    Never understood the fidelity argument. It’s not like decimals suddenly stopped existing because we’re dealing with temperature.

    As far as measuring weather, they’re more or less the same. Fahrenheit is handier on the high end but useless in the low (0F doesn’t mean anything). Celcius is a lot more useful at 0, and then the higher temperatures are around 30-35 which is fine, but as cool.

    Where celcius shines is when you start combining it with other units like calories and then Joule and Newton, etc.
