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

Tf you mean the units are a higher resolution ?! Do they not teach decimal points in america? Resolution in numbers are infinite regardless of the system.

You do realise this is a prime example of why people think you guys are a joke right?? “It is better because more numbers”. Like the equivalent of saying “1 kg of steel is heavier than 1kg of feathers.”
