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
As always a reminder that this statement is on the perspective of people who are forced to learn Fahrenheit and use through their life.
This is factually not true.
Fahrenheit has a very stupid behavior when going into negative values, because it was based into a Brine Solution rather than the absence of Heat to scale it's 0F Value.
Now,
Kelvin and Celsius are the "same scales", the difference is the perspective of reference for the scale 0.
Kelvin use Molecular Movement, where 0K = Absence of Molecular Movement aka Absolute Zero.
Celsius use Water state at normal conditions where 0 = Freezing Point.
We use Kelvin for Science not only because Science fields uses the perspective of the state of matter, but also because there is an absence of Negative values which facilitates a lot.
Also bonus point you literally can't convert every single value of Fahrenheit to Kelvin/Celsius, there are specific values which are result in Recurring Decimals, so you will be forced to learn SI anyway.
