Canada is equally bad. My favorite is air temperature is Celsius but water temperature is Fahrenheit.

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That makes no sense. It would (only a little) if it was the other way around, since 0C and 100C are based on water, and F is "easier" to relate in how one feels hot or cold (I know that's totally subjective).

Don't ask me, man. I like inches but Fahrenheit is dumb IMO. Come to Canada and ask someone how cold the water is.

That's their problem. Nobody is forcing you to use dumb units and complain about it
