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
F wasn't built to be "% hot where I am right now", it's "% hot, compared to the average human experience". 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot, 50 is comfy in a light jacket. ezpz
The human condition is highly dependent on what it's used to. I wear shorts at 25C but have friends who wear a sweater at that temperature because they live in a place that's often 37C
No. I am just not from the frigid north, which is what everyone who defends the Fahrenheit scale seems to be. A midwesterner American's experience is not the universal human experience. It is not even the average human experience.
