    That’s how I feel about Celsius being for everyone.

      even though I know it’s literally the best option, my pea sized brain goes “wait? 30° is hot??”

        30°F is beautiful when you have had a few -10°F days. The difference between 70°F & 30°F is the same as 30°F & -10°F.

        110°F - If I don’t get A/C soon, I literally might die.

        70°F - It’s so nice, I’m going to open the windows.

        30°F - It’s so cold there’s ice outside. Look, snow!

        -10°F - The snot in my nose is frozen. I can’t feel my fingers and they hurt at the same time.

        -50°F - I didn’t expect seals to make that noise.

        You don’t have to use the same unit in all situations. Just ask the British.

          My favorite mixed unit is the standard adiabatic lapse rate, which is given as 2 degrees C per 1,000 feet.
