Fahrenheit is better for weather, and I'll fight anyone about it.

We use Celsius in the lab because it makes math easier, it's great.

But Fahrenheit is basically a 0-100 scale of how hot it is outside and that makes perfect sense for describing outside conditions relative to human sensory perception.

Fahrenheit is better for weather

You're just used to it. The rest of the world have 0 problems using it for weather.

It's just a hilarious argument, like, as if anyone who grew up with Celsius is going to agree Fahrenheit is better for weather (hint: neither is better). Who are they trying to convince?
