Then you look at the temperature and think eh…45 isn’t that bad. We’ll survive. That will be the moment the wind whips up and sleet starts hitting you in the face.

The “sensible” nature of everything besides Kelvin is just opinion.

Celsius is no more “sensible” than Fahrenheit for human comfort.

IMO there is no reason to cling to the idea that feet and yards, Fahrenheit, pounds snd ounces, cups and pints make any sense.….it’s kind of embarrassing as an American. We should have just bit the bullet and switched 40 years ago but we are lazy and have no willpower.

We should start calling them freedom degrees and just own that we are stubborn for no reason.

American here too… I’m totally OK with switching to metric as long as we keep Fahrenheit for weather. It just makes so much more sense.

Using -10 - 40 as a range of temperatures experienced by humans makes way less sense than 0 - 100. We’re a base 10 species so it’s much better for regular use.

Metric aficionados rightly point out that the other measures are all nicely base 10, so why doesn’t that argument hold for temperature too? Celsius is inferior.
