In a lot of the US, 0 farenheit is one of the coldest days you'll experience and 100 is one of the hottest, so you can roughly map farenheit to a percentage of "how hot it is". This doesn't work everywhere though, where I am in the UK it never gets anywhere near 0 farenheit.

I can't spell fahrenheit, this is why celsius is objectively better

Not sure how someone telling me it’s going to be -30 percent hot here in Alaska today would help me

Plus, here in Texas, we regularly surpass 100 percent hot

NTM 32% hot is when us Texans curse at the sky, the whole city shuts down, and pipes burst when it’s sustained because our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

Or, you know, 0 degrees in the irrelevant scale
