Sounds like a great time to propose my system of temperature: Super Celsius. I'll connect it to the freezing and boiling points of water just like Celsius, but while freezing remains at 0, boiling is now 1000. Get ready for a nice mild day of 250.

Kilocelsius

CentiCelsius I think (10 cm in 1 m). kilo would go the other way. love this idea though

I believe it's DeciCelsius. I don't know in what system 1 meter contains only 10 centimeters heh, thought it's 100.

[-] Brown5500@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Haha, i knew kilo was wrong but someone would figure it out. Not sure how i confused myself that badly

Centi = 1e-2, deci = 1e-1

Milicelsius = 0.001ºC

Kilocelsius = 1000ºC

we could use the freezing and boiling points of humans, for a change

[-] warbond@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Finally, change I can believe in

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago

but is that dead or (at least recently) alive humans? for dead humans that's about the same as just straight up water isn't it?

Lets ditch base10 entirely and use 0(freezing)-216(boiling). that means 0-1000 in base6.
