celsius is the yelp of temperature ratings

[–] TheGiantKorean 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think the reason people are saying that Fahrenheit "feels" right is because we use a base 10 number system. 1-10 and 0%-100% feel right to us because of this. If you somehow knew nothing about each temperature unit, but you did know base 10, I feel like Fahrenheit would be more intuitive. Obviously if you grew up with Celsius that would feel normal.

Disclaimer: I feel like the US needs to adopt metric already. It's so much better.
