What? Humans care a whole lot about the temperature at which both those things happen.

Explain how

When I go outside in the morning, I know if road conditions are dangerous based on the freezing point of temperature.

You're getting a false sense of security. Do you think -1C = dangerous and 1C = safe or something?

When I cook something, the boiling point of water is something I can easily recognise just by looking, which allows me to use temperatures around and below it for many purposes.

Wtf? Explain how

Explain how

You mean the way I did in the parts you quoted after writing this?

You're getting a false sense of security. Do you think -1C = dangerous and 1C = safe or something?

No? Did I write that? I know the freezing point of water, so I know when I have to be careful. That's not strictly at the freezing point of water, but it is around that.

Wtf? Explain how

You should try to write actual questions, because I'm not sure what you're confused about. Say I want to water around 80-90°C - I heat water to boiling and then wait a bit. What's so difficult?
