Why are Americans so bad at geography 🤦
You do know there’s a world outside of the US and Europe, you know? And guess what, they all use Celsius.
This isn’t a Europe Vs US thing. This is a US Vs the world thing. Don’t be surprised when people want to use the actual standard.

Celsius and Fahrenheit are both European standards. It’s just that Fahrenheit is used by less than 5% of the world’s population, so it’s completely reasonable to expect a post title on an international website like this to use Celsius.

To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is “really fucking cold” and 100 degrees is “really fucking hot.” So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as “yeah that’s way too fucking hot for a phone.”

And Celsius is 0 for freezing water and 100 for boiling water, sounds much more practical to me

All I know about 100 in Fahrenheit is that the Americans always complain when it gets to it.
