it's not arbitrary, it's based on the uh, the freezing temperature of uh, ammonium chloride! we're all familiar with how cold that is! and, and, and, uh, the upper end is, uh ... they decided on 96. it's not arbitrary!!!![emoji wojak-nooo wojak-nooo](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/44f42cb5-b644-4687-a9f4-14557f5c0582.png)
bro used a wojak unironically lmao
It's based on how humans feel about heat, which was then translated into ammonium chloride so as not to be arbitrarily based on opinion. Without basing it on a chemical solution, it wouldnt be recreatable.
