"Stupidly unrelateable" lol. lmao
Americans stop universalizing your experience challenge (impossible)
ITT:
The exact same shit you're hollering about but from the other side. It's almost like it's all pretty fucking lame and you should just log off.
SI is not "relatable" it is based on universally observable constants. no one has to ask another country "hey what's a kilogram" or "how long is a meter" you just do some math
to be fairrrrrrrrrrr, us units are all defined through metric units. so same
Justifying why it's not reallllly the same kinda bellyaching.
This web forum is a good source of consistency and intelligence at all times.
I never said anything about Celsius being better. I was pointing out that "Fahrenheit is more human" - a take I see all the time from Americans - only seems to hold water if you are familiar with Fahrenheit. But then it just reduces to Fahrenheit is good because it's familiar. Which... yeah lol.
Celsius isn't better for regular people with the sole exception of telling you what kind of precipitation is falling based on the minus sign. But it's not worse either
