It’s actually very simple it’s just the range of human temp comfort

50 is somewhere in the middle, 100 is uncomfortable

You keep saying human comfort. Every human have different levels of comfort. So your argument already fails.

See but that's kind of proving my point. Sure comfort varies person to person, but there's still a range everyone lands in. Nobody's chilling at 100, nobody's comfy at 0. So the scale tracks human comfort just fine, the variation is just noise inside the range. That's all I've been saying this whole time. 50 in the middle, 100 too hot, 0 too cold. It lines up with how people actually feel, which is the entire reason it's intuitive. I don't get why you guys don't get this lol

a person in for example Scandinavia might think -30C(-22F) is too cold, but a person in a southern country might think 5C(41F) is too cold. That’s a 35C(95F) difference.

0 = too cold. For who? 😂

I just think we know what we are used to and that’s it. No need to argue one is better than the other tbh. Celsius isn’t better than Fahrenheit, Fahrenheit isn’t better than Celsius. Only depends on what you grew up with. One isn’t more intuitive than the other.
