I never understood why America sticks to outdated units. Yes, I know, I'm from Europe, we invented the Imperial system, the world wide web, cars, jet engines, and funnily enough, America itself.

I've always had no idea what F means. If it's 0C, it's freezing. If it's 20C, it's decent. If it's 30C, it's hot, and if we're getting into 100C, then it's a kettle or a warm oven. Are fahrenheit people that bothered because it's 78 or 79 - does that make a difference? It's literally 0.5C of a difference. I also find it hilarious how americans can't count past 12, and it's a secret "military time". There are 24 hours in a day, it's not that hard.

It's interesting how americans love to say it's 112F and defend how precise it is, yet have absolutely no idea how to measure anything in convertible terms. I remember picking up 50L of water. It weighed exactly 50kg. If I needed to split it, there's none of this five two tomato eighty bullshit - I need to move 10 litres, it weighs 10 kg.

There are 7 SI units and everything is easy to convert. I'm genuinely surprised why this isn't something america just picks up because it's so fuckin easy.


I dont think one is necessarily better than the other. Theyee just different. At least I appreciate the nuance with fahrenheit since its more detailed.
