i've heard it argued that Fahrenheit is the more human temperature scale, and weather is used as the example, with 70°F as a comfy air temperature and 100°C being very hot.

i'd like to argue that Celsius is the more human one because it's perfect for cooking. 100°C to boil soup. 70°C is nice and hot for eating. 50°C and below is getting a little lukewarm. <10°C to keep in the fridge. under 0°C to freeze it.

F is more granular in the thermostat comfort zone so integers will suffice but with C I need a decimal point. No one cares that water boils at 100 C, (which is only true at sea level anyways).

I say this despite being Canadian and generally preferring metric.
