You really don’t understand what reference points are. The scale is useless without reference points, and I’m not accustomed to them while I have very clear ones for Celsius.
Sure I can understand that 100F feels very hot, but if I was outside in that temperature I couldn’t tell you an estimate in Fahrenheit how hot it feels
0 and 100 aren’t just “very cold” and “very hot”. They are potentially dangerously so, and you need to take extra precautions at temperatures beyond those limits. You don’t necessarily have to understand it beyond that.
It is pretty funny how your supposed completely intuitive human feeling system needs to have all these disclaimers added to it whenever you try to explain it. Perhaps it is only intuitive because you are used to it after all?
The reference points are 0 and 100! You don’t have to get accustomed to them, they are the same reference points used by the entire base-10 numerical system. It is a percentage.
And yes, you could step out into 100F degree heat and accurately estimate the temperature. Is it the hottest day of summer? Are you beginning to experience symptoms of heat fatigue? Are you saying to yourself “This is one of the hottest days I have ever experienced”, all the same stuff you’d think if you stepped outside into 37.8C weather. Then it’s probably close to the high end of the scale, i.e. 100F.
Okay so you’re making lot of weird assumptions here. I don’t know how hot weather 37°C feels, other than that for me 30+ is absolute hell. I’ve never experienced heatwave that bad for what I remember. Hottest summer days here are just about 30°C, and it’s miserable.
Reference point means that I’m able to easily understand what that temperature is.
I can easily understand 100°C though, sauna is getting too hot and I should open window and chill down with feeding the fire.
For 0-30 I can easily understand how I should dress outside, and 0°C is easy to understand because just above it and I know it’s going to be wet and slippery if there was negatives before it, and below 0 is slippery if there was positives earlier.
What is intuitive to you is totally a subjective experience based on your earlier experiences and what you’re used to use to measure temperatures.
Lmao your sauna is not clearing 100C, that’s well past the point at which saunas can become hazardous to your health. If you genuinely run your sauna that hot then start looking into competitions because you’re gonna blow all those professionals out of the water.
Also I’m not making any assumptions here. That’s just you trying to grasp at straws to save your failing argument. You don’t know what 37C feels like? Weird, I know what 100F feels like. I guess fahrenheit is just more intuitive than Celsius (by your logic, anyway).
Also, all you’ve done is list a bunch of understandings about Celsius that depend entirely on experience and prior knowledge. “Above 0 is like this, below is like that, I know how to dress for 0-30” This is all stuff you had to be taught/learn, the exact opposite of intuitive.
But I can say to someone unfamiliar with either system “Fahrenheit is a 0-100 scale of hot how it is outside” and they know almost everything they need to know about fahrenheit.
