I’m making the case that your “human environmental temperature” is a shit reason to pick Fahrenheit because we have all these things that surprisingly don’t conform to it. So you’ll have to go outside the 0-100 range anyway. So you won’t get any “benefit” from it, even when the “benefit” was dubious to begin with.

It's better to pick the scale that does conform to it for the vast majority of applications, and then just deal with the others. Either by using C or just dealing with it. For every 1 time you need to deal with temps of your computer, you'll interact with the environmental temperature a thousand times. And neither C or F are inherently better for describing CPU temps.

Wait till you see international ovens and cooking manuals. It’s gonna blow your mind.

Oh, I forgot to pull out my cooking manual. Yeah C is MUCH better.

Okay we can all go home. Fal says "C is MUCH better." Argument over

Fal has released us poor souls from this torment. Blessed be.

I mean neither conforms very well, that's the whole point. And what's the deal with 0-100, why is that so beneficial in your opinion?

Well yeah, it was simply about the 0-100 thing.

Wait till you see the ovens. It's incredible. There's usually few temps you need to care about and it changes in 20 degree marks. Incredible, I know.
