Because it assumes that using Celsius makes the same estimations impossible. It’s basically telling most of the world that we outside the US are stupid.
I don’t have the need to know it. But the comfort of rubes is not a reason to persist in a backward unit.
But again, the US is such a backward and sick country in so many other ways, that is even better they keep acting backwards. It’s a reminder to the rest of the world to keep our distance.
That’s not particularly nice. I said nothing ill against you, and I feel it’d be implied by my question that I am one of the “rubes” you’re speaking of. Such an unwarranted jab.
And wishing for the suffering of 300,000,000 people is cruel.

I’ll tell you what: when your country stops destroying other countries (including mine) for profit, I’ll see if I can develop any empathy for you. Until then, you don’t deserve it.
Every time. I never use freedom units so if I read some reference points I’ll forget them by the time I read the next freedom unit. I only know my height and what an inch is because of phones and screens.
Feet are not intuitive at all either, my gf has 5 on the US scale and I have 13.5, one is 22cm and the other is 31cm. That’s a huge margin on what the us feet unit actually is. Turns out that feet are 30.48cm, so basically my feet is actually a us feet, yay. I’ll forget this tomorrow. cm is arbitrary too, yeah, but at least it has the ease of conversion.
why are you being so heavily downvoted? you’re not even saying anything controversial.

Curious, how easy is it for you to understand what X°F is?

Google “XF to C”. That easy.
