Better system for representing the temperatures encountered in normal everyday life, particularly weather. Knowing whether it's in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, etc. is a meaningful shorthand for the actual temperature that has "good enough" resolution. You also don't need to deal with decimal points on a thermostat.

Worse for any kind of calculation or scientific measurements though. I'll grant you that.

This is such a silly point, you only favour it because you're used to it. I could just as easily use "low teens" "high teens" "low twenties" "high twenties" etc and it would have the exact same effect

Fahrenheit: 0= really cold
100=really hot

Celcius: 0= kind of cold
100=dead

Where in the world will it ever be either 0 Fahrenheit or 100 Fahrenheit?

Hint: nowhere

Therefore, that's pointless. Temperatures go way over 100F and way below 0F, why try and pretend they are even slightly relevant to humans? The only reason you THINK they are more intuitive is because you were brought up using them.

Lol come to the Midwest sometime, or southern Canada. It can get to -20 in the winter and over 100 in the summer.

You completely missed the point, well done. It's never going to be 0 or 100 on the same day at the same place, therefore why both using those as your arbitrary points.

I've been to Southern Canada, my family live there. They use Celsius because they aren't dumb

What does the same day have to do with anything? All I'm saying is that Celcius is based off science (freezing and boiling) and Fahrenheit is based off humans and how they feel (cold and hot). Stop thinking you're better than everyone.

Because if you're never going to get 0 and 100 in the same context it makes absolutely no sense to draw those up as your arbitrary base points.

No, Fahrenheit is based off of the innaccurate points of freezing of Brine (?!?!?!) and a guess at the human body temperature.

It's now been fixed to the freezing and boiling of water at 32 and 212, but if you're going to fix your temperature scale to how water freezes and boils, it makes more sense to have them at 0 and 100. i.e. celsius

Stop thinking you're better than everyone.

I don't think I'm better than anyone, you're projecting and putting words in my mouth. Besides, it's only really the US and a couple of other countries that use Fahrenheit. The vast majority of humans use Celsius so how would using Celsius even be a reason I'm "better than everyone"

You're a confused individual

You seem like one of those people that gets worked up about everything and thinks they're smarter than everyone so I'll just stop. Fahrenheit is much easier to use in day to day conversation in my and many other people's opinion. Good night.

I've said this several times but I'll say it again; you only think that because it is what you grew up with. If you grew up using Celsius like most of the world then you'd think that was the easiest to use in conversation
