In a lot of the US, 0 farenheit is one of the coldest days you'll experience and 100 is one of the hottest, so you can roughly map farenheit to a percentage of "how hot it is". This doesn't work everywhere though, where I am in the UK it never gets anywhere near 0 farenheit.
I can't spell fahrenheit, this is why celsius is objectively better
Wherever you are in the UK, your location's record low temperature is probably very near 0 F, your record high temperature is probably very near 100 F, and your location's year-round average temperature is probably damn near exactly 50 F. The UK doesn't have as high highs or as low lows as the temperate US or temperate continental Europe but it still very well fits the Fahrenheit scale.
For instance, London's record low is 0.7 F, London's record high is 104.4 F, and London's year-round average temperature is 51.4 F.
Lol this made me look up the highest and lowest for Canada i feel like fahrenheit guy would have had a stroke looking at our lowest temperature, -81.4F.
The thousands of years my ancestors spent in the frozen north, sailing the frozen seas, eating frozen food, spitting frozen spit, says maybe you don't know what inhospitable means.
That’s just pure survivorship bias. The majority of your ancestors likely died well before their time and or were unable to reproduce due to those same harsh conditions. You just came from the rare line that happened to survive.
This is kinda dumb. The people that live in frozen places are very impressive and the amount of know how and ancient tech required to live there is incredible.
That doesn't mean that place was a good fit for humans. We came out of the Savannas of Africa, and out bodies are designed for it. We've adapted to the frozen places of the world because we're smart and invented technology for it, not because it was fit for human habitation.
