Same.

Not to mention that the 0-100 range thingy really depends on local conditions. I mean, depending on where you live, there are parts of the scale you'll never use.

I've never in my entire life lived in a place where the lowest temp got anything close to 0°F.

My range of values is more -5°C - 45°C, or 23F - 113F.

23F for me is already fucking cold, and 100F is nowhere near fucking hot anymore (thank the entire humanity for climate change).

So whichever scale, for me they're still just a bunch of numbers. But at least Celsius is used in "science, bitch!"
