    See how you get 64 extra degrees of precision and nearly all of them are double digit numbers? No downside.

    Except you don’t, because all instrumentation uses celsius, as that is the sensible system. Also to human perception a difference of 1 degree C is already negligible, thinking adding an extra digit has any benefits is lunacy.

      Any response to the rest of my points?

      Source?

        Simple experiment. Hold a pan at 50ºC for a minute, then hold a different pan for a minute at 51ºC. Once you’re done, tell me which burn hurt more, okay? :)

          Hey buddy this is a bit much for a discussion about temperature scales, no? I’m quite shocked by this response tbh, if I knew people were this sensitive about Celsius I would have been more diplomatic in my original comment.

          You’ll never know what it’s like to enjoy a sunny summer day, not a cloud in the sky, with a high of 82. Unlucky.

              How? I’m literally responding to his points and asking for a source and he’s telling me to burn myself. But I have issues. Okay 👍

                I’ll hazard it’s because all your points sound like pseudoscientific nonsense that you basically just pulled out of your arse.

                Dying on that hill doesn’t make you king of the hill. It just makes you a person who chose to die on that hill. Like I said, I won’t stop you. But I will still comment.
