Likewise anytime anybody says that Celsius feels natural as well, you also have 10 people tell them that they are wrong and Fahrenheit is a much better fit for human beings.
Now I think these discussions often go about cherry picking examples and just limit the discussion to outside temperatures is such a cherry picking.
The real power of the metric system comes from going all-in. You can't use everything but the temperature scale. If you would do that it would be even more obvious how disconnected the temperature scale is to the whole system.
- cauefcr 4y agoYeah, having metric everything makes it easy to do conversions and correlating with different properties of matter, you're using the language of science (and most of the world), with proper definitions in terms of reality: atoms (for kg), distance in terms of c*some_time, volume related to mass (1ml of water => 1g of water, you can get very precise with temperature as an input). Having a standard for orders of magnitude that's consistent (micro, milli, kilo, mega, giga) is just the cherry on top.
