I like fahrenheit for temperature "feel" because 100° is close to body temperature and is also "very hot" when used for outside temp while 0° is "very cold".

100°C is "you are boiling" and 0°C is "pretty cold, but not that bad".

For any calculations or representation of temperature outside the context of human activity though, Celsius is way better.

I still have some reference books with steam tables and the like that are in Rankine (and Fahrenheit). If we’re using silly units for temperature I prefer Réaumur, that’ll really get people scratching their heads!

A full burning campfire can hit 2000 F, so this would be about 90,000 of those

The ones hot enough for marshmallows?

It's a fuckton.

waow

isn't it used by science and the military already lol

the freezing point was set to the freezing point of brine, not water. doesnt make a lot of sense, but it makes more sense than inches -> feet -> yard -> mile (not to mention league etc.) what the fuck is an inch? who fucking knows, maybe the distance between your knuckles on one of your fingers??? the point is not that farenheit is good, but that the rest of the imperial measurements are even worse

As someone that learned Celsius first, I can intuit Fahrenheit pretty easily in a day to day setting. Can't imagine doing science with it though

I think it's more about common ambient temperatures we encounter than the freezing point of water. 0 F is absolutely freezing, 100 F is hellishly hot, 50 F is pleasantly cool.

Now for scientific use it's fucked
