    Lmao I’m so dumb, I was very tired and wrote this in a state of “brain please wake up” limbo.

    Point still stands, just 0 to 100 and -17.777 to -37.778

      Your brain must still be a little tired, because why on earth would you think we would use Fahrenheit’s 0 and 100 as a basis for anything in Celsius?

      I could say the same thing backwards: 0 to 100 C is 32 to 212 F.

      The only reason there aren’t weird decimals there, is because Fahrenheit was later adjusted to have whole numbers at those same (water based) temperatures.
