    It is, but if you look at how Farenheit was conceived it’s absurdly nonsensical. 0°F is the freezing temperature or some mixture of chemicals, and 90°F is a guess at human body temperature lmao.

    And the freezing/boiling points of water are arbitrary except in that they are used to actually define both scales. They provide easily measurable standards.
