It didn’t say something that relates to my real daily life, only something real. Anyway, 0°F is the freezing point of brine at sea level. That is relevant because our blood is essentially brine, if we want to stretch things. The freezing point of water at sea level isn’t exactly useful unless we’re working with water at sea level.
Integers are easier to write. We never have to use decimals with F since we have plenty of integers. Yes, you can use decimals, but we’re discussing ease of use. If you can’t recognize that not needing them is easier then you’re not being honest.

I was commenting on this:
“It’s pretty much just 0 is really cold and 100 is really hot as far as weather goes. Besides that it feels pretty arbitrary. I’m a metric stan, but I do still think Fahrenheit is pretty good for talking about the weather.”
That’s what I’m referring to with this:
"I mean the zero point of Celsius isn’t a vibe in the same way as “pretty cold, pretty hot” "

I’m not sure if you’re joking but knowing if the roads will be frozen or if it’s gonna snow is pretty useful lol

Ok, and F is also great for that purpose. When that’s an issue, most major roads will be salted. 0F was explicitly the point where brine freezes, so it’s actually perfect for knowing when salted roads will freeze. You can probably know when unsalted roads will freeze by the snow/ice around. Both are useful, but you’re arbitrarily ignoring the utility of F just to defend C, for some reason. I don’t know why people make this part of their personality.
I just don’t understand the utility over C. It sorta feeling like cold or hot doesn’t make all that much sense to me, it’s so vague
Exactly. Both C and F are arbitrary, both having some advantage over the other for certain circumstances. Kelvin is the only one you can argue for in a purely absolute sense. People saying C is better for some kind of purity reason are just making things up. C and F have the same basis in the measurement of reality, and they’re just slightly better at measuring certain things than the other, but both are perfectly usable interchangeably.
Like I said earlier, the utility of the C’s zero point being when it freezes/snows seems a lot more concrete to me than “it goes from cold to hot, kinda”
What specific thing does it mean that would relate to your real, daily life?
Huh? What does that even mean and why it has to specifically be integer values??

That’s not my comment. I do agree with it though.

You are really grasping at straws. Next you’re going to say they’re salting the falling snow in the US so it’s perfect for knowing that temp too lmao
