Whatever your grew up with will always seem more intuitive for most people. But given that I grew up with Fahrenheit, the whole “0 is cold as fuck, 100 is hot as fuck” thing works for me.
Yeah, pretty much. I figured it was probably implied that I’m in the states. :)
I mean, SI units are objectively the best, and align with metric in most cases, but my brain is conditioned to accept Fahrenheit and miles per hour natively. Celsius and km/h have to go through an interpreter to convert them.
I have to say though, km/h has that “0 to 100” thing going for it that Fahrenheit does. 100 isn’t the fastest you’ll go, but it’s a typical highway speed.
Outside of the USA noone knows what idk, 50°F feels like. Probably around room temperature since you say it’s based on how humans feel but I have no idea.
Yeah after I discovered that sort of meaning for fahrenheit, it made a lot more sense to me. So no issues with fahrenheit, but imperial is still crazy to me

Farenheit is asking Americans how hot they feel.

Do Americans feel heat differently or something?

As an American this is how I feel. I don’t mind Fahrenheit but for absolutely everything else I desperately wish we’d switch.
