we could use the freezing and boiling points of humans, for a change

Sounds like a great time to propose my system of temperature: Super Celsius. I’ll connect it to the freezing and boiling points of water just like Celsius, but while freezing remains at 0, boiling is now 1000. Get ready for a nice mild day of 250 degrees.

but is that dead or (at least recently) alive humans? for dead humans that’s about the same as just straight up water isn’t it?

Finally, change I can believe in

That’s overboard; You’re fine just multiplying your Celsius by 2.75.

And kelvin is just -273

Lets ditch base10 entirely and use 0(freezing)-216(boiling). that means 0-1000 in base6.

No, we should go back to the ancientBabylonian base-60 system. So a chilly 30°F day would be ⟨⟨⟨°B (B for Babylonian) and a scorching 100°F is ||-°B, or ↓↓→°B if you like. There’s not really a solid way to write cuneiform on a cell phone keyboard.

Kilocelsius

decicelsisus. It would only be 0.1kC when water is boiling. That’s not very fun.

CentiCelsius I think (10 cm in 1 m). kilo would go the other way. love this idea though

I believe it’s DeciCelsius. I don’t know in what system 1 meter contains only 10 centimeters heh.

Haha, i knew kilo was wrong but someone would figure it out. Not sure how i confused myself that badly

Milicelsius = 0.001ºC Kilocelsius = 1000ºC
