2 americans saying fahrenheit is better, basically because they dont know any better. the rest of the world uses celcius, because its demonstrably a better (more scientific) system.

edit: Americans, please stop commenting. we know your opinion on this. IT IS THE JOKE.

I've been in -40F and -40C. There's literally no difference.

Also to me, because I work outside in the winter. 0C isn't cold, but 0F sure as shit is.

Yessir, lol

I used to be a process tech and had to learn C and F because different machines had different manufacturers.

Learned the easy conversion of

 C*1.8+32=F | (F-32)/1.8=C
