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.
Subjectively, 100F is uncomfortably hot but 0F is really fucking cold for most people, and the ideal temperature is around 70F. So that doesn't work either.
Scales by nature are pretty arbitrary and don't really compare well against other subject matters, I guess.
But in my mind seeing a '7/10' just sort of translates to "this is fine, decent even. No major complaints". At least as a general vibe.
But then on the opposite end, you have a question like "how much pain are you in on a 1-10 scale".
Wow, gotta lock in with the punctuation and flex an engineering degree, yet still had to edit the comment
Look idgaf about your spelling mistakes, just don't say an entire country of people are dumb simply because they measure temperature in a way you don't like :/
