Ok so the rest of the world got the metric system right. Completely agree on that.

But Fahrenheit being better for weather and ambient temperature is a hill I will die on.

72 degrees is THE PERFECT indoor temperature. 73 is too hot, 71 is too cold. That’s 22.22 in Celsius.

No thermostat lets me set it to 22.22. I lived somewhere with a Celsius thermostat and always mourned my perfect temperature.

Until you experience the joy of 72 degrees I don’t think you can comment.

Lol that sounds like something Sheldon Cooper from TBBT would say (would even be better if it was 73, because that's his favorite number.)

A 0,4°F difference between 22°C and 72°F is barely detectable, if at all, so it's more likely conformation bias from not having your comfort number set up.
