The only thing I still like Fahrenheit for is temperature. There's a wider range for the human livable temperature, so you get more persision. For everything else metric all the way.
And yes, it's 100% my American brain can't figure it out in Celcius no matter how hard I try lmao. 10's are chill, 20's are nice, 30's sind heiß. But in the end, I end up thinking Fahrenheit and going from there every time.
I understand this logic, but since growing up with Celcius I just can't intuitively convert the numbers. If I find a recipe where the oven needs to be at 350 (or whatever, I don't know Fahrenheit), I automatically Google or ask ChatGPT to convert 😂
Also growing up with Celsius, I also don't have any idea how temperatures in Fahrenheit should feel like. (except that 98°F is the human body temperature?) By the way, please don't use ChatGPT for math stuff, not even for converting temperatures. It can be really wrong at times.
With code interpreter it's working well, and you can check the math.
