    Fahrenheit is what that one German town’s lowest air temperature measured back in 1708.

    If fahrenheit was what humans felt, then 50° would be room temperature.

      This isn’t the case, because humans can handle significantly larger deviations from “comfortable” on the cold side than the hot side, so again Fahrenheit gets it pretty much right.
