This is why I'm Fahrenheit gang all the way. I'm not running lab experiments daily, but I am going outside all the time. If you have to express the temperature with decimal precision for everyday use, you've lost.
Edit: It's hilarious how easily you can piss people off by saying Fahrenheit is subjectively better as a human temperature scale. Too much of your identity is wrapped up in being able to talk temperature in multiples of ten, people. Chill out. Maybe something near 42 degrees. Sorry, meant to say 5.6 degrees for the nerds in here.
What? No one's using C to that precision outside the lab. It just depends on what you grew up with man. I know below 0 I need a winter jacket, ~10C chilly, ~20C is shorts weather, ~30C is hot, >40C is death. Perfectly practical everyday estimations.
For me the only advantage of F is you can say it's 69F out and bake things at 420F.
I agree with most of that, but I have been in Phoenix, AZ in ~42°C. Sure it wasn't pleasant, but I'm not dead.
Edit: For extended periods, absolutely. For AC building hopping, survivable.
That is a slight exaggeration, but I know here in Australia if you went out in 42C with no sun protection then yeah, you're not having a good time and it is a risk to life.
In July 2023 in Phoenix on the 20th and 25th it was 119° F or 48.3° C. Not as much an exaggeration as I would like it to be.
It's regularly 79° F to 107° F or 26° C to 41° C in Phoenix in summer. Lately it's been hotter (past 5 years)
At those temperatures, dry or wet, it's still gonna be dangerous.
Not trying to argue here, but the fact those were both last year should be enough of an indication to our political "leaders" that climate change is a major threat.

When I'm reading through dates, January gives me a hell of a lot more information than "the fifteenth"
Then use ISO and start with the year, which gives you even more information.
Not necessarily. I work outdoors, the month gives extremely important seasonal context. "A July" tells more than "1985"... although realistically I need both for any conceivable purpose.
Also, to be honest, reading dates is not a difficult process. It takes less than a second regardless of whether it starts with a month, a day, or a year. It's not worth to use that as the basis of discussion. Imo, having the numbers be logically sorted from biggest to smallest unit (or reverse) is worth it just to avoid the confusion.
