I have no idea what this means.

Humans can survive 100 F so it’s not a scale of 0-100, which you would expect for a system based on humans

Why does the scale need to be perfect in your opinion?

The person I responded to said it was based off humans, I was arguing that it wasn’t because no patterns exist in relation to humans

And how is Celsius better?

Well the person claimed it’s based on the temperature of water at sea level with 0 being freezing and 100 being boiling. This would be the 0-100% for water

No one said it’s a scale limited from 0 to 100 on the basis of survivability. That’s something you just made up on the spot to push some weird narrative.

The person I responded to said it was based off humans, I was arguing that it wasn’t because no patterns exist in relation to humans

I again have no idea what you’re saying. The patterns of 0 being low and 100 being high isn’t a pattern related to humans? That’s obviously not true. We use 0 as the bottom and 100 for the top on a lot of other things.

Well the person claimed it’s based on the temperature of water at sea level with 0 being freezing and 100 being boiling. This would be the 0-100% for water

Why are you limiting 0 and 100 as cut offs?

Technically, water can still go higher than 100°C, same as humans can go higher than 100°F. Water turns into steam. If the temperature continues to rise, the steam would theoretically enter a plasma state. Then, you could say the water has “died” as the atoms and molecules lose their electrons.
