    I get your point “but because I was brought up with this system I’m going to make an argument as why it makes sense to me”

    25 Celsius is a nice summer day

    0 Celsius you better take a jacket and it’s probably going to snow

    43 Celsius damn hot

    60-80 Celsius a very nice sauna

    It’s not that hard burgerman

        Once upon a time I was going trough some hardships, sometimes I couldn’t afford a meal, I’m not proud to admit that one time I took paper towels, wet them in a bowl and eat them, and you know what? Still had more flavor than br**ish food.
