Topic	Poll: The US should change from Fahrenheit to Celsius Y/N
VixYW 07/03/18 5:00:13 PM #23:	ParanoidObsessive posted... VixYW posted... I'll turn the table around and say that Fahrenheit only advantage is environment temperature reading (in which Celcious isn't that bad at all). For everything else that you use in daily life (such as cooking, for example), Celcius is superior - so it is more suited for being used as default for everything. Not really. Fahrenheit is still a more gradiated scale at the temperatures you're likely cooking at, since almost nothing you cook is going to require a temperature more than 300-500 or so. And cooking is about the ONLY daily activity where temperatures don't relate directly to human tolerances, unless you're dealing in specialty applications. Not really, I find it easier to think based on the water boiling temperature when cooking. Tho I don't cook that much... And that's not the only one either. Other examples: Setting the temperature on water heater, or taking someone's temperature to know if they're sick (anything different than 36C means something is wrong). Ogurisama posted...
