But it makes so much sense though. Because it’s anchored around the freezing and boiling points of water, which is a universal experience we can all relate to. 0°C outside? It’s freezing.

It does make sense. But no, I cannot personally relate to being H2O and freezing into a block of ice or evaporating into the air.

As a human, I can relate to when I feel cold, and when I feel hot. And a scale where I feel hot at 30 degrees and cold at -10 is not even remotely intuitive.

You end up with the same exact problem where your specific range of “human scale temperatures” does not line up with 0-100°F at all.

Human scale temperatures do line up with 0-100 on the Fahrenheit scale. Certainly much better than 0-100 on the Celsius scale. How are you even disputing that???
