    the freezing point was set to the freezing point of brine, not water. doesnt make a lot of sense, but it makes more sense than inches -> feet -> yard -> mile (not to mention league etc.) what the fuck is an inch? who fucking knows, maybe the distance between your knuckles on one of your fingers??? the point is not that farenheit is good, but that the rest of the imperial measurements are even worse

      yeah, I mean some eutectic brine of ice, water, and camel piss salt seems pretty scienticious to me

      if anything, three barleycorns laid end to end might be more sensible lol
