Whatever your grew up with will always seem more intuitive for most people. But given that I grew up with Fahrenheit, the whole “0 is cold as fuck, 100 is hot as fuck” thing works for me.

Farenheit is asking Americans how hot they feel.

Do Americans feel heat differently or something?

They're one of only 3 countries in the world who still use °F, and represent 98% of the population who do so. So it's basically just America.

So because right now only Americans use fahrenheit, it must be bad? Holy logical fallacy batman
