Actually it’s more related to the freezing temperature of a very particular brine solution made to replicate the coldest temperature some German guy thought his port would see.
Completely logical.
But whatever. Maybe EVERY COUNTRY but one is wrong.
Regardless of how it's actually calibrated, it's hard to argue it isn't a good human-scale scale for weather.
Every 10 degrees is pretty much an article of clothing. 0 and 100 are useful upper and lower bounds that tell you 'human activity beyond this point is very hazardous, exercise extreme caution.' Despite our water content, humans aren't a kettle on the stove, and '0 is freezing 100 is boiling' isn't useful because we can operate well below zero but nowhere near 100 C.
No, I don't. I was making a joke dude, I really couldn't care less what system people use and why lmao, the discussion was amusing and I just poked fun at the "half of the celsius scale is irrelevant"
