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.

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

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

    No, we should go back to the ancientBabylonian base-60 system. So a chilly 30°F day would be ⟨⟨⟨°B (B for Babylonian) and a scorching 100°F is ||-°B, or ↓↓→°B if you like. There's not really a solid way to write cuneiform on a cell phone keyboard.
