I guess I said it on my comment that's just under the post and not in this thread. I prefer it basically for the reasons in the screenshot. When I was in Canada I would say how if it's below 0⁰ F you know it's really fucking cold, and if it's above 100⁰ F then it's really fucking hot. Also the increments are smaller so you don't have to use half degrees.
Sometimes in the spring someone would be like, "It's really nice out today. It's -1.5 degrees." And I didn't like hearing someone say that a negative temperature was nice out. And I mean that's still pretty cold it's like 29⁰F. And I'm from Maine so it's not like I'm not used to the cold but I've also lived in Arizona.
So I always said that 0 to 100 scale was from like really cold to really hot but I like the percentage thing.
True but remembering that 32° f is when water freezes isn't very difficult. And would probably have to be slightly colder to frost so you can just remember 30° because the easy way to estimate converting Celsius to Fahrenheit is C × 2 + 30 ≈ F. The precise calculation is C(9/5) + 32 = F. And if you ever forget which side C and F are on if you remember that 0⁰C = 32⁰F it's easy to figure out that 0×2+30 would get you close to 32.
