For gods sake america, stop using stupid methods of measuring things. Even your paper sizes are retarded.

America really makes any type of scientific conversion calculation a bitch and a motherfucker.

Also, why not the absolute scale of Kelvin? Why degrees yo?

Fuck you commie, this is 'Murica!

Seriously though, I agree that we should abandon all of our measurements, but not our temperature scale. Not because of science, but simply because it is better in tune with what we can quantify. 0 degrees is really fucking cold and 100 degrees is really fucking hot. I know it's not a GOOD measure but it makes temperature more relatable to what humans FEEL.

Bad reasoning I know, but I like it.

Surely water freezing and boiling qualify as really fucking cold and really fucking hot?
