Fahrenheit is more descriptive. You could do half degrees, but it's better to use whole degrees and have more to choose from. It's better for cooking because it offers more granularity. I personally feel it's vastly superior but to each their own.

Holy shit dude... You're acting like I killed your fucking dog or something. I think fahrenheit is better, you don't. They are both opinions, and your's doesn't mean any more than mine.

The reason I think it's more descriptive is because interpreting whole numbers is easier and more intuitive, which is the main crux of my opinion, and for standard ranges that most people use, I think its clearer to use fahrenheit. You can throw your casserole in the oven at a nice 182.22C, and I'll put mine in at 350F.

Honestly, what's worse than the imperial system are metric users than think they're hot shit because they were born into a different system and can't figure imperial out.

I don't think that a source is required to explain that whole numbers are easier to comprehend than decimals. You yourself have brought to the table exactly zero reasons you think Celsius is better. Cool, you remember 0 and 100, I remember 32 and 212, but because I'm not an idiot I can also remember Celsius.

Unless you can provide some sort of study that definitively finds Celsius as a better system, then you are just presenting your own opinion.

And the imperial system is going plenty strong. It's used in the majority of aerospace manufacturing around the world. But I'm not out here defending imperial, because it isn't as clear as metric.

Sure the difference between 1 degree of Celsius or Fahrenheit is feels negligible, but I'd still rather use a system that is clearer to understand at a glance and provides more whole number granularity when reading it off.
