It’s better for weather and human reference. Fuck off with this tired rhetoric.

I’m curious, why do you think Farenheit is better for weather and human reference?

It’s a 0-100 scale of temperature relative to our senses and body temp. It’s also more precise.

And btw this is not just “why I think” Fahrenheit is better for these things, this is a widely understood consensus. It’s really only condescending elitist trolls on the internet that like to screech about fahrenheit because it lets them feel like they’re smarter than everyone else (this very thread being a fine example). Anyone who actually knows what they’re talking about knows there is no one single tool or reference that is best for all applications.

Not really. This is more a matter of what you’re used to than “more tuned to the senses”. Which is nonsense.

It’s fine if you like it, but don’t make up junk reasons. Just own it.

It’s only widely understood consensus in the USA. This would mean all countries not using Fahrenheit (so the most countries) are elitist.
