So every time the Celsius Fahrenheit debate comes out, there is always the point made about “Fahrenheit makes more sense, it tells you how is out there: 0 is freezing, 100 is roasting hot”.

And yes, that might be accurate but showcases that USA citizens only care about themselves, they do not even care about physics or chemistry.

The “it works for me therefore it is good” mentality is what they bring to the world and the most clear example is their choice of framing for justifying Fahrenheit over Celsius.

    Scientifically, Celsius has no more merit than Fahrenheit. Either use Kelvin on the daily or get off your high horse. Knowing 0C and 100C as important water temperatures isn’t special when your preferred air temperature is 24C, a value no more natural than 32F being the freezing point of water.

    You get used to whatever system you use.
