Maybe after society has collapsed and been rebuilt we'll end up with km and cm having a weird ratio to the meter. Same for kg. At least celsius is just about impossible to screw up.

Celsius is already screwed up because it's not zero-based.

Celcius is eminently practical (similar to power of two prefixes). Absolute zero is completely irrelevant for day to day human life.

Fahrenheit is even more practical for daily life, as it was designed to be.

		How so? 0 = freezing water, 100 = boiling water is at least more useful than more or less arbitrary points of F.

Celsius is just as arbitrary as farenheit so I wouldn't be so sure.
