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.
Kilocelsius
decicelsisus. It would only be 0.1kC when water is boiling. That's not very fun.
Milicelsius = 0.001ºC
Kilocelsius = 1000ºC
I’m kilosweating
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, thought it's 100.
Haha, i knew kilo was wrong but someone would figure it out. Not sure how i confused myself that badly
Centi = 1e-2, deci = 1e-1

we could use the freezing and boiling points of humans, for a change
Finally, change I can believe in
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?
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.
