My water does not describe 100°C as "warm"
As a woman I also only take 100ºC showers

The US could have switched to the world-wide standard years ago but under Reagan the switch was abandoned.
No, the original “Make America Great Again” guy? The first actor elected President who presided over an unprecedented health crisis and ignored it because he hoped it would only hurt the “right” people, and plunged America into an economic disaster the likes of which we are still feeling today and may never recover from? That guy?
God this place actually sucks

100 degrees is uncomfortably hot for a sauna. Somewhere around 80 is good.

yup, i take baths in 100C regularly bc its warm :3
That's hard-boiled (for eggs)

Well if sauna is considered a bath then yes
The sauna you're in is 100°C? 212°F?
I think you might be dead bro. -

I think you might be dead bro.Sauna temperature is usually around 80-100°C, depending on your preference.
World Sauna Championship starting temperature was 110°C

What I'll defend, however, is fractional measurements when precision matters.
With decimal measurements, precision can't be nearly as granular. If your measurement is precise to one 1/8 of a unit, how do you represent that in decimal? 0.625 implies your measurement is precise to the nearest thousandth, but rounding it to 1 also isn't precise. 5/8, however, tells you the measurement AND the precision.
With fractional measurements, you can specify precision by changing the denominator to any number, whereas decimal is essentially fractional measurements, but with fixed denominator at powers of 10. For instance, a measurements of a half-unit with levels of precision between 0.1 and 0.10, fractional can be 6/12, 7/14, 8/16, 9/18, 10/20, 24/48, etc. Decimal can't specify that precision without essentially writing a sentance.
What's simpler to record? "24/48" or "0.5 +- 0.208333...."
If I want to build something and I want it to be 23/48" ± 1/24" how would I write that? Because the way I understand it x/48" would imply a tolerance of ± 1/48".

100 warm
Yeah, I suppose that's one way to describe 100°C

As a European living in the US now for many years the temperature scale is the least of my annoyances. It's easy enough to memorize be ranges for what to wear. Fahrenheit is more granular, which is nice sometimes but really doesn't matter.
No, let's convert all the ridiculous weight/volume measures first. Having two kinds of ounces makes no sense. Measuring solids by volume (mostly) doesn't make sense. Having different units for different magnitudes doesn't make sense.
Fortunately things are often labeled in both metric and customary units so I can convert way easier.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to have my 12 fluid ounces of coffee and a 1/3 cup of oatmeal.
different units for different magnitudes
I'm not sure I get what you mean? Are you saying how we use ounces for tiny weights, pounds for "human"-ish weights, and tons for huge weights?

Any hotter wouldn't be a shower anymore, would it?

I think it's sort of useful for weather, since in most places you're not gonna see temperatures under 0F or above 100F much if at all, so the scaling seems a bit easier. Other than that though, yeah, it's pretty terrible.
Where I live temperature in celsius is symmetric about 0. -40 to +40. I think that scaling is easier than -40 to +100.

We could have had it as early as 1793, but the ship carrying the metric standards was attacked by pirates.

You really recognize these weirdly precise numbers in packaging.
355ml. 454g. 25.4mm.
Yeah, suuuuure your chocolate bar is precise to 3 sig figs..
I wouldn't actually be surprised if chocolate bars are that exact. The equipment to do it is easily available, and they would be motivated to buy it to save having even 1 extra gram in the package.

0°C = outside the sauna
100°C = inside the sauna
Preferrable way less outside of the sauna.

Being surrounded by hot air does a lot less than getting dumped into hot water, so the egg shouldn't get hard unless it sat there for a really long time.
