    0 as freezing isn’t bad, but boiling at 100 feels wrong. It’s not enough of a difference. Fahrenheit’s number values may be a little wonky and arbitrary seeming but it gives a better sense of scale.

        And I’m sure you are correct about that, but I acclimated to metric measurement for both length and temp at work. Measuring size is just better that way and I’ve abandoned imperial entirely even for home projects, and the temperatures we deal with at work are big, so the Celsius scale fits. Maybe I compartmentalized, IDK.
