Imperial measurements are all in relationship to common real world things
For example:
An inch is a thumb
A foot is a foot
A yard is one stride
A fathom is the height of a person
It was a standardized system before the scientific revolution used base 10 math for everything
Sure it’s a relic but it “made sense” before mass produced rulers and such
I like the human-centric measurement system.
Like Fahrenheit: 0 to 100, 0 being the coldest it gets and 100 being the hottest.
That's interesting, because to me celsius makes more sense. 0 is freezing +10 & -10 are slightly warm and slightly cold. +20 and -20 are warm and cold, and +30 and -30 are very hot and very cold.
I think it had more to do with what you were raised with, rather than either being objectively better in any way.
It does make for a shit post that gets some comments though 😂
It's definitely what you grew up with, because in the end it's arbitrary. Fahrenheit made a statistical scale based on the climate he lived in, and Celsius made one centered on the freezing and boiling points of water.
