Hundreds of replies, but almost never a single one even hinting at the real right way to choose, the way that languages themselves choose what words to use, for all words in the language, when multiple synonyms are available
(And no, it’s not because 0 and 100 are easy to remember. No)

= more frequently used words must be shorter, both in writing and in speaking
= for units, the unit system where it is shortest to write / say a certain range of numbers to sufficient accuracy, will win when talking about numbers in that range
= For ~0-200 F, Fahrenheit dominates, always speakable in fewer syllables, so Fahrenheit wins for that range.
Linguistic parsimony / Maximum efficiency
Try to find a single paper that ever spells this out though.

Lego “discovered that when a boy plays with a toy of a character, he tries to become the character, and when a girl does the same thing, she tries to make the character become her. So if you give a boy a Batman toy, he's gonna want to know everything there is to know about Batman, and he'll try to think and talk like Batman when he plays with the toy. The little girl on the other hand is going to make Batman go shopping, bake cookies, and go to the prom.”
So is the 4chan story real?

Yes.

“Boys tend to be a lot more about good versus evil, whereas girls really see themselves through the mini-doll.”

“[Girls] wanted a greater level of detail, proportions and realism”

Meme confirmed, yet again.
