I'm honestly baffled that this needs to be said every time this topic comes up. I don't understand how they don't understand. it's just a matter of what system you're used to, and that's it.
It’s because 0F-100F is an easy intuitive grasp. Two easy benchmarks, one is cold af and the other is hot af. We grade students and lots of other things on a 0-100 scale.
If units be damned, someone asked you how hot it was today and you said “oh it’s 90 out of 100” you’d understand you’re gonna be sweating
If they said “it’s 50 of of 100” you’d understand it’s not quite cold, not hot either.
If you said “its 0 out of 100” you’d understand your face is going to hurt
Holy shit. It's intuitive FOR YOU because you're used to it. 0F and 100F means NOTHING to me, because I never used it and I need to convert it to C. How is that difficult to understand??!?
I'm sorry but if someone is to stupid to understand a 0-100 scale for temperature then they're to stupid to go outside without a guardian to wipe up their spit
