0F - 100F is about the range of most of Earth’s weather, if Earth’s weather is outside that range, such as at the poles or Death Valley, being in the environment itself is an emergency.
There are very few places that experience -17C and 40C for that to be really useful. And I don’t get it at all. 0 is cold, 30 is hot. Not a difficult concept.
Farenheit is set up such that temperatures between 0 and 100 convey the subjective feel. 0F is really cold, 100F is really hot. Obviously cold and hot feel is subjective, but what could be more human than subjectivity?
One quibble - it fully ignores humidity, as does C. The subjective feel of a climate doesn’t depend only on temperature. 50% humidity at 10C is very different from 50% at 40C.
That is a weird argument. TBH there are only like six ACTUAL temperatures: fucking hot, hot, warm, cool, cold, fuckin’ cold. Everything else is paperwork and doesn’t really inform your day to day. The difference between say 30 and 29C is maybe undoing a button on your shirt.
How? Fahrenheit scale is totally incomprehensible. Celsius at least is using a rational point for 0 (=where water freezes) and same scale as Kelvin.

Not if you grew up with it

Intuition is entirely based on familiarity.

The subjective feel? The fuck lmao
Fahrenheit has nearly double the resolution of Celsius.

The arguments for Fahrenheit get stranger and stranger. First vibe designing measurement systems and now it’s got more resolution
Kelvin decribes physics
Fahrenheit describes typical human environments
Celsius describes water
