Worst part about moving to the US has been not being able to fit my US letter documents into a A4 document folder. Sorry Americans, like Fahrenheit, you've got it wrong. A4 is the superior paper size.

Fahrenheit is an objectively better scale for humans. Fight me.

How is that a better scale? 0 is the freezing point of water, 100 is the boiling point. Seems better to me than, "0 is the temperature of ice, water and ammonium chloride".

When doing science where physical constants are always relevant, Celsius is FAR superior. For every day life, Fahrenheit wins.

Again, why is it superior for every day life?

James touched on it, but essentially it maps temperatures we encounter most often over a more useful numeric range.

How often do you encounter 0 Fahrenheit? Growing up, in the winter it gets below 0C and you know there’s going to be ice outside. In the summer it gets to ~50F.

No idea. Growing up in Australia we never had a thermostat.
