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 am not familiar with fahrenheit, but celsius and kelvin allow for decimals. You can have as much precision as you like

I use imperial everyday at work building stuff I don't really need complex math at all in my life, and barely measurements outside of what is easily done in my head or by eye. Temperature I rarely use in a meaningful way.The two aren't mutually exclusive in practice in your lives apparently. This is a non issue altogether. More people using metric is the best argument, but it's probably more about how dumb Americans are more than anything.

Could Always Use both it's not confusing at all

I don't think aliens would see metric as pure logic tbh. Oh its 10! Big 10! Look at it go! Oh your still doing verbal and written?

Whatever you guys decide, Idc.
