I prefer Fahrenheit too.

I don't care that 0°C is freezing for water, and 100°C is boiling for water. I am not water, I am a human. I would rather have a system that is human-centric, even if it is "arbitrary". 0°F is about as cold as you can go outside comfortably with a decent coat, and if it's 100°F, that's about the limit of what humans can tolerate too. If it's 100°C outside, you're dead, it's useless to daily experience, and to me, daily experience is far more important.

The best part is that isn't even true at different elevations. It makes no sense as a reference point for many people that live at higher elevations. What a weird thing to base a system of measurement on since it isn't constant.

The Kelvin scale will absolutely blow your mind. And reading up on standard conditions.

It's what we should use.

Also, something I didn't know for a long time. There are exactly 180 degrees F between freezing and boiling by design. Half a circle. That's pretty cool!

I find knowing water freezes at 0C helpful as that's about when roads become icy. Also, I live near sea level.
