I recently moved to Canada from the US. I’m willing to admit that kilometers are beter than miles on an objective level, but I am very insistent that Fahrenheit is objectively better than Celcius. It’s so much less useful to only really have a scale from like -10 to 35ish. You can’t talk about the weather in sets of 10’s. Like, in the US I can just say “it’ll be in the 60’s today” and get a wide range idea of the temperature really quickly. There’s not an equivalent quick way of giving a range like that in Canada without it being awkward. I can tell people don’t feel as comfortable talking about the temperature here as they do in the States as a result.
As someone who grew up in Canada, I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily true. Personally, 0-10 is going to be chilly, nearing cold, 10-20 is sweater weather, anything over 20 is summer heat, anything below 0 is winter cold.
I guess it really just comes down to which system you grew up using.
Pretty much. I grew up on Celsius so I use that, but I can see how useful Fahrenheit can be just ‘cause of the nice round numbers of 0-100. Both are good.
Edit: One thing I like about Fahrenheit is that you can be more precise because there are more degrees for the same amount.
Is 50 Fahrenheit perfect temp then?
I would argue that it’s much closer to ideal than 50 Celsius or 50 Kelvin.
Saw this a thousand times, still funny
