If only it was like that
ChicoSuave, Fahrenheit is like school grades: 60 is minimum tolerance and beyond 100 adds nothing but misery.
Potatos_are_not_friends, Hell yeah C’s get degrees while perfect A students tend to burn up in the world
Zehzin, (edited ) 
Anything past 85F adds nothing but misery.
About 30C to the people who use real units
vaultdweller013, Is it bad that this association exists in my mind because of a Kids Next Door joke?
lugal, That’s not how school grades work were I live but I guess I now understand Fahrenheit
joyjoy, With school grades, when you get >100, you get bullied by your peers
Lizardking27, Is a 5/10 average? Or is that 7/10?
SpaceNoodle, 5/7 is perfect
wreckedcarzz, 
with rice
key, 
50s is my perfect outdoor temperature range tbh.
Infynis, 
I’d say 50 is perfect
bmsok, (edited ) I agree in Midwestern as I put on my shorts and tshirt (I’m not fat, BTW… you just sort of get used to those balmy 50° days)
dingus, (edited ) As a former Midwesterner (grew up there and lived there for 26 years), I never got used to the cold so I eventually moved South.
But turns out now I get cold at anything below 70F lol.
Ghostalmedia, 
This guy fats
DragonTypeWyvern, I diagnose you with “weak, non-Finnish blood.”
MindSkipperBro12, Put a coat on, loser
DharmaCurious, 
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.
emeralddawn45, What the fuck, aren’t most buildings kept at 72? How do you exist anywhere except in a walk in fridge?
DharmaCurious, I never said i got these temperatures. I just said I’m uncomfortable otherwise.
doggle, Depends entirely on where you live. Surprising what people will accept as normal when their gas/electric bill is on the line.
aulin, 64-68 °F is fairly standard here. No more than 68. (18-20 °C)
SpaceNoodle, Found the Canadian
0x4E4F, 
Exactly! 👍
AngryishHumanoid, I would argue that 50 f is closer to ideal than the mid point of any other temperature scale…
theodewere, 
if you're a duck
Thorry84, 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.
Norgur, Yet, Temperature is not a nonlinear star-rating by IGN, is it?
Crozekiel, Can you prove that?
Thorry84, Are you saying global warming is actually caused by the bias of IGN reviewers?
Norgur, The flooding of Amsterdam was really epic, 10/10 IGN
doggle, 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.
psud, but that’s not for the overwhelming majority of people.
Surely you’re aware that the overwhelming majority of people do not live in the US. Nearly everyone is fine with Celcius. Billions of people, as opposed to a few hundred million that have been socialised to using the other scale
jenny_ball, 
i appreciate your level headed analysis
GBU_28, (edited ) 75 perfect?
Well at least you have the right attitude the way our climate is headed
cmhickman358,
sharkfucker420, 
50 is pretty nice what are you on about
Theharpyeagle, I don’t touch a jacket until 40, 50 is perfect.
JDubbleu, That’s peak hoodie and jeans weather. Literally perfect.
Telodzrum, Yeah, I’m not going to the beach at 50F, but I can hike, golf, just hang out outdoors, etc. If it’s sunny 50F can even feel rather warm.
xpinchx, Perfect running weather.
thedarkfly, I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.
Valmond, (edited ) A nice swedish summer evening (if it isnt raining).
Edit: cheers my fellow scandinavians and nordics!
0x4E4F, Why wasn’t I born in Sweden 😭.
de_lancre, 
Or a nice winter in the Balkans.
RedIce25, Perfect for me would be more around 20°C
CallumWells, You mean to say that 50 °F is (approximately) 283 Kelvin, right? ;P
0x4E4F, That’s just about perfect if you ask me.
Siegfried, Ah, 10 is fine…
florge, You mean too rest of the world
Nythos, Shorts weather that one
ByteJunk, 
The hero we needed.
MartinXYZ, I checked too before I saw your comment, I can confirm.
Hadriscus, Thanks bro I was about to ask
themeatbridge, Why would 50 be perfect? 50 is fully dressed in regular clothes. You can wear a jacket. You can wear a heavy sweater or a blazer.
droans, If you’re lounging around, 60 is perfect.
If you’re doing work outside, 50 is perfect.
If you’re doing heavy exercise, 40 is perfect.
Maggoty, 50 is indeed perfect.
0x4E4F, And you get the throphy my man 👍👍👍.
RagingHungryPanda, No, it’s logarithmic. 70 is perfect.
littlecolt, Too hot.
funkless_eck, this meme also works in Celsius.
0x4E4F, (edited ) 0°C is not very cold… chilly maybe.
creditCrazy, 
Tbh all I care about with wether temp is wether it’s possible to snow or not. So on that front Celsius is quite intuitive and useful.
0x4E4F, 1 or 2 to about 5°C is snowing temperature. Yes, I agree, quite intuitive.
I like the snow. I like cold, in general. I hate summers, I’m always too hot and sweaty.
Siegfried, 45 is very hot, 0 is very cold, 22.5 is ok
Burninator05, Ok is -273.15 C.
SuddenDownpour, Nice.
snugglesthefalse, 22.5 is about the point where it starts being too warm
Threeme2189, In a few years, with global warming on the rise, we may be saying that 50C isn’t that hot.
FML
zik, We see 50C in Australia from time to time now thanks to global warming.
criitz, Very hot in Celsius is like… 35
XEAL, Fuck, you’re right
moon, Is 50% on the heat in the shower perfect?
