    So your examples was about countries that use imperial/mixed system already and not really about metric countries?

    The idea that someone in Finland would switch to Fahrenheit for cooking is just bizarre. Why would anyone do that lol

      The UK and Ireland don’t either. I dunno where they got that from. Our ovens and everything very obviously use Celsius.

      Canada is a metric country. Don’t be a dolt. Fahrenheit is more precise, smaller degrees.

        Canada and the UK have switched from the imperial system to the metric system relatively recently, and as such it is understandable that the imperial system is still entrenched in some areas (such as possibly cooking).

        Most metric countries have been metric for centuries and use metric for basically everything, and certainly don’t randomly use Fahrenheit of all things.

        If your idea about Metric countries is Canada or the UK, then you don’t really have an idea.

        I’m starting to feel you don’t really know what you’re talkint about, sorry to say

        While Canada has converted to the metric system for many purposes, there is still significant use of non-metric units and standards in many sectors of the Canadian economy and everyday life today. This is mainly due to historical ties with the United Kingdom, the traditional use of the imperial system of measurement in Canada, proximity to the United States, and strong public opposition to metrication during the transition period.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Canada

        Fahrenheit is more precise, smaller degrees.

        Lmao. Someone needs to learn about decimals. Absolutely nobody here uses Fahrenheit for cooking. You are being silly

              Yeah. it’s almost like I told you, the country officially switched. I also told you tradesmen and cooks switch back to imperial automatically. you’re presenting this like it isn’t exactly what i said to you. I was in the trades for years, all the foreigners that do the carpentry work in Vancouver do the exact same thing, Somali, French, Irish, Aussie, NZ, Mexican, Argentinian

                You are talking about a country that switched recently and is still mixed because of that. It’s obviously different to countries that have been metric for a lot longer. Nobody here is using fahrenheit for cooking, that’d be bizarre.

                Out of curiosity, what is the benefit, in your mine, for someone in my country to use fahrenheit for cooking? It makes zero sense to me, unless it’s somethint you’re used to.

                No shit people use the country’s measurements. Do you think tradesmen in Finland use whatever imperial system uses? Of course they use metric since that’s the done thing and everything is in metric

                  I wouldn’t be surprised, everywhere else does. I really doubt you’re a carpenter, inches and feet simply work better in that trade.

                    Lmao you have no clue of the world outside of Canada and the US.

                    Which is alright in itself, but you are so confidently incorrect that it pains me.
