absolutely obsessed with the way Fahrenheit is legitimately a superior temperature measurements for day to day life than celsius (more precise, accessible, and understandable) but ppl refuse to admit to it bc they’re so caught up with the “silly americans refuse to convert to metric” gag

fun little info graph I found

[id: three identical number lines with 0 at one and and 100 at the other, labelled “Fahrenheit” “Celsius” and “Kelvin”. The ends are labelled, respectively:

Fahrenheit: Really cold outside - Really hot outside
Celsius: Fairly cold outside - Dead
Kelvin: Dead - Dead]

OP, it's only more useful for Americans because you're not regularly boiling water.

0° Celsius gets you ice. 100° Celsius gets you tea.

It's a very simple system.

Genuinely fascinated by this world in which Americans don’t boil water on a regular basis and a thermometer is necessary to know whether water is frozen or boiling.
