I like metric for weight, that's about it. Cooking with metric is a lot easier. Celsius is nonsense. There's very little real life use of having the boiling point being an anchor. Fahrenheit is anchored on real life daily measurements.
Fahrenheit is anchored on real life daily measurements.
Intentionally or not, you've just touched on why Imperial measurements survived 2000 years of empires. Because every single one was designed to be as relative to an individual person as possible, with no measuring tools required. You could trade with anyone civilized and they will understand exactly how much you required or were talking about
A mile was 1000 steps. 100 Fahrenheit is the point temperature becomes an active danger to human life as it's above our body temp. Retards like to mock the "foot" as though measuring things in body parts is backwards except that's literally where it came from; an average foot size. This was divided into twelfths because a twelfth offers the greatest amount of precise divisions without requiring tools (whole, half, third, quarter, sixth and eighth). You can't get a third of a meter without precisely measuring it.
The temperature is really the only metric part I don’t understand. Why would someone insist on using it over the clearly superior Fahrenheit? Nothing more than a middle finger to America I suppose.
It works better in purely scientific mediums, but Kelvin works even better than that in purely scientific mediums, so it's got some weird middle-kid energy.
Celsius is such a shit scale for outside temperatures. Just use Fahrenheit for weather and Celsius for chemistry.
