        It can’t really get much beyond 110 outside and if it does i don’t think you’d notice the difference much

          There have been records of the weather being 56°C (134°F) outside.

          Why would being able to notice the difference matter?

        That’s why Fahrenheit is good for outdoor temps only humans care about and Celsius is good for everything else

          You mean it’s good for outdoor temps only Americans care about. Here in the rest of the world, we have very different weather to you people, so we need a wider scale.

            America has some of the lowest and highest temps in the world so I’m not sure how that means anything

              I know, but the Americans are the only ones in this thread acting like every person and place in their country shares a single range of weather temperatures, so I pretended to cede that point. It makes for a good rhetorical technique.
