It would be an easy switch for me outside of speed and temperature.
I think farenheight makes the most sense when it comes to describing a comfortable temperature. Baking , computers, and what-not, celsius makes more sense.
Speed, well, that’d take me a long time to get used to.
Measuring for home projects and the like wouldn’t be difficult as I had already made that switch at my last job.
I’ll see headlines like “Record breaking weather over 104 degrees “ and think holy shit people must be dying, and it’s just like only bloody 40 degrees.
I just think of it like this. 0 is fucking cold, 100 is fucking hot. It’s the easiest for me to describe comfort levels according to temperature.
72 is room temperature, so anything above, it’s time to start taking clothes off. Anything below it’s time to start putting more on.
32 is around about where water freezes so if it gets close to that, time to make sure pipes are wrapped and plants are inside. Only really have to worry about that one time a year though.
I only have to worry about the change once a year as far as major things go. Which is what I was alluding to.
Comfort levels? I usually wear a hoodie with 1-2 layers down to 32, then my coat for everything below that with layers added the colder it gets.
I live in Michigan so the transition seasons are a crap-shoot on what you’ll need to wear that day anyways so I have to keep clothes in my car either way temperature is measured.
“Making sense” is probably a habit, but all the units in Si are made so they are easy to convert to and from. Temperature included. So there’s practicality tied to it. Just like 1l of water is also 1kg of water, which is also 1000cm³ of water. Same thing goes with temperature where Celsius is tied to transition states of the water, 0° for freezing, 100°C for boiling/gas. But it’s not as tightly related as other units and even more rarely used for conversion. For us in the Si world it makes sense because everything is in scales of 100 or 1000, with definite start and end.

Eh American temperatures just sound confusing.

One time… Like late November to early March.
