There is absolutely no reason for Fahrenheit. It made sense before there was Celsius, but it doesn't make sense today.
It's better for weather and human reference. Fuck off with this tired rhetoric.
I'm curious, why do you think Farenheit is better for weather and human reference?
It's a 0-100 scale of temperature relative to our senses and body temp. It's also more precise.
And btw this is not just "why I think" Fahrenheit is better for these things, this is a widely understood consensus. It's really only condescending elitist trolls on the internet that like to screech about fahrenheit because it lets them feel like they're smarter than everyone else (this very thread being a fine example). Anyone who actually knows what they're talking about knows there is no one single tool or reference that is best for all applications.
Not really. This is more a matter of what you're used to than "more tuned to the senses". Which is nonsense.
It's fine if you like it, but don't make up junk reasons. Just own it.
"It's fine if you like it, but don't make up junk reasons. Just own it."
Take your own advice. I'm the only one here that's provided legitimate reasons as to why this is true, every other comment is basically just "lmao fuck Fahrenheit amirite?"
But honestly I'm really not surprised that a random meme community on the internet doesn't understand an idea more complicated than "x good, y bad". Believe it or not, science is more complex than that.
Oof, struck a nerve huh? You didn't provide a concrete reason. You say it's relative to our senses, but it isn't any more than any other scale is.
Anyway, as I said, you can just like it cause you do. You don't have to make up reasons for it.
It's only widely understood consensus in the USA. This would mean all countries not using Fahrenheit (so the most countries) are elitist.
I didn't say "not using fahrenheit is elitist".
I said "screeching and circlejerking on the internet about how fahrenheit sucks is the behavior of elitist trolls that just like to consider themselves superior to others."
A person from a metric country complaining about fahrenheit because they don't understand it is exactly as ignorant as a person from an imperial country complaining about metric.
Fortunately, in the U.S. we understand that both have their applications and use them accordingly.
You do not understand. The imperial system doesn't have any use. You only see a use, because you grew up with it. It's completely arbitrary and redundant. You can completely replace Fahrenheit with Celsius and you won't miss anything.
Below 0 is freezing, 0-15 is cold, 15-20 is comfy, 20-25 is warm, 25-30 is hot, above 30 just stay out of the fucking sun, 100 your water is cooking. You see it's easy to read how humans feel and as a bonus you don't need to remember arbitrary numbers for relevant temperatures.
Wow either you're trying really hard to not understand or you're really just too thick to comprehend the information I'm giving you. Either way I'm not wasting my time on you anymore. You'll understand when you have more experience in life.
Until then, enjoy your circlejerk, I guess.
