    I agree when it comes to weather as well. 100 is too hot to be outside and 0 is way too cold to be outside. You don’t have to have decimal places on thermostats

        When I’m talking about weather, I don’t necessarily care about the freezing point of water though, I care about the temperatures at which I feel uncomfortable or are in potential danger.

        At the end of the day though, I think it really just comes down to what you grew up with using. I’m comfortable with Fahrenheit because that’s what I grew up with, people who grew up using Celsius are comfortable with that, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It just means there might be a translation step when talking to people of different backgrounds, which is okay.
