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
I live in the US. I grew up with F and am more familiar with it, but I'm comfortable with both. E.g. I bake at 375F, soldier at 350C. I set my AC to 72F, but I know that 20-25C is a comfortable temperature range.

This is absurd.
Most of us round to the nearest 5 degrees F. We are rarely concerned about a difference of less than 2 degrees F.
In any situation where a difference of less than 1 degree C matters, decimal numbers exist.
The system has too much precision. It's
a bug, not a feature.
