• I’m also biased.

    But:

    • Celsius is easy to understand, even for children: water freezes at 0°C, boils at 100°C.
    • It is understood by more people in the world.
    • If the US used Celsius, understanding scientific papers and data would be easier for common people.
    • In Celsius, the range of livable temperatures for humans (-20 to 40°C) still gives plenty of precision. Additionally, each step in the Celsius scale corresponds to a bigger change in “feel” of the temperature, which leads to a more intuitive understanding of temperature changes.
      • From now on, if anyone needs an example of why Lemmy/kbin are better than Reddit, we can link to this thread :) It was nice to have a respectful debate with someone without it devolving into an exchange of simplistic quips.
