I'm not sure I agree with the take for farenheit. It's an arbitraty choice, and to me who grew up in a country that uses celsius, I find that far easier to understand and farenheit may as well be random numbers to me.

Whatever your grew up with will always seem more intuitive for most people. But given that I grew up with Fahrenheit, the whole “0 is cold as fuck, 100 is hot as fuck” thing works for me.

Farenheit is asking Americans how hot they feel.

Do Americans feel heat differently or something?

Outside of the USA noone knows what idk, 50°F feels like. Probably around room temperature since you say it's based on how humans feel but I have no idea.
