    No negative numbers needed for most cases, 0-100 scale for the extremes MOST people need to care about with relative “feels like” every 10 degrees (but realistically every 5 is distinguishable, even smaller amounts depending). Ez pz.

    IDK why you’re so defensive about Celsius lol. It’s okay to admit when an SI unit has a poor application. Your ONLY defense for it is “well people can get used to it” which is the exact same reason I could say “well you could just get used to feet, inches, yards, miles, pounds, ounces, fluid ounces, teaspoons, tablespoons, etc” - it’s a shit argument for both.

    But oh that’s right this is Lemmy where “america bad” for everything.

      Right, so…once again, your argument is that you feel that Fahrenheit makes more sense, because that’s what you’re used to

      I never said that C is better because people can get used to it, you’re just making that up. I said that the system people are used to is inherently going to be the one that makes the most intuitive sense to them, and that applies to both C and F.

      The rest of what you said applies equally to any system of measurement.

      I don’t understand why you’re so angry about this?

        The entire point of this post under which we are all commenting is insinuating a superior system of measure. Jesus you actually are this stupid.
