    I agree when it comes to weather as well. 100 is too hot to be outside and 0 is way too cold to be outside. You don’t have to have decimal places on thermostats

      0C for freezing is better than 32F though. Then you can count by 5s and 10s in celcius for weather till you hit 30. Above that is hot. Having a range of 30 points on the thermometer for weather is easier to gauge than something that goes across almost double the number of points.

      Fahrenheit measures how people feel, Celsius measures how water feels.
      Kelvin measures how atoms feel.

        No, it’s not. I’m people and I don’t feel like Fahrenheit. Lower than 10°C is cold, lower than 0°C is freezing (quite literally) and warmer than 30°C is too hot. See? Easy to remember numbers. Almost as if people feel numbers they’re used to.

          Because they are accustomed to Fahrenheit. I have no idea how hot/cold 80F is, apart from knowing it’s colder than human body temperature, and hotter than inside temperature, but that’s just from knowing those numbers in Fahrenheit, via the internet. I have no relation to them, it’s like a foreign currency, know what I mean?
