Thinking that Fahrenheit is natural and intuitive because *you* grew up with it is just a "breakfast test" failure. Strike one Fahrenheit has its zero point in a completely random place at -17.778°C. What is the point of that? 0° Celsius is the freezing point of water and determines whether roads and bodies of freshwater will freeze, rain vs snow of hail, etc. Strike two 100°F is at least somewhat sensible at 37.78°C, because that's roughly human body temp. But actually there are two problems with this (a) the outer surface of your body is at about 33°C, not 37°C. (b) we don't actually feel air temperature, we feel a mixture of humidity and temperature (see:humidex) So setting the 100 point on the temperature scale to body core temperature isn't even that helpful... Furthermore, the air temperature often goes above 100°F. In fact at any given time there's usually somewhere on Earth where this is the case. So 100°F isn't even really a good maximum temperature. Strike there Bonus problem: the metric system is great and doing anything at all with imperial is a nightmare. People have died because of the silly imperial system. Fahrenheit sucks

Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius and I’m tired of pretending this is a debate. Fahrenheit feels like temperature was designed by an human being who walks outside, feels the air, and says, “Yeah, that makes sense.” Zero is freezing. 100 is brutally hot. 70 is comfortable. 80
