    I don’t know about you but I do not only use temperature in order to know if my body is hot or if outside is cold or not. I usually use temperature scales in order to know if my computer is hot, my car/bike engine, my food, water for cooking, water for showering, and sometimes since all life is water based I like to know if my food is freezed or is boling. And since at sea level water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C (damn how cool!), then I have an scale that I can use for weather but at the same time for everything else it’s very intuitive to use in an habitat where all life depends on water. Cook this at 120: oh okay the recipe wants me to boil water I may not even need to measure the water because when it starts boiling that’s it.

    Having water as a reference is quite normal if you are going to need a scale for more than just forecasting weather, like, for everything else.

      I don’t know about you but I do not only use temperature in order to know … if outside is cold or not

      Yeah what maniac would care about something like that

      I usually use temperature scales in order to know if my computer is hot, my car/bike engine, my food

      Oh, I see, the things that everyone uses temperature for all the time. Perfect sense.

      I like to know if my food is freezed or is boling

      You all are doing a terrible job of selling me on Celsius here.
