Nice vid. He isn't wrong. Though maybe we could come up with a compromise temperature scale for everyone to use. Even 100 F isn't as uncommon as it used to be. But I would love to have more granularity without decimals.

41° is "mild" to me as a Celsius user only because my country is too fucking hot in the first place.

I'm gonna be honest. I love Celsius for the the whole perfect math reasons with calories and water based measurement...

But the curve on temps is a pain when all the nice temperatures require using a decimal place to decide just how slightly above or below pleasant it is but cold is basically everything from 16°C to -30°C And then decimals really matter when hotter than pleasant temps.

Whole rounded integers are just so vastly different depending how high or low you are in Celsius.
