  Rating inflation. If someone called you a 5 or 6 out of 10, you’d feel bad. 7/10 is the bottom of acceptability, just like 72° is room temperature.

    That’s the most amount of copium I’ve seen on lemmy so far.

      riddle me this then mr european man (i assume for the context of shitposting)

      would you feel ok with getting half of everything you did being completely wrong, or would you feel ok with only three of those 10 things being completely wrong.

      half is formidable, like you tried, probably. 7/10 is on the way to being good at it though.

        I don’t understand this shitpost question.

  Fahrenheit literally meant to base the scale with 100 being human body temp.

    It literally was not.

      I cited and linked my source from the 18th century when it was redefined. What’s yours?

    I heard circular thermometers were how it was done then so they lined up 180° with 180°.

  As a European I can perfectly feel the 0 degree. I step outside and 5 seconds later I can tell you if it’s below zero or not.

  For me “it’s now really hot” in summer is exactly when it’s over 30C. It being 86F doesn’t make any more sense. Approximately above 35C I will avoid going outside. Which would be 95F, not 100. From here, the temps in summer in the south of Europe are often around 100F at peak. Above or below doesn’t matter.

  All that Fahrenheit scale is good for is if you live in a continental climate, more to the south, e.g. some useless place like Oklahoma, where 0F is approximately year low, and 100F is approximately year high.

  For all other places, where the temperature delta over the course of the year is not as extreme, this Fahrenheit scale is as unintuitive as celcius, e.g. you just get used to it.

    you guys need to stop converting directly between temperatures, you’re right at 86f, bump it up to 90f and woah, suddenly it’s actually a nice round number.

    You’re too conversion pilled to realize that the human experience isn’t fundamentally objectively representative. 1 degree celsius isn’t super noticeable, just like 5 degrees fahrenheit isn’t super noticeable either.

  otherwise 50° would be perfect temperature.

  I love it when it’s 50ish out and sunny. You don’t get all sweaty, plus you can wear cozy socks and sweaters or just go out in short sleeves and both are perfectly fine. The bugs all start going into hiding at that temperature but the grass and leaves are still green

  50F is the perfect temperature.

  • VitaminF@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    That’s 10°C for those who want to judge you. And you’re wrong, the perfect temperature is 17°C. Not too cold, not too hot.

    The correct rebuttal is that 69 degrees is ideal ambient temperature.

  Fahrenheit isn’t how people feel, otherwise 50° would be perfect temperature.

  it is though? It’s like perfectly comfortable because you can dress up just enough to where you’re actually wearing a decent bit of clothing, but you can also dress down to a pretty light set of clothing as well.

  This is also ignoring that this is both, arbitrary, and also completely subjective to the person.

  The human body might end up liking 70f more than 50f, purely because it’s 96f inside the body, so something lower to allow heat transfer, but not low enough to be physically uncomfortable would be more expected.

  Actually, here’s a good question, why do you land on the 50f point? Are you expecting the middle to be the most optimal point of perfection? Or is this just a metric brain thing?

  50 degrees is a damn good temperature. I won’t stand here and let you besmirch 50 degrees.

  Its not the “perfect” temperature but what temp in celcius is “perfect”? What a ridiculously proposition that there’s a perfect temperature.
