I actually like fahrenheit for weather. 0 is really fucking cold, 100 is really fucking hot.

Both are confusing. Let's use colours instead:

Red = hot, wear shorts and a t shirt

Blue = cold, grab a jacket

Pretty intuitive without any prior knowledge.

I have always hated this argument. If that were the case, then 50 would be the most comfortable temperature and it's not. This scale is about 20 degrees off since most everybody prefers a temperature of about 70 F.

Works for Celsius as well. 0°C is damn cold, and 100°C is damn hot weather.

Swede here, 0 C is not particularly cold

Plus Fahrenheit gives you more increments of degrees within a given range.
