I group up with F, I find it far easier to understand. Celsius is slightly less random, but someone still arbitrarily decided it should be 0 to 100 for the liquid state of pure H2O at sea level. It could have been based on any other number of ranges.

    I'm biased living in a °C country, but water seems like a better choice than anything else, since water is a common element that we can easily observe its phase changes and those phase changes effect how we have to interact with it on a daily basis.

    Although if I was to improve it I think I'd base it on the temperature range that salmonella can grow, as that seems like it might be useful to be able to remember more easily 😂 🧑‍🍳
