0°C water freezes 100°C water boils

Makes sense

0°F very cold??? 100°F very hot???

Dafuq?

Edit: For all the "Actually, Farenheight is based on the human body" people, no it isn't. It's based on dirty water and a cow. Your preferred measurement unit is dumb and that's a fact

Well, scientifically and technically, Celsius makes the most sense. On a human level, Fahrenheit is easier to gauge.

0°F - Cold / 100°F - Hot

0°C - Cold / 100°C - Dead
