lol in your promotion of farenheit being good to use because its human relatable youve immediately casues asnd argyment as to what temperatures are what lol the best scale is that one you're used to. too bad you're used to a lovely arbitrary scale that has no real world bearing and if you want to do anything serious with it you need to convert out of it first its ok to realise that the thing you were brought up with wasnt very good

i use what i grew up with. glad it's also a very convenient unit of mass, and when doing physics calculations i don't need to convert between anyting because anything worthy of science is already using it! the maths are also easy and also given i work with drugs and every single weight measurement in the drug universe is in grams that helps too  i just count myself lucky, really

Doc Block posted:point was that 0 - 100 F is the range of temps humans commonly live in/experience. the point is that you're clinging onto the tiniest of threads and all you have left is that you like your one because on a average day its between 0 and 100. what if i told you that the top speed limit in nz is 100km/h are you all of a sudden gonna wanna start using km/h because your average daily driving speeds are betwen 0 and 100 its literally the same argument but i bet you give no fucks about mph being on a less-than-aesthetically pleasing scale
