    because celcius is about how aater feels, faranheit is about how you feel and kelvin is about how atoms feel

        Water has different boiling and freezing temperatures depending on salinity, alcohol content, and atmospheric pressure.

        The 0 is freezing 100 is boiling is a good rough estimate but it’s not a universal law.

          and how many differences do people have? give me universal law on how cold or hot person feels.

            Beyond 100F you have a fever.

            I’m no proponent for the American system but that’s a decent point of reference.

            0F though? No idea.

        Water is not subjective? Interesting? So water will freeze exactly at 0 and boil at 100, and it won’t matter about say pressure? Or whats in the water, like say salt? And pretty sure I’ve seen videos and done it myself where you bring pure water below 0 and it doesn’t freeze. Suppose this video is just fake then? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Nse-LUpVQu8

        Seems water is a tad bit subjective. Like the rules for when it freezes and boils is… not exactly constant. I mean, they are, under ideal conditions on Earth. But… ya know, that sort of goes against the circlejerk…

          i’m quite sure average person doesnt have to deal with pressure differences, salinity, distilled water and such daily to such extent it makes water bad reference point, at least considering how we are basically made from water and life here is based on water.
