Celsius is great for science (except space science) or cooking, but weather should be based on humans.

minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down3·2 years agoFahrenheit isn’t “based on humans.” I can subjectively claim that 0°F is as unreasonably cold as 100°F is unreasonably warm; 30-90 is the only acceptable range. That’s arguably more arbitrary than 0-30.

minus-squareAttaxalotl@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoThat would have made medical sense, making Fahrenheit actually useful for certain applications, and then they fucked it up. Fahrenheit is just more intuitive to me, but that alone makes me prefer Celsius and then you add all of the other benefits on top. We really need to get on the metric system.
