None of them are gramophones, but they do have similarities.
Antikythera Mechanism (c. 2nd Century BC)
The First Device: It is the earliest known complex mechanical analogue device.
Gramophone Analogy: It uses an intricate, hand-cranked system of gears to decode physically "stored" mathematical information into a readable output.
The Hydraulis (Hydraulic Organ) (3rd Century BC)
Gramophone Analogy: Later versions utilized rotating pinned barrels that held pre-coded musical compositions to play songs automatically without human performance.
Hero’s Programmed Cylindrical Automata (1st Century AD)
Gramophone Analogy: They relied on a rotating cylinder wrapped with ropes and pegs to mechanically "record" and playback a sequence of physical actions and acoustic sounds.
Hero’s Automatic Trumpet Alarm (1st Century AD)
Gramophone Analogy: It used a kinetic trigger to instantly convert mechanical energy into a specific, predetermined acoustic playback through a brass horn.
What you are used to is definitely best for you, but I’m talking about the general practicality and usefulness in specific contexts. C in the context of states of water makes sense, and is practical and useful. F in the context of weather makes sense, because 0 to 100 is just normal weather in places with four seasons. In the context of weather, it is both practical and useful. K is practical and useful in pretty much every scientific context.
I grew up in Rochester NY, and there are many days with a zero or subzero windchill. Once it gets below 0°F, it is definitely actively dangerous. I’ve waited for a school bus in 7 to 10°F weather without issues.
For normal weather, 0°F to 100°F is easier to understand than -17°C to 38°C. Just like 0°C for freezing water and 100°C for boiling water is easier to remember. It’s just how our brains work. We like nice round numbers. Plus, there’s a higher fidelity between 0 and 100 than between -17 and 38.
That’s not true. NYC frequently reaches 0°F and is home to 15 million people. All of northern US, and all of Canada frequently reach 0°F. It’s a fact than anything below 0°F is actively dangerous and anything above 100°F is actively dangerous.
In my opinion, Fahrenheit is a much better system for weather. Anything below 0°F and above 100°F is actively dangerous for a person to exist in. Anything in between is just normal weather. For anything scientific, I think K makes more sense than C. To me, C is actually only rarely useful.
Edit, because people seem to be offended by the suggestion that the system they don’t use is more practical in a very specific context:

To say memorizing -17 to 38 vs memorizing 0 to 100 is the same is silly, because 0 and 100 are very meaningful to the human mind. Of course, what you are used to will be what your mind immediately goes to, it does not change the fact that 0°F to 100°F for weather is more understandable, 0°C to 100°C for freezing and boiling water is more understandable, and 0°K being truly no thermal energy with units the same size as C is better for scientific contexts.
I’ve lost 40 lbs so far this year. Every time I feel hungry, I drink a bunch of water and wait awhile to see if I’m still hungry. Almost always, the hunger and cravings disappear in ~15 minutes.

You’d have to do a lot more than that to affect them financially

Loose soldiers?! Where?
Cheese is one of the foods that increases your serotonin levels. It literally makes you happier.
How do I unlock the purple moon DLC?
It doesn’t, but it just at happens that those two arbitrary temperatures are very good lower and upper bounds for safe weather.
8 years ago is not considered recent?
Hair has a way for doing that…

That goes in line with what I was saying. F makes sense for weather, and not much else. C makes sense for states of water, and not much else.
What is easier than “over 100 dangerous; under 0 dangerous”?

No worries. I was just joking around 😝
