    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.

          Well all four seasons occur in almost every us state so you do in fact experience most temperatures everywhere you go and especially as aberrant extreme weather increases

                I’ve never experienced winter here in Australia. We only get snow on mountains and our indigenous trees are evergreen. You Americans might think every place has winter, but you’re very wrong. If it went down to 0 F around here, it would make history books. Your scale just doesn’t fit us. We prefer Celcius.

                    And Americans shouldn’t pretend like their archaic temperature scale only they use is still relevant in the 21st century, yet here you are.
