I would argue that 50 f is closer to ideal than the mid point of any other temperature scale…
Fahrenheit is the best human-focused temperature scale. 0 is super cold, 100 is super hot, 50 is the line between short sleeve and long sleeve weather (assuming no wind). Anything outside these bounds, it simply isn’t worth going outside. But then everyone at a latitude <|37|° will say “that’s not that hot” and everyone at a latitude >|40|° will say “that’s not that cold,” so really it’s the best Kansas-focused temperature scale
“the perfect scale”
Proceeds to list completely arbitrary temperatures and link them to completely subjective opinions
I can make all the same points about celsius with the added bonus of 0 and 100 being universally applicable and objectively measured
- 0 freezing
- 10 cool
- 20 room temperature
- 30 hot
- 40 very hot
Yeah I guess I agree, 0 to 40 makes much more sense in the context of temperatures humans typically exist in than 0 to 100
Look, you’re entitled to your opinion but I think it’s a bit Kansocentric.
“It’s the best scale if you happen to live in the perfect conditions for it”
That last sentence was a largely facetious, poking fun at people who live in areas where it can get colder than 0° in winter or hotter than 100° in summer, who have a habit of telling other people that the extremes aren’t that extreme. In reality the fahrenheit scale is pretty useful the world around, barring deserts
I’m sure it’s useful, but it’s not really any better is what I mean
Most useful, or as some would say, best
We could make it work like that. Just have the thermometer be narrower at the bottom.
That’s going to add a lot to simplicity and ease of understanding, for sure. And don’t change the name of the scale or it will be too easy to distinguish them
Inb4 nonlinear temperature scale
50°C is very hot. 0°C is very cold. 25°C is perfect.
That almost works but 50c is a but quite a bit higher than very hot, 25c is 5c over perfect, and 0c is just regular cold.
I guess temperature relative to comfort level is subjective.
Uh.
50° is fucking perfect.
I love low to mid 50’s. Yes I am white and overweight, no further follow-up questions, please.

50 is pretty nice what are you on about
That’s peak hoodie and jeans weather. Literally perfect.
50s is my perfect outdoor temperature range tbh.
There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant
New Englander born and raised. Thats hoodie and shorts weather. Best time of the year.
As a person from the north, it really is.
Yes
gringo coping.
50f is pretty comfy unless you hate long sleeves or are super sensitive to it being slightly cold.
144 degrees is very hot. 0 is very cold. 72 is perfect. Fixed it.
