European here! For me it's...

Celcius:

0 = Water freezes

100 = Water boils

Fahrenheit as far as I can tell:

~100 = Hot enough that it shows up on the news

~400-450 = Cooking, because our stove is in Fahrenheit for some unknown reason.

All other temperatures in F = no idea.

The main Fahrenheit I know is -40F.

Mostly because its also -40C.

Wait euro ovens are in Fahrenheit as well? I just thought it was our identity crisis measurements in Canada.

Having used a lot of Celsius and metric in college sciences, they don’t bother me so much. But when it comes to certain applications, I’m more used to farenheight. For example temperature as it relates to human comfort.

Like I know 35 c is hot, and anything in the 40+ is miserable. But I also know I prefer temperatures to be in the 72-75 range for optimum comfort and thus have to do a bit of math if I need that in Celsius.
