0 is set at water freezing at 1 atm
100 is set at water boiling at 1 atm
Those two are a lot more precise than "le cold" and "le hot" respectively.
>Kelvin is more useful in science
Depends on the field. A biologist will never use Kelvin. Kelvin is only relevant when entropy comes into play: chemistry and certain areas of physics.
>Celsius is neither intuitive nor useful in any way
It's only intuitive to you because you're a lardistani who's never left his shithole. Normal people don't understand what "walk 500 ft" means, but they understand "walk 200 m" perfectly fine.
>It's just bad and should be permanently abolished
I agree. We should all use reduced Planck units and set the Boltzmann constant to 1. We should say "it's a comfortable 1.4*10^(-30) outside". Now that's scientific.

Distances are all arbitrary but no Fahrenheit is absolutely more intuitive for the layman than Celsius
0-100 is obviously a more intuitive scale than -18-38 and it's more granular in regards to whole numbers
Nearly everywhere on Earth falls within the 0-100 range on average and thus anything outside that range can be easily and quickly interpreted as an extreme
0 being freezing is somewhat intuitive but still less so than Fahrenheit because it gets below freezing regularly in many places on Earth
100 in Celsius being based around boiling is nonsensical because nowhere that people live ever reaches that ambient temperature

You go outside. You saw some snow in the morning, but it has melted by now. You can therefore guess the temperature is around 0 C, a few degress belwo that in the morning. 32 is not a more intuitive number.

It's kinda cold, so you go back home to make some tea. You boil water. You see it boiling, which means it's at around 100 C. 212 is not a not a more intuitive number.

Retards will scream about muh 0-100 range being more intuitive, but never adress that any range without an intuitive REFERENCE POINT can't hope to be intuitive. It's arbitrary by definition.

I have never needed to compare temperatures to the freezing and boiling points of water, so those points are pretty useless. However, the 0-100 scale in Fahrenheit closely matches temperature ranges that people will encounter living on Earth. 0 is uncomfortably cold, 100 is uncomfortably hot. You can say to someone in the US that the high temperatures for the next week will be in the 70's and they know it'll be pleasant, tell someone who uses Celsius it'll be in the 20's and they won't be sure what to wear. For most scientific purposes they're both fine, as is Kelvin, as long as everyone agrees on which system is being used. Fahrenheit is base-10 like the others so it avoids the pitfalls of most US-standard measurements.

But that's the whole point boiling water is not an intuitive reference point for everyday life.
Nobody walks outside and thinks "hm it's 80% as hot as it would need to be to boil water".
Boiling water is not a common natural occurrence for most animals including humans. It's a rare thing you have to seek out. People don't live in geothermal vents. You don't have to consider the boiling rain that's gonna come down later when you decide what to wear.

Humans have to force water to boil intentionally in everyday life at which point the exact temperature becomes irrelevant to them. You just heat it until it bubbles.
The same is kind of true for freezing. That's why people created and use these words in the first place "boil" and "freeze" instead of specifying the exact temperature. That's why it's not useful in everyday life to base your temperature system around these exact values. In this sense the only real use average people have for numerical temperatures is to describe ambient temperatures in which case Fahrenheit is more intuitive.

And these numbers are close to 100 are they not? So all these temperatures should feel relatively close to each other intuitively should they not? And they do.
I really don't understand your point. Temperature constantly fluctuates so what? People generally don't need exact temperatures down to the last digit in every day situations not even when cooking.

The only difference with Celsius in this regard is you have to use more decimals to really say even close to the accurate temperature. In which case this means most people using Celsius are actually way LESS accurate on average than Fahrenheit users because people often don't do that. In casual conversation do you think people are more likely to say "it's 27.5C" vs just 27 or 28? Yet the difference between 27.5C and 28C is more significant than the difference between 27F and 28F. Celsius being on a tighter scale literally just makes it easier to be less accurate in every day use.

kek. And? 2C is also close to 0C, but water never boils at 0C under 1 atm of pressure. You really can’t seem to understand the point of having units at all. If I calibrate my thermometer according to your “close enough” criteria, it’s gonna be a shitty thermometer, isn’t it? People would rather use a thermometer with smaller error margins that was calibrated using sensible methods rather than just going outside and “feeling it”.

Once again, think about what you’re saying but in the context of length. If you’re a carpenter who has an order for a 1ftx6inx1in plank and you go ahead it and do it “by feel” and “close enough” as you put it, your customer would just tell you to go fuck yourself because he had paid you money for a deficient product.

Again I don't see your point at all.
A Fahrenheit thermometer can be just as accurate or inaccurate as a Celsius thermometer. The Celsius thermometer just need to use more decimals to be more accurate.
I think you're the one who doesn't understand the point of having units. The point of having units in this case is to measure things in a convenient way that makes sense to most people. The more decimals you have to use the less convenient it becomes to an average person.
And whether you like it or not accurate temperatures themselves are not useful to 99% of people. The way the temperature feels is all that matters to them and if they can represent it more accurately with a whole number that is better for everyone.

No, the point of having units is consistency in communication. If your inch is different from my inch, then there’s no point in talking about an inch of something at all. Hence why people come up with definitions and standards. Something you have failed to elaborate on for Fahrenheit. Because for two different people, “le uncomfortably hot” can mean two entirely different things. I can arbitrarily “uncomfortably hot” 100F to be that time I felt like shit on July 29th 2009 and Pekka Hakkionen can tell me it’s actually that time when he put too much water on the rocks in his sauna. Neither of these are descriptive and repeatable, so they don’t communicate anything meaningful and practical.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your inventors are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “users” laugh at your inconsistency behind closed doors.

Scientists are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of scientific progress have allowed them to sniff out fake units with incredible efficiency. Even imperial units that “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a scientist. Your lack of a physical constant is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk scientist to use you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he secures serious funding.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the obsolescence creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - there will be another act akin to the Metric Act of 1866 or the Mendenhall Order, another space mission failure due to conversion errors, you will stop being used at all and plunge into the cold abyss. Your inventors will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your equivalent in metric, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a SI unit is buried there. Your value will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a definition that is unmistakably metric.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

In most of Europe 0 degree Celsius basically means it's gotten cold and the winter/snow season has arrived. After that it -1 to -30 is pretty intuitive. -10 is bearable, lower than that and it's really cold. In summer below 22 c is pleasant, and higer than that is getting hot, above 30 it's very hot.

Temperature is a crock of shit and everything in thermodynamics becomes a million times more intuitive when you treat energy as energy instead of something distinguishable from energy: Expansion coefficients, heat capacities, latent heats, entropy, it all just just becomes simple unitless coefficients that come out of different statistical averaging. Instead we're forever doomed to fling around random temperature scales and gas coefficients because chemfags are too rigid to change the way they do things.

Fuck 'em. I'm taking a page from the plasmachads and measuring temperatures in meV from now on.

Asking the American anons here: how do you make your own Fahrenheit thermometer?!
I'm not trying to troll or be sarcastic or anything, I'm genuinely asking.
Because I know how to make a Celsius thermometer, I pour a little mercury in an extremely narrow glass rod. I put the glass rod inside a pot of water with ice in it, wait a few seconds and mark the surface level of mercury, that my 0. Then I put the glass rod inside a boiling water and wait a few seconds, mark the surface level of mercury and that's my 100. Then I divide the distance between 0 and 100 into a hundred parts and each part represents a degree Celsius.

What's the procedure for Fahrenheit?!

The low-point (0f) involves boiling piss, soot and salt until there is no more water. It's kept heated and covered and you mix whatever forms on the lid in water and ice to get a mixture that settles itself at 0f
