Imperial, because of it's vagueness people use other measurements as well.
Something is x stories high.
Something is a "stones throw away".
Though i do appreciate Fahrenheit for how it scales with humans. 0 is really damn cold, 100 is really damn hot, while in Celcius 0 is kinda chilly and 100 is instant death.
- xxs 6y ago>100 is really damn hot, It's actually supposed to be the body temperature. Due to imprecise measurements, it's actually having a light fever. Flip note: C scales the same - 0 is the water freezing point, and then you have the same scaling as F but in 5s instead of 10s. [and you gotta remember: (f-2pow5)*5/9]. That's an old debate, yet if you are born/used to C, F is pretty horrific.
- carlhjerpe 6y agoI forgot to mention that I'm Swedish and use C daily, I just think the F scale makes more sense for humans
- fomine3 6y ago100C isn't instant death, see sauna. Maybe you compare 0C air and 100C water so to be fair, 0C water is maybe death within dozen of minutes
