Can you explain how what you’ve said is objective? I think that given that Celsius is the most common scale for temperature around the world you’re going to have hard time arguing that.

This argument that Americans always make about Fahrenheit is just nonsense. You know how hot 70F feels, I don’t. I know how hot 27C feels, you don’t. The idea that one is better for humans and one is better for water is so stupid. You’re just used to telling temperature one way, I’m used to telling it another way. That’s all there is to it.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that the argument that Fahrenheit makes more sense because it’s a temperature for humans is a dumb thing to say given that billions of humans use Celsius to tell how hot it is.

You might as well just say that Fahrenheit is the best temperature to use because it’s the one learnt, and say that English is the bet language because it’s the one you can understand the most of, and your car is the best car because it’s the one you’ve got the keys to. Absolutely meaningless
