Ultimately how humans experience and deal with tempurature has nothing to do with the scale we use to measure it, but what it is compared to what we are used to and how prepared we are to protect ourself against being “too hot” or “too cold”. It’s pretty much a perfect example of subjectivity.
If you prefer to use F than C, or K, or any other method, then go for it. But to try and argue that either method is inheriantly better or superior based solely on subjectivity is a fools errand.
What does your personal experience have to do with other countries experiences and how adapt another system is to their situation?
I absolutely agree.
But that was not your original argument though.
The real argument for Fahrenheit isn’t from a research perspective, it has a better UX for weather because it’s focused on the human experience.
You are/were, at that point, trying to argue that F is objectively better. All of my comments, including my first one, are pointing out that not only does F mean nothing to me because I don’t use it, but also that what I consider hot or cold is different to someone living in a hotter or colder country than me.
There is no objectivity in how humans experience temperature on a personal level, it is all subjective and based on what we are used to.
If F works for you in the way you describe that’s great. But to claim that counts for everyone is simply wrong.
There’s literally nothing else I can say on this, so if you fancy having the last word then go ahead.
As covered in my essay.
