Has it ever occurred to you that freezing and boiling water don't have to be milestones on a thermometer?

Yeah, but this is one of the most common uses

Fahrenheit system
General range of naturally occurring temperatures - 0-100 degrees fahrenheit
Seems kind of useful for weather and temperature.
Obviously it isn't useful otherwise.

I have used both. For daily use, there isn't any difference, at all. For science and shit, Celsius is so much better.

Fahrenheit isn't based on the freezing and boiling points of water. It's based on the freezing point of brine and the average human body temperature (which was exactly 96 until someone made a mistake).
