    The only thing I still like Fahrenheit for is temperature. There’s a wider range for the human livable temperature, so you get more persision. For everything else metric all the way.

    And yes, it’s 100% my American brain can’t figure it out in Celcius no matter how hard I try lmao. 10’s are chill, 20’s are nice, 30’s sind heiß. But in the end, I end up thinking Fahrenheit and going from there every time.

      I am not familiar with fahrenheit, but celsius and kelvin allow for decimals. You can have as much precision as you like

        I’m going to blow your mind, then.

        Look up the human body temperature in Fahrenheit.

        Turns out all ways of measuring temperature are linear and equally accurate. All of them have decimals.

          I hoped ypu would have noted the sarcasm in the tone of my message. Of course every system has decimals.

      What makes you think Farenheit is more precise for “human liveable” temperatures?

      The temperature is the same. Regardless of which unit you use to document it in.

        Which is why I think any argument between Celsius and Fahrenheit is completely arbitrary.

        Like, the temperature that water melts and boils is completely dependant on pressure. If I follow a recipe I’ll use the temp they recommend. My computer’s heart gauge uses Celsius. I don’t need to know what it is in Fahrenheit to know if it’s overheating.
