That's pretty damn subjective lol. At least the zero point (something important to people living in countries where it falls down to that) gives off useful info.
All numbers are arbitrary until you relate them to reality. This whole debate is fucking stupid vibe checks on how people feel about meaningless numbers, because the temperature is the temperature whether it's -40 or 233, or 420.
I mean the zero point of Celsius isn't a vibe in the same way as "pretty cold, pretty hot" or however people describe Fahrenheit. It actually means something to real life that it gets to zero or goes negative. 100C is for most people much less useful tbf.
But mainly it's about what you're used ofc. I just hate the nonsense thing about Fahrenheit being better that is about vibes alone
Fahrenheit does have a relation to reality: Where salt water freezes.
The fact you dumbasses don't even know the basics of the system you criticize says a lot... Fucking team sports morons. Now re-read what I said before you eat your foot again.
The argument isn't made that Fahrenheit is great because it goes from salt water freezing being 0 to something else. The argument was the vibe that 0 cold 100 hot
And what are 0 and 100 in Celsius but arbitrarily tied to H2O? Salt water and human biology are also physical phenomenon, if slightly more arbitrary. A species based on any other such liquid chemistry (like methane for Titan, etc) would equally be confused on the arbitrary choice of H2O.
I think you are a bit confused. Above people were saying how great Fahrenheit is for 0-100 being "cold for humans and hot for humans". That's the vibe argument.
