A Canadian would call 25 C a very hot day. As a Brazilian I’d be laughing and considering using warmer clothing.

Claiming that one scale works better for human perception of temperature is quite literally wrong, by definition, as your scale can’t account for how extremely subjective this is.

With Celsius, however, the subjectivity is gone: everybody knows what a fucking ice cube is, everybody has boiled water, everybody knows roughly how warm a body should be. It’s super easy.

Also, what the fuck are you talking about scales that “only go to 38” and comparing it to test scores? Celsius can go to temperatures in the -200 range and essentially infinitely up. A soldering iron is hotter than 38 C, I can guarantee you that.
