The fever temperature, maybe. But the rest makes more sense in C. It’s so much easier when 0C is freezing and 100C is boiling. It works with cooking. Counting in increments of 5 or 10 also works for weather.
Who bundles up in 68F? It’s literally room temperature
Also it’s useful in cooking because it’s an actual, useful scale. You know when it’s 90C it’s about to be boiling, just makes no sense why you gotta memorize 212F. Random number and all

<0C = below freezing
0-10C = cold
10-20C = cool (sweater or hoodie)
20-30C = t-shirt weather
30C and above = hot
Explain how this is useful in cooking
68 to 86 is a GIGANTIC difference. 68 is cold for many many people, certainly not “t-shirt weather”. and 86 is hot, much more than “t-shirt weather”.

Never said “bundling up”. But that 10 degree range is so big as to be useless. 68 is not in the same category as 86.
What? How often are you putting thermometers in whatever it is you’re boiling? You just heat it until it boils. It doesn’t matter what the number is.
i dunno, 68F on a cloudy windy day isn’t as pleasant as 68F and sunny.
But then again I’m from Ohio and I won’t bother to put on so much as a vest until it hits 50s
100 is absolutely a random number, just fetishized.
i literally set my thermostat at 69 because its t shirt warm.
