Trying something new: America AMA! 

Ask me a question why something is the way it is in the US and I'll try to give you the best answer.

Qualifications: I've been an American my entire life. Other Americans should feel free to chime in.

Why don’t you give up the imperial system?

For distances and weight, I totally agree. Imperial is dumb. 

But Fahrenheit > Celsius for the human experience. It was literally invented based on human body temp. 

The fact that there are decimals in hotel room thermostats in Europe tells you all you need to know

100 f is fever. I can understand. But what exactly happen to your body at 0 f? Doesn’t make much sense to me. If 0 F was humans death I would have loved it….

I mean 0 F is really cold and you will die for sure 

It doesn’t make sense to me to have our human temperature gauge tied to the temp that water changes it’s composition.

Do you care at which temp a mixture of water and salt changes its state? 😜
