it's not about what makes more sense: what makes more sense is what you use everyday and is natural to you. 40+ C is freaking hot because when you experience it, it's freaking hot. It's about what the entire rest of the world is using as a standard.

Metric system is best system, no exceptions.

Anything over 40°C is fuckin' hot, anything under 4°C is fuckin' cold.

you can only be living in a dry as fuck area if your fuckin hot threshold is at 40

Thankfully I am, but I was born and raised on the coast, so I know the pain of a 44°C day at close to 100% humidity.
