    So you’re saying it’s relevant for basically nothing but the weather. It’s not a very good argument.

      To be fair, that’s all it’s used for. No one uses Fahrenheit for science in the US.

      Is also incredibly subjective. What’s comfortable for one person might not be for another. I’m pretty sure an Inuit and a Ghanan have pretty different ideas of what’s cold or hot. Same for Floridan and Minnesotan speaking of the US

        0 and 100 are not comfortable for anyone.
