-40% hot, that's pretty damn cold!
0% hot = 100% cold
so
-40% hot = 140% cold ❄️
If it gets hot this year I'm going to go off to my partner about how its almost 0% cold.

Ummm... doesn't this description actually fit better with celsius? 0% hot is frozen. 100% hot is boiling. No?

Is reading this what having a stroke feels like?
Percentage of what motherfucker?
"Hot" I believe
I mean, he's not wrong. Celsius is about how hot water is. As someone who has lived half my life on each continent and uses Celsius for everything, I do still think that Fahrenheit is a better unit to use for weather (except 0 not being freezing) while Celsius is better for everything else. But using 2 units is dumb so Celsius it is.
They are indeed very wrong. Their percentage is gauged for a very specific climate, and is entirely subjective. You may personally and subjectively think it suits you, but it is not objectively a better unit to use for weather in the slightest. It would make no sense where I live for example.
Fahrenheit is about how hot water is, and how cold brine is, and how 180 is highly factorable. Celsius is about how hot water is and how 100 is nice in base 10.
