This holds true in the kitchen too. Don't let your good olive oil go rancid while you wait for the right time to use it

If you're concerned with maintaining ratios, volume isn't going to be very precise when one of your ingredients is compressible (flour) and another isn't (water). That said, the ratios used in baking are often less sensitive than people like to insist they are. Before we had recipes insisting you need to measure your flour down to the milligram, people learned how much flour to add by learning how wet/sticky/elastic the dough is supposed to feel when working it. Bakers learned by trial and error how wetter or drier doughs behave and how to get a preferred result, and then passed that knowledge on to their apprentices.

Everybody knows a string has 0 mass and air resistance is negligible, it's basic physics!

The thing that makes any unit useful is being an agreed upon standard, which is true of both F and C. the "feel right" part is just how it got there. When Celsius stuck a thermometer in freezing water and marked its position, he called that 100 degrees based on vibes. Later on, a french academic decided that actually freezing should be 0 and boiling should be 100, and that decision was based on vibes. Why is it any different when Farenheit made a vibes based decision to put 0 in a different spot than celsius?

If you take issue with defining units based on vibes i have terrible news about the second, the meter, and the kilogram. Basically any unit is arbitrary until it becomes a standard

And celsius fully ignores the effect pressure has on the boiling/melting point of water. Turns out temperature units only measure temperature

Farenheit is set up such that temperatures between 0 and 100 convey the subjective feel. 0F is really cold, 100F is really hot. Obviously cold and hot feel is subjective, but what could be more human than subjectivity?

"Highway Hypnosis" is a well documented phenomenon. Your body is essentially autopiloting the drive. It most commonly happens when you're driving a route you're familiar with, like a commute.

Technically what you made very well could still be "Pesto", since the word refers to how it's prepared not what's in it (shares the same root as Pestle). The basil, pine nut, olive oil, and cheese recipe you were following would be Pesto alla Genovese
