The Great American Temperature Conspiracy

The metric system's elegant water-freezing-at-0°C and boiling-at-100°C scale makes perfect scientific sense, but somehow Americans are over here defending Fahrenheit like it's a constitutional amendment! Meanwhile, the rest of the world watches in confusion as the US clings to a system where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F—because clearly, arbitrary numbers based on brine solutions from the 1700s are more "intuitive" than powers of 10. It's like watching someone insist that counting by 12s is easier than counting by 10s while they're desperately trying to convert inches to feet to yards with a wild conspiracy board behind them.
