Not to defend Fahrenheit, it's a nonsense scale, however: As with most subjective scales the entire scale can be split into good and not good. The top part is good and the bottom part is not good. The middle of the top part is seen as average good.

So around 75 degrees would be perfect, which is close enough for something as subjective as temperature.

This is why in things like movie or game reviews a 7/10 is seen as average. Like it's good, in the good part, but right in the middle not anything special. A 5/10 or lower is seen as not good, not worth seeing, not worth your time etc. This works for reviews, grades, person attractiveness rating etc.

Yet, Temperature is not a nonlinear star-rating by IGN, is it?

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 18 points 11 months ago

Are you saying global warming is actually caused by the bias of IGN reviewers?

The flooding of Amsterdam was really epic, 10/10 IGN

Can you prove that?

Why not? Most people only meaningfully engage with temperature scales when checking weather forecasts. It's all pretty subjective.

If course there's a need for Celsius or Kelvin in scientific applications, but that's not for the overwhelming majority of people.

but that's not for the overwhelming majority of people.

Surely you're aware that the overwhelming majority of people do not live in the US. Nearly everyone is fine with Celcius. Billions of people, as opposed to a few hundred million that have been socialised to using the other scale
