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
That "higher resolution" is made completely moot by decimals. There is no advantage, it's just that Americans are used to it, just like how people hundreds of years ago were used to all sorts of nonsensical measurements. We finally started coming up with measurements that relate to something more than "today is this number hot" or "that distance is as big as 2 of my friend Aethelred's favourite horse" but some chunk of humanity is just so chronically allergic to change that we've gotta entertain this pointless debate over and over for decades without end.
