I'll start. Fahrenheit is the superior temperature system for weather reporting. We should use metric for literally everything else, even Celsius for cooking, but I'll be dead in the cold ground before I abandon a system in which you actually get to experience both 0 degrees and 100 degrees. Freezing being 32 instead of 0 is literally the only downside, and it's not a hard number to remember. I'm prepared to die on this hill in the comments.

    No one can feel the difference between two individual degrees Celsius, much less Fahrenheit. The sheer precision isn't the point, it's the spread of the scale.

      I would actually say that a degree Celsius is actually a quite nice measure for "perceptibly different".

        I'll give you that. Congrats, you've found a single upside to Celsius that isn't "freezing is 0."

            You assert that none of the points I brought up are valid, I could easily do the same. I don't see the point in arguing all day. I don't want to make any Celsius-users switch to Fahrenheit, I'm just explaining why keeping Fahrenheit is attractive to those who already use it.

              You have provided ample evidence that the only reason for that is that you are used to it. That is what this insistence on it being "more intuitive" comes from, you know. Everyone in this thread is trying to get you to understand this, but you are just too stubborn. You're just like a Christian who just happens to think the religion he was born into and taught since childhood, also happens to be the objectively correct one.

              Sure, keep your dumb measurement system. But don't pretend you are "just explaining why keeping Fahrenheit is attractive to those who already use it". The thesis of your post is that it is the superior unit for weather reporting. And it's just not, in any way.

                  Lol, that isn't even right. Don't get so butthurt over losing an argument you started.

                    Nice edit. I'm definitely the one taking this too seriously.

                    Didn't go back far enough I guess. Saw they made a comment about Corbyn and assumed British
