Especially for real world applications, for example you could use it to measure the overal heat in the enviorement.

Temp in my town 90, the fuck does that even mean lol?

I could measure this sht in Kelvin and it would not be anymore or less intutive than this lol.

Celsius is MUCH more intuitive. 0 is freezing, 100 is boiling. Fahrenheit just makes more sense because you were raised on it.

I was not raised on it so it makes absolutely no fuckign sense, same for inches, feet, yards and all such BS :P

I think it's intuitive. 0 = pretty fucking cold 100 = pretty fucking hot

As much better of a measurement system it is, Celsius is definitely less intuitive. 0 = cold but totally livable, 100 = fucking dead?

Fahrenheit has a good scale but that's all it has going for it

The one thing I like about Farenheit is that it's a bigger scale. Sure Celsius is great for scientific purposes, because of the freezing and boiling points, but not so much for a thermostat. 1 degrees change in Celsius is greater than Farenheit, so you can change it a few degrees without it being such a drastic change.

the temperature for boiling water is not relevant in any way.

1. Water does not get hotter than 100 celsius
2. nobody fucking has a thermometer in their pot all "glad this water is exactly 100 degrees boiling"

For measuring temperature of outside, Fahrenheit is so much better. Like someone else said, 0 is fucking cold, 100 is fucking hot.

A scale of water boiling to water freezing makes no sense to me if I'm deciding what to wear when I leave the house. It's 30 degrees C out, 30 is close to the freezing point of water, so better get my coat. Nope, way too hot for that.

It's 0 to 120 tho, so 100 is like, 20 less than immensely hot, how much hot tho, super hot, but not ultra mega hot? ionno, fuckign Farenheit :v

As much better of a measurement system it is, Celsius is definitely less intuitive. 0 = cold but totally livable, 100 = fucking dead?

Its the meme about freeze and boiling point, nothing to do with ambient temepratures and what species can live or not in it, but we certainly can use a simple scale to intutively measure the comfortability of an envirement using C.

Fahrenheit
0: damn cold
100: damn hot

Celcius
0: pretty cold, but reasonably livable.
100: you're already dead.

Hot: 100
Super cold: 0

Could be better, like if it were 0 at freezing.

On the other hand, while 0C is a great reference point, 100C is pretty much useless in day to day life. Unless you're trying to make pasta and absolutely must know at some point how close the water is to boiling as opposed to just waiting for it.

Incredible. All of those statements are 100% factually wrong.

Boiling water temperature is relevant because it's a good benchmark that anyone can use for temperature gauging. Water absolutely gets hotter than 100c. Lots of people have digital thermometers on their stovetops / ovens that tell you what your food is at.

Don't feel like searching for the joke chart that shows this, but....

Fahrenheit - 0 = very cold but livable | 100 = very hot but livable
Celsius - 0 = somewhat cold but easily livable | 100 = dead
Kelvin - 0 = dead | 100 = dead

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

But, somewhere around 5500F/3000C, is stops being water and splits apart into the component elements.

Kelvin starts at zero, specifically absolute zero, because that's how you should measure it.

Incidentally, this is why "negative forty degrees" is unambiguous.
They're identical in C and F, and impossible in K and R.

Yep, jutst like 120 F but you seem to stop before that because it makes it look better in your head.

Celsius is used for scientific purposes all the time. You clearly have not read through scientific journals.

My question stands, isn't it literally Celsius in terms of scale, just shifted so 0 is absolute 0?

Well are we talking about survivability? Because one can survive below 0. I think my thoughts about intuitiveness are still valid.

no that makes less sense, because it's never going to get anywhere close to 100C unless the world is ending. half of the temperature scale is wasted

Not really, it is intuitive for you because you have been using it yoru entire life, while C is intuitve for me because I have been using it my entire life, it just feels weird for you for the same reasons everyone feels weird when they were not raised with the imperial system.
