Step 1: be a fascist

Nah, then they just flip you back.

Do a thumbs down while shaking your head. They don't know how to respond to that.

Like, who would even want a car that is impossible to escape from during an emergency?

It was also that old appliances were expensive at the time.

If you buy a fridge for 3000€ today, it will also last you a very long time.

Never let perfection be the enemy of good.

You'd have a point, if the weather stopped at 100°F.

Anything above your body temperature is bad for your health.

So 37° is already too hot.

Tell that to The Mars Climate Orbiter

I wince every time I come in contact with this archaic form of measurement. And then have to convert everything myself just to get an idea of what they are saying.

I only have this problem if the content comes from 3 countries, the other 192 do not have this problem.

Anyway, it is only going to become more expensive as time goes on. The cheapest was back in 1790. The next cheapest is now.

Fahrenheit is how the scale between the temperature of a specific brine solution to the estimated temperature on a specific women with a fever "feels". It is not based on humans in any way. That is only what Americans like to push because they have only ever known Fahrenheit.

To me Celsius is how the temperature feels to a human. Because that is what I've grown up with.

How humans perceive things like temperature also widely ranges. What for some is too hot, for other is too cold. Had Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit grown up in a different climate, your entire temperature scale would be different.

Human senses is thus a dumb way to base any scale on. Better to use something static ... like water. One of the most abundant things on our planet.

The average user was incompetent WAY before Microsoft ever entered the scene.

Knowing anything about computers is a lot more niche than you think.
