There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.
The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.
I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.
But when it comes to weather, the boiling point of water is not a meaningful point of reference.
I suppose I’m biased since I grew up in an area where 0-100°F was roughly the actual temperature range over the course of a year. It was newsworthy when we dropped below zero or rose above 100. It was a scale everybody understood intuitively because it aligned with our lived experience.
And whats the difference by using -22c to 40C? Not a nice ratio? If you grew up with Celsius, you wouldnt never felt something is amiss and just feel just as natural.
Ours is around 10°C to 40°C, or 15°C to 30°C depending upon your tolerances, so I guess that’s it.
