Celsius is the superior scale:
100° is the perfect temperature inside the Sauna.
0° is the perfect water temperature for a bath after the Sauna.

I work with Americans and this hits home hard. It's especially infuriating when they format their dates. "I had a meeting with so-and-so on 4/5" and nobody has any fucking clue what they mean.
The worst part is how hopelessly oblivious they are about it. It's not even like they don't care that nobody does things their stupid way - it's the fact that they're so insulated that they can't even fathom that nobody does things the same way they do. It just goes to show how clueless they are about the rest of the world and how little they get out of their neighborhoods.
It drives me mad. At this point, it's just offensive how ignorant they can be sometimes. If you have to work with other people, you should at least make an effort to be aware of the fact that others do things a different way and try to avoid situations like this, but they just refuse to do so.
Apologies... /rant
I'm American and always use 30 Dec 2023 as my date scheme. It makes much more sense. I also work in a multicultural laboratory, so there should be no question as to what date it is, but some of my colleagues still use mm-dd-yy.

That makes it even worse. When the date uses slashes I expect it to be American, but with dashes anything other than yyyy-mm-dd doesn't even read as a date to me

Like the American below, I generally use 30-December 2023 partly because I work with an international company but mostly because after the century rolled over and we had years that looked like months I got confused.
Had a boss that formatted all dates as YYYY-MM-DD because that makes them sort correctly in lists.

That's how you know it's the correct date format

Everyone should be using ISO8601 anyway. yyyy-mm-dd is superior to both and leaves 0 ambiguity to the reader no matter where they're from.

Isn't basing a temperature scale on the freezing and boiling points of water a bit arbitrary in and of itself?
The reason they are arbitrary numbers in Fahrenheit is because they weren't considerations when the scale was made.

Fahrenheit is like school grades: 60 is minimum tolerance and beyond 100 adds nothing but misery.
That's not how school grades work were I live but I guess I now understand Fahrenheit

Anything past 85F adds nothing but misery.
About 30C to the people who use real units

50 is pretty nice what are you on about
Yeah, I'm not going to the beach at 50F, but I can hike, golf, just hang out outdoors, etc. If it's sunny 50F can even feel rather warm.
Perfect running weather.

I'd say 50 is perfect
Found the Canadian
Between 50 and 63 I'm in heaven. Anything higher than that and all i want to do is go swimming, which as an adult with responsibilities, i never get to. Anything lower than that, and i have to wear more clothes and look fatter than i am.

There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant
New Englander born and raised. Thats hoodie and shorts weather. Best time of the year.
Minnesota checking in. This is exactly correct. Great time for sitting around a fire.
If you score 100 on a test then that's a perfect, therefore 100 is the perfect temperature.

NGL I could be jogging outside at windless 50 degrees everyday. That would be a dream compared to my current life in the hell that is the 47th Latitude Great Plains Region.
50 is indeed perfect.
50f is pretty comfy unless you hate long sleeves or are super sensitive to it being slightly cold.

We could make it work like that. Just have the thermometer be narrower at the bottom.
That's going to add a lot to simplicity and ease of understanding, for sure. And don't change the name of the scale or it will be too easy to distinguish them
Same for c, but at half the scale tbh. (with a bit of a stretch to the imagination)
50 is very hot. 0 is cold. 25c is perfect.
25c is literally cock and ball torture what are ya on about. Then again I'm an Irish guy who hasn't left my country in nearly a decade so I don't even know what more than 25c feels like

Interestingly if you take the middle of the freezing point (32F) and 100F, you do get a mildly warm 71. No this does not prove anything, yes I'll still say it.
~~Then if you average THAT with 50, you get 60.5... and you see all three numbers make a triangle. Illuminati confirmed.~~

I've lived in 3 different countries in like 5 different climate zones and none of them had temperatures that fit nicely in the 0-100⁰F range.
