The Réaumur scale (French pronunciation: [ʁeomy(ː)ʁ]; °Ré, °Re, °r), also known as the "octogesimal division",[1] is a temperature scale for which the melting and boiling points of water are defined as 0 and 80 degrees respectively.

80 degrees is not the boiling temperature of water everywhere due to pressure differences. This means it doesn't have it's "superior" meaning everywhere.

It's usually defined at sea level

I don't live at sea level. Why is it superior at my location? 😊 I'm not convinced

Edit: appearantly it was a joke
