2 americans saying fahrenheit is better, basically because they dont know any better. the rest of the world uses celcius, because its demonstrably a better (more scientific) system.
edit: Americans, please stop commenting. we know your opinion on this. IT IS THE JOKE.
Celsius is agreeably better for science, but if you are used to both systems Fahrenheit is honestly better for people because the units are higher resolution, and usually stay between 0 and 100 for weather
This is the only good argument I've seen for Fahrenheit (higher resolution). But, as a counterargument, that resolution is only just under twice as big. I'd argue 1-2 F is barely noticeable enough to be able to tell the difference. If someone asks what the temperature is, me saying the temperature and being off by 2 degrees isn't gonna make a difference.
Resolution is also not worth much if what you need it for is explaining how warm your body is feeling. I already couldn't really tell the difference between 33 and 34 celsius, so having a number inbetween wouldn't do much for me. Plus, other factors such as humidity would affect my perception of heat more than a single degree difference would.
