Fahrenheit is fine for temperatures that humans can experience in our environment (and expect to survive, at least for a little while...)
I am mostly weirded out by the position of the zero. In Celsuis, zero is in the point that very visibly impacts the world. In Farenheit? Random winter temperature.
I guess. But having friends from all over the planet, it becomes a pain running conversions just to have a conversation.
I mean if you need to be using precise temperature units just to have a conversation.... Maybe find less particular friends?
Friend: Hey, what’s the temperature?
Me: Like 74°F
Friend: I don’t understand…
Me: Sucks to be you! You require precise temperature units and I follow advice from randos on the internet. See ya! 👋🥴
Or, just, like,
"Pretty warm but I'm not complaining, you?"
You're the one that brought units into it in your example. Maybe you're the bad friend?
You want it to be true so bad. What if I’m not discussing the current location? What if I’m explaining where I’m from? We’re both in a mild, Mediterranean climate and I’m saying “oh it’s freezing back home” wtf does this mean? Are you suggesting we do away with measuring temperature at all?
I only brought “precise temperature units” into my example because you brought it up. 😒
