it's just easier to determine temperature at a glance (if it's in the 10s it's very cold, if it's in the 20s it's nice and cool, if it's in the 30s it's considerably warm, if it's in the 40s it's sweltering hot, and 50... you dead) With farenheit if it's in the 40s it's cold, in the 50s it's chilly, 60s is cool, 70s is perfect, 80s is warm, 90s is hot, 100 and up is why the fuck are you outside. See how much more range F has? Imperial and other pre-metric systems were largely centered on the human body, so it feels more natural. The metric system is based on very arbitrary numbers. Also I do not get why the fuck metric users insist on measuring cooking ingredients by weight, which requires weighing them with a scale, instead of measuring by volume. Meanwhile "dumb Americans" just use a completely logical cup measure and don't need stupid scales. --- "Tether even a roasted chicken." - Yamamoto Tsunetomo ... Copied to Clipboard! |
