned to temperatures we can live in

      Human body temperature is like 36.6 Celsius, that's 97.88 Fahrenheit, I don't see why that is better.

        Fahrenheit made his best observation of human body temperature and labelled it 96 degrees (not sure why 96 instead of 100, but close enough). Obviously his estimate wasn't perfect (neither is Celsius, water boils at 99.97), but it has the effect of putting body temperature somewhere around 100.

      Someone gets it. All these geocentric flat earths on here.
