    The imperial vs metric thing doesn’t really bother me as an imperial user, since it’s all I’ve ever known and is ingrained. However, fahrenheit is the superior temperature unit. Celsius is too narrow, for effectively portraying temps, at least with weather and cooking, IMO.

      The difference between 20ºC and 21ºC is imperceptible to a human. Ignoring the fact that you can easily increment in halves (20.5ºC), making your point complete moot, how is it narrow? Also, Celsius is an absolute scale, just like Kelvin. Fahrenheit is an abomination.

        Fahrenheit is more descriptive. You could do half degrees, but it’s better to use whole degrees and have more to choose from. It’s better for cooking because it offers more granularity. I personally feel it’s vastly superior but to each their own.

          Fahrenheit is more descriptive.

          Why and how? You haven’t provided any evidence of this.

          it’s better to use whole degrees and have more to choose from

          Why? You haven’t provided any evidence of this.

          It’s better for cooking because it offers more granularity.

          Again, you can use any value between any two degrees as needed. Are 'muricans so slow that they can’t deal with decimal fractions?

          I personally feel it’s vastly superior

          Which is completely irrelevant. Your feelings mean literally nothing when we’re discussing the inherent characteristics of a system.

            Holy shit dude… You’re acting like I killed your fucking dog or something. I think fahrenheit is better, you don’t. They are both opinions, and your’s doesn’t mean any more than mine.

            The reason I think it’s more descriptive is because interpreting whole numbers is easier and more intuitive, which is the main crux of my opinion, and for standard ranges that most people use, I think its clearer to use fahrenheit. You can throw your casserole in the oven at a nice 182.22C, and I’ll put mine in at 350F.

            Honestly, what’s worse than the imperial system are metric users than think they’re hot shit because they were born into a different system and can’t figure imperial out.

              Are you a child? Because otherwise you’re possibly the most infantile adult I’ve ever seen. You make broad unfounded statements, then immediately backpedal and feel offended when called out for it.

              No, opinions aren’t equivalent to facts. You can’t just say “hurr durr, I belive 2 is a bigger number than 3, you keep your opinion and I keep mine”.

              for standard ranges that most people use, I think its clearer to use fahrenheit.

              Where did you find this information? What research did you look into that states people find the specific set of numbers used in Fahrenheit clearer? No, “my 'murican friends think so” doesn’t count as research.

              You can throw your casserole in the oven at a nice 182.22C, and I’ll put mine in at 350F.

              Fallacious argumentation. As previously stated, the difference between 182 and 183 is negligible. You try to ascribe an extra level of complexity which doesn’t exist in reality.

              can’t figure imperial out.

              There’s no need to “figure out” an inferior system which was abandoned by the world for being too archaic. Or are you still “figuring out” old English?

                I don’t think that a source is required to explain that whole numbers are easier to comprehend than decimals. You yourself have brought to the table exactly zero reasons you think Celsius is better. Cool, you remember 0 and 100, I remember 32 and 212, but because I’m not an idiot I can also remember Celsius.

                Unless you can provide some sort of study that definitively finds Celsius as a better system, then you are just presenting your own opinion.

                And the imperial system is going plenty strong. It’s used in the majority of aerospace manufacturing around the world. But I’m not out here defending imperial, because it isn’t as clear as metric.

                Sure the difference between 1 degree of Celsius or Fahrenheit is feels negligible, but I’d still rather use a system that is clearer to understand at a glance and provides more whole number granularity when reading it off.

                  The fact you don’t even know that Celsius is the same as Kelvin with a constant 273 added to it tells me so much about your failed education.

                  And the imperial system is going plenty strong. It’s used in the majority of aerospace manufacturing around the world.

                  It isn’t. Once again, deluded 'murican doesn’t understand anything about the world. How shocking.

                  but I’d still rather use a system that is clearer to understand at a glance and provides more whole number granularity when reading it off.

                  You still haven’t provided any evidence that this is true. I’m starting to think you’re mentally challenged.

                    So you still haven’t given any reason why Celsius is better. You keep saying I haven’t put forth anything, but you just fucking jerk off to “hur dur 'murica. Did you hear me say 'murica? I’m a one trick fucking pony that can insult but not defend his point. Lol 'murica.”

                    Touch grass, experience the world, grow the fuck up.
