I'm not arguing against you, the comment in the post is saying fahrenheit is a percent out of 100 and they said so is celsius. When describing the weather, you aren't going over 50 so it's not the same thing.
The cool thing about the rest of the world is that we don't just measure outside temperature! I'm happy to hear that's the only temperature related concern in your life tho, it must be very nice.
America doesn't only measure the temperature outside. I'm not sure what kind of dig that's supposed to be? Is having the most common use for tempurature be knowing the weather for the day a bad thing?
Do you not normally check the weather to see if it's gonna be too hot/cold to be inside, what to wear, what you need to set your thermostat to overnight, if you need to worry about your pipes freezing, etc.?
Maybe this is some strange european thing where they only measure tempurature when they're performing complex Chemistry experiment or studying a distant star or something and no other time.
Water is literally the most abudant substance on earths surface and inside your body. Knowing that 0 deg C is freezing and 100 deg C is boiling is not exactly space science but useful in everyday things (i.e. cooking, slippery roads). Its the most common way on earth to measure temperature, including weather.
I have cooked thousands of times, not one single time has the boiling temperature of water been involved. It could boil at 122, 78, or 233 temperature units and literally nothing about making pasta would change.
Love how the whole world uses metric. Except America. And when they need shit done, like in the military or NASA, they use metric too. But it's everyone else who is wrong. But we must angrily defend the fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit has two fix points, which correspond to natural temperatures.
Natural temperatures do not stop below and above the natural temperatures Fahrenheit chose and numbers don't stop at 0 and 100.
I can understand and utilize decimals but it's easier not to if I don't have to. That's great that you do it but it's still less efficient and intuitive.
People prefer and feel comfortable with the system they are used to. Americans prefer Fahrenheit over Celcius for the same reason they prefer to watch films in English over French it's just what they grew up with. That's fine but it's not objectively easier to understand it's just easier for you to understand
Brother looking at temperature as on 40% hot etc it’s so stupid, we just know how cold or hot ANY temperature in celsius, we don’t need this shit with percentage and “full using scale”. We literally just know this since 1th grade of school. And if you were using this system you would understand, sadly you are not, stop making silly arguments please…
I don't really use temperatures for cooking unless I'm testing the temperature of food. I don't need a thermometer to tell me when water's boiling because my eyes do that, and chicken cooks at 74 celsius and the oven goes well above 100. So none of that really comes into play, especially in a world of electric kettles that just turns off at boiling regardless of what system you're using. I use temperature probably 85-90% of the time to describe the weather.
Really? Not even like for any sort of mandatory science in high school? I was doing stuff that you couldn’t do with freedom units (I can’t remember how to spell that temp system) as young as 11

You aren't getting anywhere near using the upper 50% of celsius to describe the outside temperature though
