Over on imgur, a user called DoofusDad created a real-life five-foot square to illustrate what it actually looks like.
The whole scale just makes more sense to me if 0 and 100 are tied to objective values. In Fahrenheit, they’re just seemingly arbitrary “really cold” and “really hot.” Makes it harder for me to grokk what the numbers between those points actually mean.

...What? Meters aren’t a scale.Just curious. What objective physical phenomenon do you tie 100 meters to?

No, meters are units of measurement. I suppose you could say 100 meters is 1/400,000 the circumference of the earth?Yes they are

No, Celsius abs Fahrenheit are scales. Degrees are units of measurement.Celcius and Farenheit are units of measurement too.

One hundred metres is:
One one-hundred thousandth of the distance from the equator to the north pole.
The length of 165076373 wavelengths in vacuum of the radiation of krypton-86.
The distance light travels in a vacuum in the time of 3.33564095e-7 seconds.
