I got it, just asking where the numbers come from.
Well, 0°F comes from the temperature of any mixture of ice, water, and ammonium hydroxide. 100, idk, but I'm guessing Fahrenheit had an upper bound.
Either way, he made a scale that said, for people, "really cold" to "really hot" and it is pretty instinctual to me.
Sorry I meant the comfortable temperatures. That I am not clear how is decided 😅 or who decided those values.
