If you take issue with defining units based on vibes i have terrible news about the second, the meter, and the kilogram. Basically any unit is arbitrary until it becomes a standard

And celsius fully ignores the effect pressure has on the boiling/melting point of water. Turns out temperature units only measure temperature
Farenheit is set up such that temperatures between 0 and 100 convey the subjective feel. 0F is really cold, 100F is really hot. Obviously cold and hot feel is subjective, but what could be more human than subjectivity?

Lettuce grows in a bundle of very tightly packed leaves. At no part in the growing - transport - shelving - selling chain can anyone be expected to thoroughly wash between the leaves, especially near the root. Rinse your veggies before using.

Not to say baking soda couldn’t help, I don’t know the exact chemistry behind this stuff, but I do know that onion + maillard reaction does not yield caramelized onions

Here’s my take
The thing that makes any unit useful is being an agreed upon standard, which is true of both F and C. the “feel right” part is just how it got there. When Celsius stuck a thermometer in freezing water and marked its position, he called that 100 degrees based on vibes. Later on, a french academic decided that actually freezing should be 0 and boiling should be 100, and that decision was based on vibes. Why is it any different when Farenheit made a vibes based decision to put 0 in a different spot than celsius?
