Fahrenheit is such a nice system. 0 is really, really cold and 100 is really really hot. So 50 must just be perfect, right?
Way more intuitive then Celsius.
It is intuitive because you are used to it.
Also isn’t 101 also really really hot? Or what about 99? And how about 1, isn’t that also really really cold? It is an arbitrary frame of reference you have set up in an attempt to make a non-intuitive system more easily accesible.
I’m not understanding your counterpoint… it’s a scale no matter which system you use?

Celsius isn’t all that different.
-30 is really really cold, 30 is really really hot.
0 is just about perfect.

More like 0 is really cold and 40 is really hot, so 20 must be perfect, which it is.

Eh I can barely breathe at 30. 40 is certain death. Except in a sauna, where 100 is no problem and we throw water on the rocks to make it feel hotter.
I know, it’s weird.
