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.
If you take issue with defining units based on vibes i have terrible news about the second, the meter, and the kilogram. Basically any unit is arbitrary until it becomes a standard
The thing that makes any unit useful is being an agreed upon standard, which is true of both F and C. the “feel right” part is just how it got there. When Celsius stuck a thermometer in freezing water and marked its position, he called that 100 degrees based on vibes. Later on, a french academic decided that actually freezing should be 0 and boiling should be 100, and that decision was based on vibes. Why is it any different when Farenheit made a vibes based decision to put 0 in a different spot than celsius?
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.

And celsius fully ignores the effect pressure has on the boiling/melting point of water. Turns out temperature units only measure temperature
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

This system was literally defended as “feeling right” versus SI

I don’t know if you’re making a joke but this is about someone claiming Fahrenheit is better because “zero feels pretty cold and 100 pretty hot” lol

The subjective feel? The fuck lmao
