Imperial is only good at measuring temperature, everything else can be scrapped.
Idk, 0 being the melting point and 100 the boiling point of water just seems to make much more sense to me than whatever the hell the Fahrenheit scale is doing
Metric boiling system can be simplified to boiled or not boiled. Also the difference between 13°C and 16°C is huge in Fahrenheit while it looks like a mere 3 points, it's actually a difference between cold and comfortable not-so warm.
Fahrenheit is built for humans, not your kettle
The freezing poit being 0 is convenient though. I can look at the thernometer, and if there's a negative sign there's probably ice outside
I don't see how 55 vs 60 Fahrenheit captures the difference better
55-60 vs 12-15
This is really not a problem with Celsius. It’s a result of us being used to Fahrenheit. We could probably switch and not have any issues after a month or so if we really wanted to.
Mostly joking, but Farenheit is % hot outside.
0°F is 0% hot. Jacket, pants, boots, scarf, etc.
30°F is 30% hot. Shorts, but with boots & an unzipped jacket.
60°F is 60% hot. Shorts, short sleeves, & sandals.
80°F is 80% hot. AC recommended.
100°F is 100% hot. AC or you'll melt.
120°F is Phoenix, Arizona, a city which should not exist and a temperature which should not exist.
0 and 100 only at sea level.
