    My dude, my entire claim is “both systems of measurement have their applications” And you objected to that. You are here right now arguing the contrary. You chose to voice an opposing opinion.

    Do you even know what your point is? Are you seriously so unfulfilled that you’re here just arguing for the sake of arguing?

    Look, I’ve made my point, I’ve provided arguments to support it. I’m not gonna keep arguing with some edgelord. Good luck with whatever.

    Of course the last bastion of the failed debate, a poor attempt to dismiss the oppositions’ arguments as logical fallacies. The only problem is you clearly have no idea what either of those logical fallacies are. Didn’t even mention reductio ad absurdum.

    It’s ridiculous that you’re actually here arguing that there’s absolutely no place in modern science for the fahrenheit system of measurement. What a backwards, preposterous stance to take. Your small-mindedness will not serve you.

    Okay yeah you’re totally right Celsius is the most perfectest and wonderful system of temperature measurement and it can do everything and it’s magical and perfect for every single application ever.

    Sure, bud.

    Also “repeatable physical measurements” I think I found your problem. You seem to think that a fahrenheit thermometer will display a different temperature each time something is measured, even if the temperature has not changed. Allow me to clarify for you: if you measure something at a constant temperature more than once with a fahrenheit thermometer, the thermometer will display the same value each time, just like Celsius. I can see how that misconception could’ve led to your confusion, I’m glad I could help you to understand better. Let me know if you need anything else explained to you.

    “Americans” ah, I see. You don’t actually care about effective systems of measurement, you just want to shit on people that are different from you.

    Also, as answered in another post: Why would you assume that humans, an endothermic species, prefers exactly 50% thermal energy? Of course we sit around the 70F region, we’re warm-blooded mammals. We don’t want to be half cold, we want to be mostly warm.

    No matter how much you complain or argue, it’s never going to be true that Celsius is the one-and-only most perfect system of temperature measurement. The fact is that both systems have their applications, as any intelligent member of the scientific community would tell you.

    Get over it.

    You’re correct. In a lab setting, 0C and 100C are not arbitrary.

    In the weather forecast, they are.

    Which ties into your final point, it’s hard to define a scale that is best for everything, which is exactly what I’ve been saying this whole time. Fahrenheit is better for some things, Celsius for others.

    The only reason people in this thread are saying otherwise is because for some reason they’ve tied up some significant part of their self-worth into their belief that “lmao DAE fahrenheit bad amirite??1?”, and they mistakenly believe that those of us that understand nuance are trying to belittle or disparage them in some way. I assure you, we are not.

    What makes you think humans, an endothermic species, desires exactly 50% thermal energy? We enjoy the 70F region because we are warm blooded mammals.

    “In International Sauna Championships the sauna was heated to 110°C” Yeah. And 2 people collapsed, 1 died from it. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-10912578 A 5-time champion who had excellent tolerance.

    “Exactly. Because that is required to understand what the numbers mean (in celsius)”
    Exactly, because fahrenheit doesn’t require such a random set of arbitrary associations. Congratulations for understanding what I said while trying so hard to miss the point.

    Look, you can argue all you want. The fact is that both systems have their applications. I don’t believe you genuinely disagree with this statement. I think you’re just here because you want to sling shit at people that are different than you. Nothing you say will make Celsius better at determining ambient temperature, nothing you say will make fahrenheit better for use in a lab. Get over it.

    “Can be” Yeah if you’re submerged in 50F water you will succumb to hypothermia due to the specific heat of water.

    But we’re not discussing swimming pool temperatures, we’re discussing air temperatures. You are not actively in danger of imminent hypothermia at 50F air temp like you are at 0F air temp.

    But of course you know that already. You’re not here arguing in good faith, you just want to sling shit at people that have a better understanding of the world than you. If you want to use Celsius for everything, go ahead. No one cares. But the intelligent world will keep using both.
