    “Arbitrary scale at which water freezes” is such an annoyingly dumb representation of the Fahrenheit scale, that even as a European I feel the need to defend it.

    I generally agree that metric is better, but there’s an argument for Fahrenheit.

    It was based on human body temperature, so its easier to inuit if a temperature “feels hot”
