“Americans” ah, I see. You don’t actually care about effective systems of measurement, you just want to shit on people that are different from you.

Also, as answered in another post: Why would you assume that humans, an endothermic species, prefers exactly 50% thermal energy? Of course we sit around the 70F region, we’re warm-blooded mammals. We don’t want to be half cold, we want to be mostly warm.

No matter how much you complain or argue, it’s never going to be true that Celsius is the one-and-only most perfect system of temperature measurement. The fact is that both systems have their applications, as any intelligent member of the scientific community would tell you.

Get over it.

considering america is the only place that uses it, i can’t really find any other factor to use.

the point of a temperature scale is to quantify temperature as to ease its communication. if one player is using a different scale that’s just complicating things.

also, if its an “intuitive” scale, surely it should take human bias into account?
