minus-squareDeepFriedDresden@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down11·1 year agoFahrenheit: 0=cold, 50=mild, 100=hot Celsius: 0=moderately cold, 50=dangerously hot, 100=dead It makes no difference to me if the boiling point of water is 100°C or 212°F, if I see it boiling the pasta goes in. In a scientific context Celsius and metric in general are superior without a doubt. But to live my life Fahrenheit works just fine.
