    Idk, 0 being the melting point and 100 the boiling point of water just seems to make much more sense to me than whatever the hell the Fahrenheit scale is doing

        The freezing poit being 0 is convenient though. I can look at the thernometer, and if there’s a negative sign there’s probably ice outside

        I don’t see how 55 vs 60 Fahrenheit captures the difference better

      Mostly joking, but Farenheit is % hot outside.

      0°F is 0% hot. Jacket, pants, boots, scarf, etc.

      30°F is 30% hot. Shorts, but with boots & an unzipped jacket.

      60°F is 60% hot. Shorts, short sleeves, & sandals.

      80°F is 80% hot. AC recommended.

      100°F is 100% hot. AC or you’ll melt.

      120°F is Phoenix, Arizona, a city which should not exist and a temperature which should not exist.
