Why the United States refuses to go metric

That’s because you don’t know me. I can definitely tell the difference between when my thermostat is set to 75F and 76F. I can set the thermostat with greater precision than I could using Celsius. And for a range of 0-30C vs 0-100F, well, the granularity is more than 3X. To say that’s not significant is simply absurd. Fahrenheit is simply a better scale for reporting environmental temperatures.

Fahrenheit is based on a human scale, while Celsius is based on a the freezing and boiling point of water - if it ever rains boiling water, then I’d concede your point. Until then, no.
