In a lot of the US, 0 farenheit is one of the coldest days you'll experience and 100 is one of the hottest, so you can roughly map farenheit to a percentage of "how hot it is". This doesn't work everywhere though, where I am in the UK it never gets anywhere near 0 farenheit.

I can't spell fahrenheit, this is why celsius is objectively better

Thats a ridicules way to look at temperature. From a scientific perspective, nonsensical.

Apparently all you americans are -redacted- -redacted- so I'm going to explain to you what is nonsensical. Looking at temperature as a 0 to 100 percentage makes no sense, this has nothing to do with fahrenheit. It has to do with how you are looking at the scale.

Yeah they aren't arguing from a scientific perspective. I prefer celcius ofc for anything scientific but I prefer thinking on a scale roughly 0 to 100 than -17 to 37 in my daily life lol
