I don't see how Fahrenheit is any more arbitrary than Celsius. *runs*

Scientifically, this is true. We really should be using the Kelvin scale. Looks like about 310 K tomorrow?

Kelvin scale belongs to the International.system of units as "m" and "kg"...but for some strange reason it's not as widely used!

Fahrenheit is just ugly :p

I'm not sure, maybe we use Celsius because temperatures at which Water changes its state are easier to remember (0 and 100)

celsius is awesome

and people stop fuccin driving on the wrong side(left)

Countries which drive on the left have fewer road accidents as most people are right handed and have better spacial awareness on the right-hand side of their body.

It is arbitrary, but much more logical (freezing and boiling of water as points of reference). Moreover, the unit has the same size as Kelvin. A 1 °C change = a change with 1 K

Personally I think anyone sticking to the imperial system is *** annoying and should be banned from all conversations in which they'd try to use that *** up system. Because *** logic, that's why

When I checked yesterday evening, the forecast for today was a little rain for the last riders, however now it says it'll be dry for everyone. Tomorrow however, it seems it will rain.

Turned out it was hot, but not as hot as predicted. No signs of rain at all, as expected. The wind got harder during the day, not sure how much effect it had. It was very noticeable for sure.
