The temperature measurement is true though. F describes the temperature scale that humans interact with much better than C does.
Only because you grew up with it.
I have only had the temperature described to me in celcius so Fahrenhite makes no sense to me.
What doesn't make sense to you. You can think of F as a percentage of how hot it is. 0 is 0% hot, meaning cold as fuck. 100 is 100% hot, hot as fuck. Things in the middle are are in the middle. 85 is 85% hot.
Lol can't tell, is this 85% stupid or closer to 100?
Are percentages too hard for you?
Not nearly as hard as you are working to represent F in chat about personal preference
I WILL die on this hill. But preference is just what you do with the information, not the usefulness of the scale. 0-100 is the scale. Whether you wear jackets at 50-60 or 60-70 doesn't mean that the scale isn't objectively better.
