Whatever your grew up with will always seem more intuitive for most people. But given that I grew up with Fahrenheit, the whole “0 is cold as fuck, 100 is hot as fuck” thing works for me.
Yeah, pretty much. I figured it was probably implied that I’m in the states. :)
I mean, SI units are objectively the best, and align with metric in most cases, but my brain is conditioned to accept Fahrenheit and miles per hour natively. Celsius and km/h have to go through an interpreter to convert them.
I have to say though, km/h has that “0 to 100” thing going for it that Fahrenheit does. 100 isn’t the fastest you’ll go, but it’s a typical highway speed.

Farenheit is asking Americans how hot they feel.

but we could be using meters per second
Fahrenheit is our broken clock being right once a day
Do Americans feel heat differently or something?
They’re one of only 3 countries in the world who still use °F, and represent 98% of the population who do so. So it’s basically just America.
So because right now only Americans use fahrenheit, it must be bad? Holy logical fallacy batman
No it’s bad for many reasons, that’s just why people say it’s American
