We need to collectively realize that both Celsius and Fahrenheit are mostly arbitrary and not more than practical conventions to assign numbers to temperatures. Kelvin makes more sense but is impractical for daily use. It's just US-Americans distracting from the fact that most of their units are objectively bad compared to Metric by pointing out that Celsius is only marginally better.
Kelvin is the most logical. That's why I measure all time by seconds since January 1, 1970
ah yes, the absolute zero of time. love it!
If only there was a way to tie Kelvin to some naturally occurring, everyday phenomena
No, it's just in response to the countless number of non Americans who constantly insult Americans because we have a slightly different measurement system that doesn't affect the insulter in the slightest. It doesn't help that anyone in the sciences in America do know metric, like fully, no one has a problem using it here and I know plenty of people even outside of the sciences that know enough metric to get by fine, you guys really need to get over your strange obsession with our measurement system.
I don’t disagree that people venting about F can get overzealous. I still think there’s a significant improvement with C though. Not saying it’ll make American scientists better, I believe you that they do fine with it. But that’s also contingent on the rest of the units being imperial.
I often see conversion constants with the unit conversion baked into them, so you lose info on what was the empirically derived constant and what’s just there to allow you to multiply temperature in F against other thermo quantities that rely on relation back to Kelvin.
I write fiction and use Celsius. So what I usually have to deal with is the exact opposite of what you’re talking about.
