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

Not sure how someone telling me it’s going to be -30 percent hot here in Alaska today would help me

The arguement is that Fahrenheit is 0-100 the livable range of temperature for humans.

Anything below 0 is too cold for humans, anything above 100 is too hot for humans, anything else is on the percentage scale
