It's not about learning or not. It's about 1 system being fundamentally less suited for the task. You wouldn't argue that we should all be using kelvin. I mean, you could argue that, but you wouldn't be right.
Yes Celsius certainly seems more natural.
Not for human centered climate, where 0-100F is a very convenient set of human centric temperatures. 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot
You just described Celsius, you idiot.
Are you water worried about boiling? When is 100 relevant to you as a human?
Are you water? When is 100C ever relevant for you day to day?
Ahahah... When does water freeze or boil? At 0ยฐ and 100ยฐ Celsius. Much more convenient to remember those degrees rather than the corresponding Fahrenheit.
But it's obvious you're trolling. I, mean, I hope so otherwise it's sad. Because only a moron who has never cooked would ask that.
How is the temperature that water boils (at standard pressure mind you) relevant to you? How is knowing that number important in your day to day life?
You funny!
Important when your cooking. Something I do nearly every day. Rather important if I want to determine is something will burn me.
What is the temp in f where you are at risk of burns? I can guess in c without having to look it up.
