Once again... the classic argument of: "Well, I grew up using this system, and I'm used to the system. I have built an internal intuition for how hot and cold the temperature is. I am used to >100 being hot! 40 is not hot!"

Well then. I grew up using celcius and... "IT'S FOURTY FUCKING ONE DEGREES OUTSIDE?" sounds just as hot.

The joke

Your head

No.. I get it.. 41 < 105.. I totally agree haha funny joke. I'm just over this debate. Who gives a fuck what temperature scale you use? Just use the one you know. We have conversions for that reason.

No, that's not it, we're measuring in incredulity units, which are syllables.

"One hun-dred and se-ven?!" == 6 syllables

"For-ty one?!" == 3 syllables

Also, the first one has more vowel sounds to really draw out to indicate higher levels of I-can't-even. It sounds only golly-jeepers in Celsius, and much more I'm-so-done-with-this-shit in Fahrenheit.
