      And still isn’t a comfortable external temperature.

      That would have made medical sense, making Fahrenheit actually useful for certain applications, and then they fucked it up.

      Fahrenheit is just more intuitive to me, but that alone makes me prefer Celsius

      and then you add all of the other benefits on top. We really need to get on the metric system.
