I wish USA would go metric so I could instinctively understand what 45⁰C is without consulting a conversion calculator. I'm guessing 45⁰C is 90-100F? BRB lemme verify ... Oh jeez it's 113⁰F! 🔥

    What I did, was I just switched my phone's weather app to Celsius and spent a year walking outside to work. It rewires your sense of temperature.

    Yeah, F is just more accurate. I know you can use decimals, but I never see anyone post C temps as 20.2. It's 20 or it's 21, which is anywhere from 68-69.8F, expressed as 70. We've got a whole extra degree in there!

    People round out time all the time, why is that different. C is more accurate, people round out of convenience. How accurate to a tenth of degree is almost never relevant. A cloud moves in front of the sun and you feel it change... so you ballpark it.
