MODERATORS
It's only widely understood consensus in the USA. This would mean all countries not using Fahrenheit (so the most countries) are elitist.
I didn't say "not using fahrenheit is elitist".
I said "screeching and circlejerking on the internet about how fahrenheit sucks is the behavior of elitist trolls that just like to consider themselves superior to others."
A person from a metric country complaining about fahrenheit because they don't understand it is exactly as ignorant as a person from an imperial country complaining about metric.
Fortunately, in the U.S. we understand that both have their applications and use them accordingly.
You do not understand. The imperial system doesn't have any use. You only see a use, because you grew up with it. It's completely arbitrary and redundant. You can completely replace Fahrenheit with Celsius and you won't miss anything.
Below 0 is freezing, 0-15 is cold, 15-20 is comfy, 20-25 is warm, 25-30 is hot, above 30 just stay out of the fucking sun, 100 your water is cooking. You see it's easy to read how humans feel and as a bonus you don't need to remember arbitrary numbers for relevant temperatures.
Wow either you're trying really hard to not understand or you're really just too thick to comprehend the information I'm giving you. Either way I'm not wasting my time on you anymore. You'll understand when you have more experience in life.
Until then, enjoy your circlejerk, I guess.
