Americans saying that Fahrenheit is really simple cause 0 is when you’re cold and 100 is when you’re hot. Because it is empirical, it is a better solution than Celsius.

They speak like I do calculus every time I go outside
​:akko_wtf:​
0 is freezing, 20 is moderate, 30 is hot, 40 is really really hot

The only problem with Celsius is that it is not the system you were educated with, and it isn’t the one used around you.

@tournesol it always bothered me so much when they said that about Fahrenheit! Of course you find it more intuitive, you haven’t been exposed to anything else yet!!!

And we use temperature on a daily basis for more than just weather, like in baking!! Fahrenheit just makes everything more complicated for no reason. Same with all other imperial units 😒

@terokh I mean, it’s still intuitive for them. But the shear amount of conversion you need to make within the same unit type is … frightening ​:bolbsweat:​
