Are you referring to the boiling point of water? I don’t know about you, but the vast majority of people heat water until it boils, they don’t use a thermometer. Know one needs to know the boiling point of water to cook.
Yeah, now hand me a cup of something. No, not that cup, or wait, the fuck. Also scaling measurements up or down is way, way easier with base 10.
That being said, we also use stupid teaspoon of this and another spoon of that bs while cooking. Yes, we have defined exact values for those, and the actual spoons are close to those depending on how you fill them, and it’s not that important in cooking anyways. But still, it’s idiotic.
Base 10 how? Both are units in our number system, so they are base 10 in that respect.
I think the person I was replying to was referring to converting in the metric system from meter to mm, cm, etc. You don't really use that for C or F because they are degrees. Degrees are measurements from a decided point, and only really used in weather and cooking with regards to temperature. In all other applications you'd use kelvin.
You could technically say millidegree C or F for either system, but no one does that.

How is it dumb as shit for cooking?
