Humidity. I’m guessing you don’t live in a humid place because freezing temps are horrifically cold here. You will need a winter coat and multiple layers of your going to be outside for a while. I layer long Johns under my pants and wear my parka and a light jacket as well as 2 layers of socks. Everytime a northerner comes here they are shocked at the cold/heat. That’s because the air here is full of water to the point that you will actually get wet just from the humidity, not even sweating.

Freezing temps here are definitely considered very cold. Cold enough that you need multiple layers and you should be wrapping your pipes to prevent freezing. It’s very humid here. Our freezing is insanely cold. Like chills you to your bones cold. Our hot here is insanely hot as well.

Here 70F is perfect weather. For reference we set our a/c at 68 at night and it’s literally freezing cold if you walk though in your underwear. Any hotter and you’ll need to start dressing in lighter stuff. Any colder and you might wanna wear a flannel. Hell my house stays at 72 all day and it’s perfect.

I work outside in the Texas sun. 100F is unsurvivable without regular water intake and regular breaks. That would literally define it as unsafe without counter measures. You’re talking about walking to your car. We’re talking about actually being in it. Like playing a sport or fishing. 110 here means you can only work in short 15-20 minute bursts. 100 and you’re sweating so profusely your entire shirt Is soaked. At 90 it’s warm and a little toasty. At 80 it feels pretty good out. At 70 is literally the perfect temperature. 60 starts to get a bit on the chill side. 50 is light jacket weather. 40 is heavier jacket weather. 30 is a winter coat and multiple layers. Works just fine for us. If you don’t like it then don’t use it. I don’t even know why this argument is so prevalent. It’s not complicated like y’all would like everyone to believe.

“the original paper suggests the lower defining point, 0 °F, was established as the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride (a salt).[2][3] The other limit established was his best estimate of the average human body temperature, originally set at 90 °F, then 96 °F (about 2.6 °F less than the modern value due to a later redefinition of the scale).”
That’s from your link. Seems like the guy you responded to was correct or the wiki isn’t.

No one said it represents “100%”, whatever that is even supposed to mean. 100F is really hot outside. 0 F is really cold. Doesn’t have to make 100% sense. Celsius doesn’t make perfect sense either. There is no perfect magical scale that works completely.
