        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!

        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.
