wtf is celcius?

The more current (and better) way of measuring temperature. And it's way easier to understand. 0 degrees celcius is freezing point. 100 degrees celcius is boiling point.

Very easy to understand compared to

32F freezing point and 212F boiling point. Fahrenheit is just confusing and needs to be updated to the current measuring system. Kinda like miles and kilometers or Gallons and Litres.

I mean honestly:

1 mile = 1,609.344 metres
1 kilometre = 1000 metres

1 Gallon = 3.78541178 litres
1 Litre = 1 litre

You see, the current measuring system is much more easier to understand and is just....well....better. I believe Neeyik once quoted that the countries that still use miles, gallons etc etc are slow to transfer. In fact miles has been completely obliterated from Australian maths and language, we no longer use it at all.

EDIT: I will not deny the fact that 'miles' sounds way cooler then kilometres.

EDIT2: Also, a rather stupid question since I have never experienced snow before, but when it heats up wouldn't the amount of water over flow the drains, I know when it rains heavily here the drains over flow. Or is the melting process very slow?
