EEKA GEEK posted:Using fahrenheit is whatever, but alleging its superiority (really just about familiarity and the cultural inability, resistance, and refusal to do change even if it constitutes an improvement) is hosed up and American as hell Oh sweet, time for a couple of pages of americans arguing that farenheit is superior because they know how it "feels", while never considering that everyone else knows how celcius "feels".

If they're overseas and people ask "where are you from?" they'll say like "I'm from Minnesota" as if that's the name of a loving country

Americans still love talking about how Fahrenheit is an "intuitive" measure of weather without grasping that any measurement of weather seems intuitive if you've grown up with it. Gonna invent a system where 57.5 is really cold and 0.3 is hot and if I raise a bunch of kids with it, they'll never shut up about how it's the only natural and intuitive system.
