    100 F is roughly a human's body temp. (Actually 98.7 avg, but close anyway)

    0 F is goddam cold. (This one's pretty arbitrary ngl)

    That probably isn't very helpful.

    Fwiw, Celsius isn't much better if you didn't grow up with it. 0 C is pretty cold, 100 C can give you severe scalds. The actual range the people will encounter in weather in their day-to-day lives is all over the place regardless.

    Perhaps we are destined to stay divided

      I'm UK based and ~0°c to ~30°c (32-86f) covers 90% of the year for celcius. It's still pretty unhelpful but I don't think that feels any harder than using Farenheit in day to day use, I agree that it's largely all arbitrary, but that's as good of a reason to just use that one that's scientifically useful too.
