    Someone posted here once something like

    Farienhiet is how humans feel. Celsius is how water feels. Kelvin is how atoms feel.

    I kinda like that.

      It only makes sense if you grow up with Fahrenheit. Otherwise Fahrenheit isn’t how humans feels since most of us have no concept what these number mean.

      If I would just go with 0 - cold 100 - hot I would assume 50 - perfect. But 50 is still chilly. 70-80 feels like it should be getting hot but that’s the most comfortable temperature.

        Honestly it makes more sense with Celsius. -40 is really cold. +40 is really hot

        Again. 0 is still freezing. But in the relative scale it’s not so bad
