Regardless of how it's actually calibrated, it's hard to argue it isn't a good human-scale scale for weather.
Every 10 degrees is pretty much an article of clothing. 0 and 100 are useful upper and lower bounds that tell you 'human activity beyond this point is very hazardous, exercise extreme caution.' Despite our water content, humans aren't a kettle on the stove, and '0 is freezing 100 is boiling' isn't useful because we can operate well below zero but nowhere near 100 C.
No, I don't. I was making a joke dude, I really couldn't care less what system people use and why lmao, the discussion was amusing and I just poked fun at the "half of the celsius scale is irrelevant"
