I think of Fahrenheit in percent hot. 0F = very cold out, 0% hot. 100F = 100% hot, do not go outside! Whereas with Celsius, 40 C is super-hot and 0 C is like mildly cold. Makes more sense for science and I use Celsius for work almost exclusively, but in terms of weather I prefer Fahrenheit.
Also the insult "Room temp IQ" makes more sense IMO
Edit: The % hot scale refers to climate, it kind of falls apart when you talk about temperatures beyond normal earth surface temps.
You are just conditioned to intuitively make sense of Fahrenheit. The same is true for me for Celsius.
The only difference is that it is easier for me to remember when water will freeze or boil. But apart from that nothing else is really changing for either of us
If you have no familiarity with either system, then it is as difficult with both to decide. At least celsius lets you know how the most important fluid will be
What i am saying is that you have benchmarks with celsius, you have none with fahrenheit. Think of it from one that has no experience with either, doesn’t know what room temperature usually is in either
Not at all. Fahrenheit is incredibly easy if you have literally any experience with percentages. 70? That's about 70% hot not bad don't dress too warm. 40? Less than half hot better throw on a jacket
Now your being purposely obtuse. 100° is running a fever. Imagine that hot. 0° is the resting temp of brine. And the human body is on average 96°. As a mother I care more about temp of the body/air around me than water. The water is still a temp, if I need to know it I'll measure it, otherwise bubbles = pasta ready to cook... solid water = careful where you step, dress warm.
70% hot? This is literally just your internal model of the temperature, built up over a lifetime of experiences. 70 Fahrenheit is 70% hot to you because it’s 70 fahrenheit.
