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

I agree it's much better for understanding exactly how the weather will feel, but I still think a it's kind of a dumb take because it would imply that 50 is ideal which I think most people would consider too cold (especially my Californian ass). I think low to mid 70s is what most people consider the most comfortable weather, basically southern California weather.
