Honestly, best advertisement for the imperial system.
With metric you hit 38°C and it’s like “damn, now I feel like shit”, but with Fahrenheit it’s like “Wahoo baby! I did it, I 100 percented the thermometer 🥳🎉🎉🍾 (I still feel like shit)”
Oh, it gets MORE fun above 100. I had mono as a teenager and was lying in bed hallucinating soldiers asking me for directions and calling me Sarge. I think I was at 104.1 at that point.
40 is bad, 42 is when shit starts to happen and 44 is when permanent brain damage starts. I don’t know the equivalent freedom units for these, but it’s something burned in my memory after caring for someone sick. I guess it’s the same for other people: whatever unit you were using when you were responsible for a life is what sticks.
