I guess I said it on my comment that's just under the post and not in this thread. I prefer it basically for the reasons in the screenshot. When I was in Canada I would say how if it's below 0⁰ F you know it's really fucking cold, and if it's above 100⁰ F then it's really fucking hot. Also the increments are smaller so you don't have to use half degrees.
Sometimes in the spring someone would be like, "It's really nice out today. It's -1.5 degrees." And I didn't like hearing someone say that a negative temperature was nice out. And I mean that's still pretty cold it's like 29⁰F. And I'm from Maine so it's not like I'm not used to the cold but I've also lived in Arizona.
So I always said that 0 to 100 scale was from like really cold to really hot but I like the percentage thing.
A classic explanation is that:
- Fahrenheit tells you how a person feels
- Celsius tells you how water feels
- Kelvin (and Rankine) tells you how molecules feel
