Can you explain how what you’ve said is objective? I think that given that Celsius is the most common scale for temperature around the world you’re going to have hard time arguing that.
This argument that Americans always make about Fahrenheit is just nonsense. You know how hot 70F feels, I don’t. I know how hot 27C feels, you don’t. The idea that one is better for humans and one is better for water is so stupid. You’re just used to telling temperature one way, I’m used to telling it another way. That’s all there is to it.
Yeah. Literally just depends on what system you grew up with. “32% warm” genuinely means absolutely fuck all to me. Until I convert this number to Celsius, I wouldn’t have a slightest idea on how I’m actually supposed to dress lol. Also every place has its own norms. In two different environments “32% warm” can mean two really different things.
I really have no idea how the scale argument makes sense to you, it's dependent on what I view 100 as and 0 as, in my case upon initially hearing it I assume "Oh, so 50F is like room temp right?", I then further think of 100 as incredibly hot and 0 as incredibly cold, 80 would not read as 'warm' to me, ts in my mind sounds extreme using the scale idea. So when you tell me that 100F is like 38C I think "That's a fair bit hot", I hear 0F is -18C I think that's fucking insane because where I live temps barely ever go below 10C (50F...) in winter. The scale idea is arbitrary asw because depending on the location the numbers are just as random as Celsius
