    Fahrenheit has a fine granularity that is lost in cold climates. It’s why the Bahamas/Belize use it as well.

      Well you know that you can use the decimals?

      How is - 40.000001°F more fine than - 40.00000000001°C?

      23°C is a nice room temperature.

      18°C is a bit chilly but still a comfortable temperature.

      If you want to go for a finer destinction then we cann say 18.5°C is warmer but I personally can’t feel the difference.

          The universe is mostly empty space with an average temperature of like… 4 Kelvin or some shit. Why not use a system that reflects that? Oh, we do? Right. Celsius is Kelvin + 273.15.

        I can feel the difference between 71 and 73 in my house.

        At 73, my kids room is uncomfortably hot. At 71, it has a perfect chill for sleeping.

      Save yourself before it’s too late.

      Do not say anything positive about Fahrenheit in this thread… the Temperature Scale Inquisition is watching closely for any dissent from the party line.
