Celsius is a fucking useless temperature system. Its benefits are fun fact-tier. Oh wow! It has reference points according to the states of matter of water! Epic! Shut the fuck up.
What use does that have? Fahrenheit has a completely practical scale, going from really cold (0) to really hot (100). It's based entirely on the human experience of temperature, which is what most of us use it every day for.
Now you might say, hey but in Fahrenheit the temperatures that water freezes and boils at are random arbitrary numbers! Yes, they are. For any self-hating Fahrenheit users out there, can you tell me the temperature at which water freezes in Fahrenheit? Probably. I live in a cold state so I naturally know that 32° is the freezing point of water. That number has a direct influence on things in my life, so I remember it. Does anyone know what temperature water boils at? It's 212°, but you probably didn't know that, because why the fuck would you. In what situation do you ever need to know that? The situations I've used that number are so few and far between that I haven't even bothered to commit it to memory. It's not even important enough to remember, forget being important enough to base an entire fucking system of temperature around. And if you did know that it was 212°, then what's the problem? You know the number, that's all you need.
Kelvin is important for science. What is celsius good for? I'd prefer it remains a guest star in science class in my world.
But, at the end of the day, none of this really matters. Does where zero starts really matter? No matter what the system is, we humans will get used to it.
QED I just wasted like 10 minutes. Still, fuck you celsius fanboys.
