Here's a rough C° primer for Americans
0° or below, fucking cold
1° - 10° cold
11° - 20° cool
21° - 30° warm
31° - 40° hot
41° or above - Jesus Christ I'm on fire!
As for Fahrenheit for the rest of the world, on a scale from 0 to 100, how hot is it? Assume anything below zero is really fucking cold, and anything above 100 is really fucking hot.
I get metric for everything else, but °F is the better system for everyday/non scientific use. I will die on this hill.
That's because Fahrenheit is % of hot, based on what we feel. Therefore, °F is better for everyday use.
The one you use is the better system. I want to know whether I should bring a sweater. The system is arbitrary.
In what way is 0F helpful at all?
That's when we feel 0% hot.
