Brilliant response.

That's a poor argument, though, when the justification for utilizing volume, mass, and distance is because it is very "base 10"-y and is easily divisible and understood.

Celsius absolutely is shit for that.

I could use your logic to justify why imperial units are better for length, for example, but we all know it's a bit fucked. Celsius is absolutely fucked for temperature regarding human comfort and is imprecise.

Honestly, temperature (in terms of weather preparedness, not cooking) makes WAY more sense with Fahrenheit. Largely the only temperatures you care about are 0 to 100 and generally you feel a good difference in temp every 10 degrees F.

Almost everything else I prefer metric. But that's one where Celsius is just terrible.
