    F makes more sense for this. It’s 0-100 on a scale of a human feeling too cold to too hot.

    In situations where what’s being discussed is touching human skin: weather, a hot phone, water temp, etc… F does give you a quicker idea of things.

    That said, downvote me away!

      No need to downvote, I can handle someone having a different opinion.

      Fahrenheit doesn’t give a shit about human temperature, he based it on some obscure things (which I can’t remember right now). It doesn’t even fit with human temperature, I think human temperature is like 97 or 98 °F or something like that. The argument was made only to have some argument, it’s not a property of Fahrenheit.

      It does make exactly as much sense as Celsius with one important distinction - Celsius plays nicely with other SI units.

      Seriously, the only correct answer to how many foot-pounds does it take to heat 1 fl oz of water by 1° F is fuck you.

        I don’t mean it’s body temperature. I mean it’s good for describing temperature felt by a human. The weather is a scale of 0 being too cold to 100 being too hot. The typical person never sees temperature outside this range in their weather, but a good bit of the full range.

        When describing weather, you don’t care about 213 being boiling temp and converting to SI. In all Other uses, yes, C is better.

          That’s just you being used to the imperial system. I have no problem describing the difference between 0°C, 20°C and 40°C.
