I like to refer to them as Freedom units and Communist units (in jest, obviously). I will say, though, that Fahrenheit feels like a more precise scale for measuring temperature even if the units are goofy.

So precise that everything is rounded to the nearest 5 or 10 degrees lol.

F is kinda nice for weather as a scale of 1 to 100 of really cold feeling to really hot feeling. But for anything scientific or calibration related, C is great

I don't care how many football fields worth of sun we'll get today.

Fahrenheit is better for weather, and I'll fight anyone about it.

We use Celsius in the lab because it makes math easier, it's great.

But Fahrenheit is basically a 0-100 scale of how hot it is outside and that makes perfect sense for describing outside conditions relative to human sensory perception.
