What makes you think humans, an endothermic species, desires exactly 50% thermal energy?
We enjoy the 70F region because we are warm blooded mammals.
“In International Sauna Championships the sauna was heated to 110°C”
Yeah. And 2 people collapsed, 1 died from it.

“Exactly. Because that is required to understand what the numbers mean (in celsius)”
Exactly, because fahrenheit doesn’t require such a random set of arbitrary associations. Congratulations for understanding what I said while trying so hard to miss the point.
Look, you can argue all you want. The fact is that both systems have their applications. I don’t believe you genuinely disagree with this statement. I think you’re just here because you want to sling shit at people that are different than you. Nothing you say will make Celsius better at determining ambient temperature, nothing you say will make fahrenheit better for use in a lab. Get over it.
I dunno, man. You’ve been driving home this idea that Fahrenheit is a scale and therefore great for intuiting ambient temperature, you can’t just turn around and be all ‘Well OBVIOUSLY 50% isn’t the neutral point.’
In any scale where 0 is dangerously low and 10 is dangerously high, 5 would be a happy medium.

That’s simply not how scales work. You’ll figure it out someday.
It’s how useful scales work.
But well done on the Herculean effort you’ve put forth in demonstrating your general ignorance.
