Fahrenheit is anchored on real life daily measurements.
Intentionally or not, you've just touched on why Imperial measurements survived 2000 years of empires. Because every single one was designed to be as relative to an individual person as possible, with no measuring tools required. You could trade with anyone civilized and they will understand exactly how much you required or were talking about
A mile was 1000 steps. 100 Fahrenheit is the point temperature becomes an active danger to human life as it's above our body temp. Retards like to mock the "foot" as though measuring things in body parts is backwards except that's literally where it came from; an average foot size. This was divided into twelfths because a twelfth offers the greatest amount of precise divisions without requiring tools (whole, half, third, quarter, sixth and eighth). You can't get a third of a meter without precisely measuring it.
The temperature is really the only metric part I don’t understand. Why would someone insist on using it over the clearly superior Fahrenheit? Nothing more than a middle finger to America I suppose.
It works better in purely scientific mediums, but Kelvin works even better than that in purely scientific mediums, so it's got some weird middle-kid energy.
Not a great idea in a base 10 number system. This is how you start to make mistakes that cause planes to fall out of the sky, all because the US must identify itself as "not Europe" in every possible way.
Science uses Kelvin anyway and for everyday uses, Celsius and Fahrenheit are both workable.
I'd argue that Fahrenheit degrees are too small though, nobody can tell the difference between 70°F and 71°F so why split them so finely? Just useless extra clicks on the car thermostat.
Celsius also has the advantage of having the 0° point at the level where roads get slippery, snow starts to fall, pipes start to freeze, etc. A negative Celsius number is clear sign that precautions need to be taken while 32°F is just another number, ain't nobody got time for that.

It's just fractions. Idiots don't know how to do fractions, so they use metric instead.

Metric is better, but not for temperature. Fahrenheit should be used in all but scientific applications.
