The funnuest argument for farenheit that i keep seeing is: celsius is good for scientific things, but in everyday life, farenheit is better, because it tells you how it FEELS. 60F feels pleasant while 40 is too cold.
The delusion is real, even tge dumbest american can learn new numbers, i believe in you the same way you velive a pedo is gonna save you
I think it’s sort of useful for weather, since in most places you’re not gonna see temperatures under 0F or above 100F much if at all, so the scaling seems a bit easier. Other than that though, yeah, it’s pretty terrible.
Yeah, obviously isn’t the case everywhere, but I think such extreme temperature ranges are kind of rare (excluding random one-off days that are super cold or hot for whatever reason).
For places that get super cold (like below 0F a lot), generally Celsius probably makes more sense in terms of scaling.
Exactly, its just cope. Someone who grew up entirely on metric temperature will have exactly the same intuition. For example myself:
<0 = freezing
0-10 = Cold
11-17 = Warming up
18-24 = Comfortably warm
25-29 = Tropical
30-40 = Uncomfortably hot
>40 = Dangerously hot
Besides which, all of this goes out the window once wind chill and other external effects that absolute temperature cannot account for come into play.
It’s the usual American exceptionalism that causes them to throw a tantrum every time they’re asked to conform to a worldwide standard. There’s a reason most of the world uses metric measurements for most things in every day life, and its because it just works once you get used to it.

Yes but 69F is nice while 69C is not
69C is hot
It is a very tepid temperature for tea.
69C is hawt.
This is the same level as “everyone has an accent except for me”
Fahrenheit is just a metric measurement of human experience. Why do you hate base ten?
Celsius isn’t even used in science. Kelvins are used.
They’re the same, except shifted by 273
273 .15

Where I live temperature in celsius is symmetric about 0. -40 to +40. I think that scaling is easier than -40 to +100.

Do not overestimate US Americans: they didn’t manage to prevent him becoming president, twice - with all kind of insane justifications on all sides…
