Why America still uses Fahrenheit.
came across it while browsing YouTube, felt like making a response, but didn't want to post this on youtube...
It is a generic "Why Metric is better than Imperial measure", which I generally agree with. I wish we would switch over for everything but temperature. (I actually started school right around the time of the first big metric US push in the early 1970s)
I like the 100 degree living range that is in the Fahrenheit system. 0-100 F is mostly the range of habitable areas. There are areas that are outside the range, but I don't think that humans live there long term.
Phoenix does get above 100F during the summer (can get over 115F somewhat regularly), largely due to the heat island effect, but when it is that hot, everyone who can stays inside.
