I don’t know why people insist on bringing up decimals at all for Celsius; nobody uses them. never even think about temperatures other than in 5C increments
negative celsius is the most important part of why i dislike it. in the fahrenheit you have “below freezing”, which isn’t really all that cold, and you have “below zero”, which is fucking freezing. you could say “below negative seventeen point seven eight” i guess
This reasoning is bizarre to me. Is it 0 or less? Then it will fundamentally change the weather - it’ll be frosty, watch out for ice or snow. I’m not sure why you’d “most importantly” prefer negative meaning that yeah it’s like… colder.
because it’s convenient to be able to express the difference between just below freezing and abnormally cold. it’s the difference between wearing a sweater and a long sleeve shirt and wearing a jacket and scarf. or just not going outside.
That’s fair, but Fahrenheit is basically the same thing but for 10s and fits comfortably between 0 and 100:
100 - I ain’t movin’
90 - too hot
80 - hot
70 - perfect
60 - cool
50 - chilly
40 - brisk
30 - brr
20 - heavy coat
10 - heavy coat + thermals
0 - I ain’t movin’

it’s
30C - too hot
25C - perfect
20C - oh that’s nice
15C - I’m wearing a thin jacket
10C - I’m wearing a jacket
5C - I’m wearing a hat and a scarf
0C - winter has arrived
-5C and below - damn it’s kinda cold
