I'm aware that 0 degrees celsius is the point where water freezes. If it's not 0 degrees I'm lost.

I can translate Fahrenheit for you

-10 Canadians admit they are cold
0 Mahrlect cold
10 very cold
32 degrees, freezing point of water
40 chilly
50 brisk
60 comfortable for men
70 comfortable for women
80 hot
90 very hot
100 mahrlect hot
110 Australians admit they are hot.

0 degrees water freezes, 100 degrees water boils. Our system actually makes sense!

That's handy in a science lab. Fahrenheit seems better for gauging human comfort. I know what a ten degree Fahrenheit temperature change feels like. Not extreme, but noticeable. I have been through every temperature between -20 and 115 Fahrenheit. Most of the temperatures between -20 and 115 Celsius will kill human beings.

We have degrees Kelvin for that! Where zero... is actually zero!

That's only because that is what you have used up until now. I know what 20 °C feels like (room temperature), same with 10°C, or 30°C, or -5°C, etc. If you had used Celsius your whole life, you would intuitively know what it feels like too.

I've experienced -40°C (with windchill) all the way up to close to 40°C. That is 81 whole numbers (including zero) worth of gradation . I've never felt that I needed finer gradation than that. However, if you did, just add a decimal place.


At the end of the day, there is a reason why most of the world uses Celsius.


Metric system >>> Imperial system :cool:

I grew up with a different system. I taught myself to intuitively understand what a centimeter, meter, kilogram, and a liter (it helps that a liter and a quart are near identical) is and what not but I just cannot wrap my head around Celsius without converting it to Fahrenheit.

I have a blind spot for Celsius, it's Celsius' fault. Or maybe it's Dr. Fahrenheit. He set 100 Fahrenheit arbitrarily as the temperature inside his assistants mouth, but he must have been sick that day. The normal human body temperature is 98.6.
