As a Wisconsinite, 50° IS perfect!
as a minnesotan 50° is pretty fuckin warm in this months
Fahrenheit is like school grades: 60 is minimum tolerance and beyond 100 adds nothing but misery.
Hell yeah C’s get degrees while perfect A students tend to burn up in the world
That’s not how school grades work were I live but I guess I now understand Fahrenheit
With school grades, when you get >100, you get bullied by your peers
Anything past 85F adds nothing but misery.
About 30C to the people who use real units
Is it bad that this association exists in my mind because of a Kids Next Door joke?
I’d say 50 is perfect
Found the Canadian
This guy fats
I diagnose you with “weak, non-Finnish blood.”
Exactly! 👍
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)
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.
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.
64-68 °F is fairly standard here. No more than 68. (18-20 °C)
They work 24h shifts maintaining a walk in fridge.
Believe it or not, i did used to work in a walk in fridge, and the shifts typically ran 16 hours, but 24 wasn’t unheard of.
Is a 5/10 average? Or is that 7/10?
5/7 is perfect
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.
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.
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
Can you prove that?
i appreciate your level headed analysis
75 perfect?
Well at least you have the right attitude the way our climate is headed
50 is pretty nice what are you on about
That’s peak hoodie and jeans weather. Literally perfect.
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.
Perfect running weather.
I don’t touch a jacket until 40, 50 is perfect.
I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.
Perfect for me would be more around 20°C
Ah, 10 is fine…
I checked too before I saw your comment, I can confirm.
You mean too rest of the world
The hero we needed.
You mean to say that 50 °F is (approximately) 283 Kelvin, right? ;P
Shorts weather that one
That’s just about perfect if you ask me.
A nice swedish summer evening (if it isnt raining).
Edit: cheers my fellow scandinavians and nordics!
Why wasn’t I born in Sweden 😭.
Or a nice winter in the Balkans.
Thanks bro I was about to ask
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.
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.
50 is indeed perfect.
And you get the throphy my man 👍👍👍.
this meme also works in Celsius.
Fuck, you’re right
0°C is not very cold… chilly maybe.

Depending on where you live, going below freezing, even down towards 0F (-18C), is common. I’d say things don’t go into “too cold to go out” territory until the single digits for me.
Yes it is, but that’s not very cold.
It is actually, literally freezing, then again temperature feeling is a bit relative. Anything under 20 is chilly to me.
It can be much more freezing than that.
People have no idea what -25°C feels like…
-40°C and -40°F is where I take the kiddos outside with a cup of boiling water and let them make snow.
lol 🤣
I was on holiday at Disneyland Paris at 14 in December or January one year and it was -14/15 °C and it was the coldest place I’ve been and it definitely felt like it. I’m from Ireland for reference so winters are pretty mild here.
It was -28°C the night I was born, 1st of February. People around here don’t remember a winter as cold as that one.
Maybe that’s why I like the cold, IDK.

That is true. Would like to experience that one day, I was thinking of moving to Alaska or Canada in the not so distant future, somewhere very cold.
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.
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.
Very hot in Celsius is like… in the 30s. At 100C you’d be dead.
45 is very hot, 0 is very cold, 22.5 is ok
Ok is -273.15 C.
Nice.
22.5 is about the point where it starts being too warm
We see 50C in Australia from time to time now thanks to global warming.
In a few years, with global warming on the rise, we may be saying that 50C isn’t that hot.
FML
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.
Hello, you, who walks the fiery path. I much prefer my 18, thanks.
Move to Saskatchewan if you want hell both ways, summers in the 40s and winters in the -50s. YAY
25c is literally cock and ball torture what are ya on about. Then again I’m an Irish guy who hasn’t left my country in nearly a decade so I don’t even know what more than 25c feels like
I’m Brazilian and, although I’m not in the hottest area, summer easily hits 40°C, so yeah, 25°C is not perfect, that would be 20°C, but is pretty good still
It was 30c at midnight here last night
Same here in QLD, Australia
I’m Canadian and I agree. 25 c is the edge of what’s bearable but closer to 20 c is better.
As an Australian enjoying summer right now I honestly think it’s a bit chilly on days we don’t get to 25C.
25°C is 77°F; context for any Americans here.
I love how half this thread is solely comments making unit conversions.
Also 77°F/25°C is pretty mild. A crisp mid-spring day. -American Southerner
Yeah 25°C is nothing. A bit on the cool side tbh.
15-20 °C is ideal for me. Above 22-23 it starts being too warm. Below 10 I have to start wearing a sweater, which I dislike.
Don’t impose your imperialistic temperature views on the rest of us! Leave us cold lovers alone!
50s is my perfect outdoor temperature range tbh.
