Except when water doesnt boil or freeze at 0/100; Based off altitude or salinity and some other things. You dont need a whole temperature scale based off those 2 factors. Water will boil when it bubbles on the stove, and will freeze when it turns solid in the freezer. Kelvin is better for scientific numbering. Fahrenheit is better for daily life.
I will admit, distance and volume measuring is better metric. I’m so sick of having to play the math game of teaspoons to tablespoons to cups etc. Distance is easier too once you use it for a while. I bet you could ask a ton of people how far a mile is, and many wouldnt be able to give you distance in feet…

Celsius definitely makes sense for gauging how you’ll feel at different temperatures if you’re water. Fahrenheit works better for human beings though.

What? No way dude. 0 and below is freezing temperatures. Negative = cold. 0-10 requires light coat and maybe a beanie. 10-20 is sweater weather. 20-30 is t shirt weather. 30-40 is hot as fuck weather.

Or a simple scale from 0 - 100. 0 being extremely cold and 100 being extremely hot (from the perspective of a human being)
I live in a Celsius country and for the thermostat, we have to deal with decimals to find tune the room temp. Flipped the thermostat to Fahrenheit and it instantly made more sense.

Agree to disagree. 19.5 degrees inside is perfect.

But you’re still using too-large chunks. Being comfortable requires finer tuning than C degrees, and I don’t like having to use a bunch of decimals or fractions either.
