You're both gorgeous and have such pretty feet. Let's see them wrapped around a nice cock.

I haven't listed any scales. That was someone else. I just chipped in to point out that arguing about scales or which one is better is pointless. You like what you're used to, which as I said I'd fine, it's just dumb to be passionate about something that's arbitrary. The only reason other people are trying to convince you that Celsius is fine it's because it's pointless for humanity as a whole to have different measurement units in different countries.
At some point the people living in the middle of the North American continent will have to switch, it might be 1000 years from now but the standardisation will come eventually. There will be loads of people like you complaining, but then once the switch happens it'll be absolutely fine and nothing of value will be lost. All the arguing that will happen between then and now about which system is better will have been pointless.
You just described the difference between -5C and -15C without any difficulty at all. The rest of the world uses Celsius. There's zero actual tangible benefit to using fahrenheit. The US doesn't have any economic, social, political, technological, artistic, or theological advantage because they use fahrenheit.
It's what you're used to. That's it. That's the only reason you would like it. It's fine to say that. "It would be a pain in the arse for a few years adjusting the nation to using Celsius" is fine as your reasoning for liking it.
The UK finally fully switched from imperial weights/volumes for goods to metric in '95. Some people kicked up a fuss for a while about it, but a recent poll showed that 98% of people don't want to bring imperial back.
All the arguments that dragged on for years about how difficult and confusing it would be to use unfamiliar units were worthless drivel. Buying a 450g package of mince instead of a 1lbs package of mince is something you get used to insanely quickly unless you're a moron. If the US decided to switch to Celsius you'd have a bunch of people kicking off, but life would go on and after a while no one would want to switch back anymore.
Lemmy nsfw is pretty small. You don't need to repost things in dozens of communities like you do on Reddit. I've seen this about 5 or 10 times so far scrolling all.
