You can have the Fahrenheit temperature scale when you peel it from my cold, dead hands. Metric is great for measuring size and weight and I suppose distance (though miles sounds so much nicer than kilometers), but the Celsius scale is too short until you get into really high temperatures.
0 as freezing isn’t bad, but boiling at 100 feels wrong. It’s not enough of a difference.
Fahrenheit’s number values may be a little wonky and arbitrary seeming but it gives a better sense of scale.
And I’m sure you are correct about that, but I acclimated to metric measurement for both length and temp at work. Measuring size is just better that way and I’ve abandoned imperial entirely even for home projects, and the temperatures we deal with at work are big, so the Celsius scale fits. Maybe I compartmentalized, IDK.
By the end of the year they are gonna adopt the metric system!
(Now which organisation needs to invent a fake medal to get that done?)
But space is so much cooler in the imperial system!
We’ve been through that.
Only one of these pictures is real, and only one system is used for space stuff in reality
ISO I believe
Or BIPM
Just need the ISO organization to give him some fake participation trophy and by God we can finally get rid of the stupid Fahrenheit and other shit

Like an amp that you can turn up to 11

Which is 99% due to you being used to that.

Third down and 3 meters to go!
Kicking a 20 meter field goal.
Perfect.
