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.

Both systems are arbitrary. The numbers themselves aren't important, it's what they represent. Here is how I'd define temps where I live

Below 0 - literally freezing, bundle up or stay indoors
0-6ish - Chilly, maybe keep your gloves on
7-14ish - Cool, probably keep a jacket on
15-20 - pretty comfy
20-25 - perfect BBQ weather
25-30 starting to get quite toasty, dress light and keep hydrated
30+ Hot, especially in a country without widespread residential AC. Don't take needless trips and make sure you drink water.

That's fairly personal too, there are people in my office who strongly disagree with those ranges. If you spent a year with Celsius, you'd have no issue internalising it across all the seasons.

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.

Is this a parody? Why would you measure ingredients by volume rather than literally how much ingredient there is with mass? In addition, relying on cups limits you to measurements that fit neatly into said cups. In either case, you need another piece of equipment, but one lets you do so much more than the other
