    The fact that 99.5% of the global population uses it makes it the objectively correct choice.

    The remaining .5% can keep bashing their heads against a wall if they like though

      Not arguing for either unit here - use what you’re comfortable with and don’t be smug about it - but Americans are ~4-5% of the world and even if not all Americans use Fahrenheit, people in other countries (e.g. mine) still do.

        Pretty sure what you did here was a logical fallacy. Idk which one bc my smol brain cant comprehend them. In music yoh dont need a best. Eith units on the other hand it makes things a lot easier if they are universal.
