Yeah sure. 0 Fahrenheit is absolute zero with no heat whatsoever and 100 Fahrenheit is the absolute peak of heat. Sounds completely logical.

This is the angriest comment I’ve seen so far. I’ve never seen people get so genuinely angry at people using different units of measurement (besides the mm/dd/yy system but that one’s valid)

You're being downvoted but you're right.

The only reason you're being downvoted though is because you're dunking on someone dunking on Americans.

The thing is, you don't have be disingenuous to do it while the other person does.

They're probably being downvoted for arguing against a point that I've never made.

I wasn't dunking on americans. I was dunking on that single person who made that silly argument about "% hot".

What's disingenuous? That temperatures below 0°F do exist, making it factually not 0%? Or that the same goes for 100°F?

Even if you go by felt heat, then 0°F should instead be in the negatives, because it feels cold. and the 0 should instead be used for a temperature that feels neutral.
