Metric. 10’s are easy math.

20
Also... Celsius. 0° = freezing water 100° = boiling water 20° = room temperature Such nice, easy numbers to remember.

I'm all for metric for everything except temperature. That 0-100 only works for water. Fahrenheit does better at expressing temperature ranges that humans live in. e.g. "50s" (sweaters), "70s" (comfortable), "90s" (too hot).

I dunno though. 0 = jacket 10 = sweater 20 = room temp 30 = hot day Those are pretty straight forward.

Maybe I'm more sensitive to smaller temperature changes, cause for me the difference between 70°F and 80°F is huge, and that's just 21°C-26°C

I think this is just familiarity. Everything you say here is exactly how I feel about Celsius. Also, if it’s as intuitive as you imply it should immediately catch on—I know no one who has to switch that finds it so intuitive.

Nah I didn't say intuitive, I said expressive. It'd take more than 280 characters to explain what I mean. I don't think either is ideal though.
