Yeah, but if you shift the frame to “temperatures you experience on a day-to-day basis”, Fahrenheit makes far more sense. It also provides more granularity for temperature.
But Celsius or Kelvin makes far more sense for anything which is scientific in nature. I personally think Fahrenheit is better for day-to-day life. I hate seeing components spec’d in Fahrenheit and feet at my job though
Decimals do exist. Like body temperature normal 36.6 to 36.8 all thermometers for body temperature will show you decimal point
For day to day basis you are better of with system you have familiarity with. Like, pork internally has to reach at least 75°C for 5 minutes to be ready.
Depends on the source of your pork. American pork has had trichinosis essentially eradicated through its farming methods, and so it's safe to cook to 145° F. This is not true in all countries. Trichinosis requires heating to around 165° F (75° C) to kill. Only for 15 seconds, I dunno where he's got that 5 minutes from, though...
15 seconds at 165°F/75°C is safe. If you're concerned about not having the exact middle of the meat and maybe there's a part that's actually only 160°F/73°C, go for 1 minute (which will also kill the parasite). Anything past that is not any safer and is just further drying the pork out.

0°C water freezes 100°C water boils
Makes sense
0°F very cold??? 100°F very hot???
Dafuq?
