Except 100 C isn’t the boiling point, it’s 99.97 C, and that is only accurate if you define in an arbitrary pressure of 1 bar, which is defined as “Do not use” and was eventually stuffed into a measurement as dumb as the mile: 101325 Pa.
That’s true. Fahrenheit is just as flawed. It was originally created so 0° was the freezing temperature of brine (an inconsistent solution) and 100° as the average internal human body temperature (actually 98.6°).
