    You are really grasping at straws. Next you’re going to say they’re salting the falling snow in the US so it’s perfect for knowing that temp too lmao

    you’re arbitrarily ignoring the utility of F

    I just don’t understand the utility over C. It sorta feeling like cold or hot doesn’t make all that much sense to me, it’s so vague

      Exactly. Both C and F are arbitrary, both having some advantage over the other for certain circumstances. Kelvin is the only one you can argue for in a purely absolute sense. People saying C is better for some kind of purity reason are just making things up. C and F have the same basis in the measurement of reality, and they’re just slightly better at measuring certain things than the other, but both are perfectly usable interchangeably.
