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.
