   @nickfarr What’s the Trumplandia explanation of Celsius?

     @nickfarr I've heard that explanation about why Fahrenheit is so much more useful than Celsius. And I get the intention, but it still only makes sense when you grew up using Fahrenheit.

     My intuitive interpretations of Fahrenheits (mostly when listening to Red Sox games on WEEI):

     90s: you better stay inside. it's HOT!
     80s: yes, that's nice!
     50s: brrr. cool.
     30s: wait!? that's really cold, is it?

     <0F: negative degrees don't make any sense in Fahrenheit
     >100F: water is boiling.
