minus-squareShakeThatYam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down21·2 years agoI like that Fahrenheit has a narrower range for degrees. 1C is 1.8 degrees F. So, F allows you to have more precision without the use of decimals. Like, 71F feels noticeably different to me than 64F, but that is only a 3.8 degree difference in C.
