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 > 0 is when you’re cold and 100 is when you’re hot
Do people really say that? Makes as much sense as saying measuring lengths in feet is easy because everyone has feet, except nobody's feet are the exact same length.

@nihl I mean, the feet thing is actually a real argument :bolbsweat:

"1m is abstract, whether I know what 3feet are"

@tournesol Yeah, it's about habits, I can approximately tell what a meter is at least as well as americans can tell what three feet are. People are just used to measurement units they use everyday.
