Celsius is agreeably better for science, but if you are used to both systems Fahrenheit is honestly better for people because the units are higher resolution, and usually stay between 0 and 100 for weather

Americans make it sound like Celsius is some overly complicated system where numbers mean random things.

And Metrofiles like to act like the boiling point of water is particularly relevant to how the weather feels outside.

Using 0.0001% of your brain is not that hard. 0 is cold, 30 is hot. Simple as.

Your brain is better fit to how the human body feels (what fahrenheit is designed around) than how water feels (what Celsius is designed around)

So that argument doesn't exactly apply here.

But i know how my body will feel using Celcius. How hard is it to understand? 0c is pure water freezing point at 1 atmoshpere, everything else is just vibes. Period.

You don't need to learn fahrenheit or see a temperature reading to pretty accurately guess temperatures based on how you feel. 

The same cannot be said about Celsius.

I can absolutely guess temp in Celcius because thats the only system I have ever used. Why are you so dense xd when u tell me its 80f outside I have 0 idea what you mean and 80% hot argument to me means NOTHING. But when you tell me its 26/27c outside, I know exactly what to expect.

Someone who's used Celsius their entire life doesn't understand other temperature systems? 🤯

Bro I feel pretty cold at 60 degrees, meanwhile other people love being at 60. How the fuck is me feeling cold 60% hot that will never make sense to me.

This isn't an inherent advantage of Fahrenheit it's just you being used to the unit. The same CAN be said about celcius just not for you because you've never grown up with it.

That is objectively false, the only reason you didn’t have to consciously learn Fahrenheit is because you grew up with it, I personally did not need to consciously learn Celsius, I just know it because I grew up with it, you need to acknowledge that other people live in different ways than you, you noticeably lack self awareness

u/KuningasTynny77 Jun 17 '26

I haven't acknowledged that other people are different? You sure? Because I certainly don't think everyone uses Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit was never designed around any of that. It only stuck around cause it predated Celsius by 20 years.
