Okay. Or, hear me out.

On a scale from 0-100, you have very cold and very hot.

Or you’ve got from 0-45. Where 0 is “meh” cold and 45 is incredibly warm.

So you’ve got a nice little 0-100 scale that all humans are going to experience just living that goes from very cold to very hot.

Or you’ve got a useless 0-100 scale that the bottom just means freezing, and ignores every pain point of being really cold below that, and anything really greater than 50C only has practical applications in cooking.

0 isn't the bottom of the celcius temperature scale, there are negative numbers
