consider swapping to the better unit systemI read that as farenheit.

Fahrenheit is the better, as it is the range of where (in temperate areas) the temperature extremely rarely goes out of the 0-100 range. C is based on water. Who the fuck ever takes the temperature of water to see if it's freezing or boiling? You don't, you LOOK. Main thing you use it for is inside/outside temp (F much better) or for cooking (either.) Scientists more often use Kelvin nowadays.consider swapping to the better unit system
Technically, although boiling means 100°C under standard conditions, you have no idea what the temperature of ice is just by looking at it, just that it needs to be 0°C or lowerWho the fuck ever takes the temperature of water to see if it's freezing or boiling? You don't, you LOOK
Would love to but the rest of everyone else around me is the problem.consider swapping to the better unit system
How the fuck can you measure ice? For Americans, seeing a temperature in Celsius is meaningless. We know since childhood what a temperature feels like in F units. Same with everything else - not based on 10, but we KNOW how heavy a pound is, how far a mile/foot is, how much a gallon is, etc... We can't picture what something is in metric without converting to "normal" or "correct" units. It might as well be given in cubits, burthakas or grelnitches.Technically, although boiling means 100°C under standard conditions, you have no idea what the temperature of ice is just by looking at it, just that it needs to be 0°C or lower
Which means it's the perfect null point for our daily life, as much of it is at least linked to water via the weather. If you see a negative number you now it's freezing and all the frozen stuff outside will stay frozen (important when you go outside). Positive single digits mean, factoring in wind, there can be local frost patches, as well as when temps seesaw around 0: freezing and melting will create dangerous situations.
All of this can be known at a glance without even knowing the exact number, because it uses an intuitive scale based on something fundamental to (and for) our daily lives.
With Fahrenheit you don't know when it's cold, as we would feel it, or even when it will be (close to) freezing, you have to learn and memorize where that critical point is, because it is not the base line for its measurement. 0°F is something completely meaningless to any human in any situation. In my opinion, if the null point of a system is random, the system is too, which is at best better than nothing. Aside from people being used to it, there is no logical reason (as far as I know) to advocate using such a system.
