    That is a weird argument. TBH there are only like six ACTUAL temperatures: fucking hot, hot, warm, cool, cold, fuckin’ cold. Everything else is paperwork and doesn’t really inform your day to day. The difference between say 30 and 29C is maybe undoing a button on your shirt.

    Subjectively? I only really think there are like six temperatures. Fucking hot, hot, warm, cool, cold, fucking cold. My clothing choices change at each stage of that scale.

    Just because F encapsulates that in a positive integer 1-100 scale doesn’t really make it appeal to me. C feels much more natural, more human, because you’re not dealing with ludicrously small increments that don’t matter for day to day use, and the 0-30 captures almost all temperatures you’re going to actually see day to day.

    It irks me that people are trying to turn their personal prejudices and habits into like, objective universal laws.
