    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

      0 in F also means something very specific. Celsius isn’t any better at that. If you want something that actually means 0 at 0 then use Kelvin. If you aren’t, both have an equal basis in reality.

      The scale of values is just better for human experience in F. It has more integer values in the range of values humans experience.

        What specific thing does it mean that would relate to your real, daily life?

        The scale of values is just better for human experience in F. It has more integer values in the range of values humans experience.

        Huh? What does that even mean and why it has to specifically be integer values??

        Why are you insisting on integers? Why are you scared of decimals? They are perfectly easy to use and provides a much wider range of scale than your arbitrary 0-100 scale does.
