        Fahrenheit is fine for temperatures that humans can experience in our environment (and expect to survive, at least for a little while…)

              Friend: Hey, what’s the temperature? Me: Like 74°F Friend: I don’t understand… Me: Sucks to be you! You require precise temperature units and I follow advice from randos on the internet. See ya! 👋🥴

                Or, just, like,

                “Pretty warm but I’m not complaining, you?”

                You’re the one that brought units into it in your example. Maybe you’re the bad friend?

        Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius because it’s more specific and I will die on this hill. 71F feels different than 72F and yet they’re both 22C (for example).

        Metric is better than imperial, though. Obviously.

          The beauty of the metric system is that you can subdivide it infinitely to achieve any precision you wish. For example, you can have +22°, or +22.1°, or 22.15°, or 22.157°, etc.
