People do live outside of North America. I know that must be news to you, but it is the truth.

But fahrenheit is not a 0-100 scale. You have just arbitrarily picked out 0-100 because that makes your brain more easily understand the non-intuitive system which is fahrenheit.

"cold" and "hot" are completely non-descriptive and useless parameters for your supposed "intuitive" system.

My digital thermometers all uses decimals.

People in countries with much much hotter climates than the US use celsius, because most of the rest of the world uses celsius.

They are referring to the fact that 100 celsius literally boils water.

The thing is that you need to learn celsius if you are doing science, but celsius users don't really need to learn fahrenheit, so this isn't really a problem that comes up for a lot of celsius users.

Because it is in the middle of that "0 is really really cold, 100 is really really hot" "human feeling" fahrenheit scale you guys keep going on about.

It literally was not.

Their friend is a dumbass though.

geographically unique

Geographically perhaps. But the cultural and historical unique is something you are going to miss out on by staying inside your own home country for your entire life. You think your US regional differences are the same as the differences between two countries, but anyone who has experienced different countries will tell you in an instant that that is not so.

It doesn't really though for people who doesn't use fahrenheit.
