    Most people die from heat way before water starts to boil though. And we also don’t freeze solid at 0°C, although it is pretty cold, I’d say that end fits slightly better.

      Unlike water, humans tend to feel temperature differently.

      So it is unreliable to use as a base for anything that requires precision and especially science.

      And it would be pretty dumb to have a completely different system just for every day life.
