You mean other than the fact only a tiny proportion of people in the world use Fahrenheit?

It didn’t say which people. Also, I’m from South East Asia and have used Fahrenheit my entire life as a means to measure body temperature using mercury thermometers during fever time. It’s so much easier to say whether a fever is above 100 or not and then how much above 100.

So people do feel in Fahrenheit. A fuck ton of them do.

Yes, I know the meme is about the weather but… take a chill pill and look at your prejudices.
