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
When I’m talking about weather, I don’t necessarily care about the freezing point of water though, I care about the temperatures at which I feel uncomfortable or are in potential danger.
At the end of the day though, I think it really just comes down to what you grew up with using. I’m comfortable with Fahrenheit because that’s what I grew up with, people who grew up using Celsius are comfortable with that, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It just means there might be a translation step when talking to people of different backgrounds, which is okay.
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?

20 is the end of cool. Any more than that is in hot range for me.

You mean potential danger like ice forming on the streets? Well, too bad we don’t have an easy to remember number for that… /s
Yeah, for me it’s 32, been that way since I was a kid lmao

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

Why do people “feel” 80, though

Oh, I know what you mean. I’m sick to death of this debate, haha.
I do think the things people say are funny, though.
80F is 26.66667C
