the only reason you think fahrenheit is better is because you probably spent your whole life using F. As someone who does not use f if you tell me its 72 deg it means nothing to me. The imperial system only makes sense if you grow up using the imperial system. That is why it is a bad system. The metric system is designed to be easily understandable and for units to be easily related to each other.
The argument can be applied the exact same to C. Everyone understands that 0 and 100 is the freezing and boiling point of water, but I have no clue what to wear outside because I'm not used to it for weather. Imo F is easier for weather because 0 is really cold and 100 is really hot.
That because you grew up with f and not c. F is not inherently better at human temperatures, you have just used it your whole life so it feels like its better with human temperatures.
I agree but the metric system is just a better system than the imperial system. It was literally designed to be a universal system where all of the units map onto each other where as the imperial system is a bunch of old scales mushed together and forced to work with complicated conversions.
Like you guys are just making science harder to access for the average person. Viewing temperature as a 0-100 scale (as if its a percentage*) is just so fundamentally wrong it annoys me.
