A series of decisions were made at Mini which resulted in what is unambiguously the worst indicator design of all time. It is so bad that after seeing it on the street, I just had to post about it here.
I’m 100% on board with the us moving to metric, and in almost all cases I think it’s far easier to use.
But fahrenheit is more intuitive: 100 too hot to work outside, 0 too cold to work outside. It’s just garbage for scientific use. I couldn’t care less if we switched to Celsius, but it’s problem is certainly not intuitiveness.
I would say intuitiveness is more for all of the other measurements. Like 5280 feet in a mile? WTF is that BS.
Fahrenheit isn’t too bad IMO. It’s more granular so it’s usually sufficient to use whole numbers for everything. 0F to 100F is a temperature range a person might be subjected to in day-to-day life, with 0F being pretty cold and 100F being pretty hot.
I never undertand the more granular, the scale is in 180 because that’s the most precision they could use to manufacture scientific thermometers, nowadays it’s completely irrelevant. Celsius thermometers have a granularity of 0.1°C and that is useful soley when you want to differentiate between “almost a slight fever” and “maybe a slight fever”. Do you find yourself needing to differentiate between 45 °F and 46 °F?
I expect you also think Fahrenheit is more intuitive
Harsh words. After all, Rankine is best.

no I go og celcious, boiling water at -100
