I have zero reference for how hot my body is because I don’t feel my ambient temperature.

What I do know is that I feel cold if it’s anything below 30, and I know other people feel hot if it’s above 20. So what people consider hot/cold must clearly be based on something more than the average body temperature

I'm not saying it's perfect.

But 100 being body temp is a land mark, so it's not 100% arbitrary.
