“Standards for the exact length of an inch have varied in the past, but since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s the inch has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 25.4 mm.”

Human comfort is more generally relevant that the freezing and boiling points of water. In weather, 0F is f’ing cold and 100F is f’ing hot.
same in celsius, 0 is damn cold and 100 is damn hot
I wouldnt describe 0 Celsius as “fucking cold” where im from cause it gets so much wors but ill give you 100 Celsius
That’s why they’ve invented negative numbers
LOL. REEEEEEALLY damned hot!
Not for a Finn. 🤣
Yeah, I agree, it’s a human scale made by humans for humans. 100°F will be hot for me whether I’m on Earth or Mars, but 0°C/100°C is only the freezing/boiling point of water on Earth.
I think the optimal solution is to use Kelvin for scientific purposes and Fahrenheit for everyday use, but that’s just the American speaking in me.
