    It is better scale for human habitation. No one goes outside and ask how many degrees from boiling point of water is the weather. That is stupid. Then you use a decimal for finer scale. Just use 0 to 100.

      It is better scale for human habitation.

      Citation needed, since the rest of the world seems to understand how Celsius feels just fine.

      Like any learned system, it makes perfect sense to me that 25°C is pretty nice and 0°C is pretty chilly, and anytime it’s below 0°C the precipitation is different. Pretty straightforward.

      However, when I hear that its a nice 72°F day in the US, that makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Nor does 32°F have any relationship with sanity or scale when that’s randomly the freezing point.

      No one goes outside and ask how many degrees from boiling point of water is the weather.

      That’s not how anyone has every thought about the weather, using any system.

      Just use 0 to 100.

      That’s what we’re doing already
