How? it is just numbers, there is no human relation. i grew up learning both measures. i know that 20C is comfortable the same at 68F is comfortable. If anything C makes more sense, at 0 things are going to want to freeze on my body. For F that is 32…an arbitrary value
The ice brine was actual a unique solution the guy establish to freeze at zero, not saltwater like I was originally taught, so it was completely arbitrary 0.
And the body temp for normal people is 97.5 to 98. It feela like the dude wanted a 0-100 scale and tweaked the whole thing to suit his desire.
I generally agree that metric is better, but there’s an argument for Fahrenheit.
It was based on human body temperature, so its easier to inuit if a temperature “feels hot”

IIRC the original reference temperatures for Farenheit were ice brine (0°) and human body temperature (100°).
Nowadays it’s formally defined in relation to Kelvin.

Can’t that be done with the Celsius scale as well? If you think about it…
Sure there’s an argument, but it’s a terrible one and you should feel bad for even making it
