          Left is in common sense units, right is in intelligence units. There is no “freedom” (to be ignorant) units though no.

          Also sorry for the burn but it is a deserving burn at least.

            I’m curious about what, exactly, you think makes using a scientific measurement ignorance just because it’s not as culturally efficient.

            Intransigence, maybe.

            There’s nothing common sense about basing your system on the freezing and boiling point of pure water at sea level under specific barometric conditions. At least Fahrenheit was based on the chemical concoction he used to calibrate his thermometers, produced a reliable temperature point regardless of elevation. Water boils at 96 degrees where I reside.

                Odd that people who count on their fucking fingers always think that.
