Or humans. Fahrenheit is convenient because normal outside temperatures
range from 0 to 100 (ish). I don't care how comfortable the water is.
But now I have to remember that -17 is cold and 38 is hot.

How hard is it to remember that -17 is cold? -17 is cold in both F & C.

The difference is that in F it's F-ing cold, while in C it's just C-C-C-Cold.
