Fahrenheit isn't "based on humans." I can subjectively claim that 0°F is as unreasonably cold as 100°F is unreasonably warm; 30-90 is the only acceptable range. That's arguably more arbitrary than 0-30.

100, at the time the units were invented, was considered to be human body temperature

And still isn't a comfortable external temperature.

That would have made medical sense, making Fahrenheit actually useful for certain applications, and then they fucked it up.

Fahrenheit is just more intuitive to me, but that alone makes me prefer Celsius

and then you add all of the other benefits on top. We really need to get on the metric system.
