Same for c, but at half the scale tbh. (with a bit of a stretch to the imagination)
50 is very hot. 0 is cold. 25c is perfect.
I’d say 50 is perfect
Exactly! 👍
Between 50 and 63 I’m in heaven. Anything higher than that and all i want to do is go swimming, which as an adult with responsibilities, i never get to. Anything lower than that, and i have to wear more clothes and look fatter than i am.
What the fuck, aren’t most buildings kept at 72? How do you exist anywhere except in a walk in fridge?
Depends entirely on where you live. Surprising what people will accept as normal when their gas/electric bill is on the line.
I never said i got these temperatures. I just said I’m uncomfortable otherwise.
if you’re a duck
Not to defend Fahrenheit, it’s a nonsense scale, however: As with most subjective scales the entire scale can be split into good and not good. The top part is good and the bottom part is not good. The middle of the top part is seen as average good.
So around 75 degrees would be perfect, which is close enough for something as subjective as temperature.
This is why in things like movie or game reviews a 7/10 is seen as average. Like it’s good, in the good part, but right in the middle not anything special. A 5/10 or lower is seen as not good, not worth seeing, not worth your time etc. This works for reviews, grades, person attractiveness rating etc.
75 perfect?
Well at least you have the right attitude the way our climate is headed
Yet, Temperature is not a nonlinear star-rating by IGN, is it?
Are you saying global warming is actually caused by the bias of IGN reviewers?
The flooding of Amsterdam was really epic, 10/10 IGN
Why not? Most people only meaningfully engage with temperature scales when checking weather forecasts. It’s all pretty subjective.
If course there’s a need for Celsius or Kelvin in scientific applications, but that’s not for the overwhelming majority of people.
Can you prove that?
50 is pretty nice what are you on about
That’s peak hoodie and jeans weather. Literally perfect.
I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.
That’s just about perfect if you ask me.
You mean too rest of the world
Shorts weather that one
A nice swedish summer evening (if it isnt raining).
Why wasn’t I born in Sweden 😭.
You mean to say that 50 °F is (approximately) 283 Kelvin, right? ;P
this meme also works in Celsius.
0°C is not very cold… chilly at best.
I mean, it’s literally freezing.
Yes it is, but that’s not very cold.
In a few years, with global warming on the rise, we may be saying that 50C isn’t that hot.
FML
Fuck, you’re right
My brain rejects the very concept of Fahrenheit. Every American I’ve met has tried to tell me, “Oh, conversion is easy. All you have to do is grok calculus!” Fuck that noise
Don’t impose your imperialistic temperature views on the rest of us! Leave us cold lovers alone!
We could make it work like that. Just have the thermometer be narrower at the bottom.
That’s going to add a lot to simplicity and ease of understanding, for sure. And don’t change the name of the scale or it will be too easy to distinguish them
Fahrenheit is the best human-focused temperature scale. 0 is super cold, 100 is super hot, 50 is the line between short sleeve and long sleeve weather (assuming no wind). Anything outside these bounds, it simply isn’t worth going outside. But then everyone at a latitude <|37|° will say “that’s not that hot” and everyone at a latitude >|40|° will say “that’s not that cold,” so really it’s the best Kansas-focused temperature scale
“the perfect scale”
Proceeds to list completely arbitrary temperatures and link them to completely subjective opinions
I can make all the same points about celsius with the added bonus of 0 and 100 being universally applicable and objectively measured
- 0 freezing
- 10 cool
- 20 room temperature
- 30 hot
- 40 very hot
Yeah I guess I agree, 0 to 40 makes much more sense in the context of temperatures humans typically exist in than 0 to 100
Look, you’re entitled to your opinion but I think it’s a bit Kansocentric.
“It’s the best scale if you happen to live in the perfect conditions for it”
That last sentence was a largely facetious, poking fun at people who live in areas where it can get colder than 0° in winter or hotter than 100° in summer, who have a habit of telling other people that the extremes aren’t that extreme. In reality the fahrenheit scale is pretty useful the world around, barring deserts
I’m sure it’s useful, but it’s not really any better is what I mean
Most useful, or as some would say, best
Inb4 nonlinear temperature scale
50s is my perfect outdoor temperature range tbh.
There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant
New Englander born and raised. Thats hoodie and shorts weather. Best time of the year.
