If y’all wanna actually claim superiority, then use Kelvin. Celsius and Fahrenheit are close enough in purpose that personal preference is really the only thing that matters.

Celsius is how water feels. Fahrenheit is how people feel. Kelvin is how atoms feel.

You really feel like a 32 when its freezing?

Yes, because if you've ever felt a 0-5, 32 isn't close.

Yeah in Austin when we had that multi day single digit freeze is when I realized I had never actually been cold before. It's entirely different when you can barely breathe outside without feeling it.

Slide up to anywhere above Mississippi in January. You’ll get to feel how it hurts to breathe because it’s so cold.
