The metric system, f*ck the imperial system. Every scientist sticks to the metric system, and why are people even still having an imperial system, with outdated measurements like stones for weight blows my mind.
Also f*ck Fahrenheit, we have Celsius and Kalvin for that, we don't need another hard to convert temperature measurement.
I'll fight you on fahrenheit. It's very good for weather reporting. 0° being "very cold" and 100° being "very hot" is intuitive.
This is strictly untrue for many climates. Where I live in Canada, 0F is average winter day, 100F is record-breaking "I might actually die" levels of heat.
-30C to 30C is not any more complicated or less intuitive than -22F to 86F
