As someone who has used both and grew up with both I find f to be more suitable for human temps.
There are functional differences, your avg household machines needing set points for a thermostat are WAY fucking nicer to use F with then C. Machines frequently give way too much damn leeway when you use C resulting in inconsistent temp control. It’s god damn annoying.
Otherwise both systems objectively fucking suck at accurately describing the weather outside.
You raise a good point. My thermostat does not support decimal units. So if I turn on the heater to 24C on a cold winter, the temperature range of my heater actually works likes: turn on at 22C, turn off at 26C. Translated, that’s a swing from 72F to 79F. Really annoying.
Obviously they could just make the heater not shit, but I feel like it’s harder to fuck up Fahrenheit whole numbers.
