    Metric boiling system can be simplified to boiled or not boiled. Also the difference between 13°C and 16°C is huge in Fahrenheit while it looks like a mere 3 points, it’s actually a difference between cold and comfortable not-so warm.

    Fahrenheit is built for humans, not your kettle

      The freezing poit being 0 is convenient though. I can look at the thernometer, and if there’s a negative sign there’s probably ice outside

          This is really not a problem with Celsius. It’s a result of us being used to Fahrenheit. We could probably switch and not have any issues after a month or so if we really wanted to.
