>>1136201Fahrenheit is a more human scale. The typical human deals with weather from 0-100F. -5 to 40C doesn't make much sense. Celsius is based on temp to freeze boil water (at sea level) but so what?
Imperial for that matter is also based on a human scale. And it is based on numbers that can be easily fractionated into 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc. Something that is natural for humans to do. Metric is obsessed with decimalization and breaking things into 10s, which is cumbersome in day to day life. Metric is so obsessed with the number 10 that back in the day the French, the fathers of Metric, tried to move everybody to metric time of 10 hours a day, with 100 seconds an hour. Because they were obsessed with the number 10. It was another wacky idea the French tried to push during the French revolution, along with metric calendars, which featured 3 weeks a month, where each week had 10 days. France actually adopted all this crazy crap for about 15 years, moving dates and time away from the base-12 system. Because they had a fetish for 10. But breaking clocks and calendars and things in daily use into 10s is rubbish. Fortunately they rejected the clocks and calendars and went back to the base-12 systems we use today which are easily fractionated. But we are still stuck with metric in other areas like distance and weight.
