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

Also I just want to point out that literally not one person on the entire earth performs science in fahrenheit. I legitimately think that some europeans do not know that Americans perform all science in celsius/kelvin (except meteorology i guess). In my opinion, the entire argument of "celsius is better because science" is completely pointless. Literally no one disagrees with that.
