@Zerush Too much hassle to change to metric

There are (huge) costs to retooling production to move from imperial to metric. Even if a company wanted to make that move they'd have to transition in phases and will likely end up with additional equipment to maintain. There's also significant training for workers (who will likely commit errors in the beginning) which will impact production. And what happens to the old equipment? I'd guess a significant portion of that would end up getting scrapped and landfilled.

I’m terrified of driving the day they move the US from miles to kilometers. People go well over the speed limit as it is. I can only imagine how many people would read the kilometer per hour speed limit as miles.

Perhaps I'm biased, but sometimes it's easier to work in fractions. Also, setting room temp is objectively better in F. I can tell the difference between 74 and 75. That said, I'm also a scientist so I'm permitted these opinions.

I really like Farenheit system for temperatures. 0 is really cold and 100 is really hot, but both survivable. It's a human-centric system.

0C is the temperature that water freezes, which is good but temperatures more often go negative with that system. 100C is boiling so you'd be dead.
