Humans care about the fact that water boils or freezes. Not the temperature at which it happens

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

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

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.

Explain how

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

Wtf? Explain how

Explain how

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

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?
