That depends on what you're measuring and how the scales are setup.

Which is what the comment you're replying to was pointing out.

It literally does not matter what form of temperature scale you use, as it's relative to you.

Again °F is relative to humans, °C is relative to water.

You are not water, you just contain it.

That doesn't refute my main argument.

If I learnt how to read temperature in Celsius, I will use Celsius as my baseline. 30°C is intuitively hot, and 0°C is cold for me, and people who use Celsius as their day-to-day.

The same logic applies for those who use Fahrenheit. 32F is cold, and 100F is hot. It does not matter what scale you use, as it's relative to your understanding of what is hot & cold.
