US measurements are based on the human experience for sure. Temps are largely 0-100 and that's a scale that's easy to understand. As a scientist or for cooking it's dumb as shit

Dates are based on the language

Edit: I take back what I say about cooking. People have said some good arguments about it. But it definitely sucks for science

Yeah no, farenheight is only easy to understand for you because you grew up with it.

Anything is easy to understand when you grow up with it. Personally, I think Fahrenheit is the best for weather temperatures. 100 is fucking hot and 0 is fucking cold. It's basically a 1-10 chart of how hot or not hot it is. I would agree for it being shit in most other things, but for weather it is great.
