      Yeah, pretty much. I figured it was probably implied that I’m in the states. :)

      I mean, SI units are objectively the best, and align with metric in most cases, but my brain is conditioned to accept Fahrenheit and miles per hour natively. Celsius and km/h have to go through an interpreter to convert them.

      I have to say though, km/h has that “0 to 100” thing going for it that Fahrenheit does. 100 isn’t the fastest you’ll go, but it’s a typical highway speed.

        but we could be using meters per second

        Outside of the USA noone knows what idk, 50°F feels like. Probably around room temperature since you say it’s based on how humans feel but I have no idea.

        They’re one of only 3 countries in the world who still use °F, and represent 98% of the population who do so. So it’s basically just America.
