You can think of F as a “% hot” measurement for weather.

0 = no heat: getting dangerously cold for humans. 50 = half hot, half cold: wear long pants and a jacket. 75 = three quarters hot, getting close to t shirt weather. 100= fully hot: getting dangerous for humans.

Yes you can go over or under, but you can consider those to be extreme weather (120% hot!)

C is a measurement for water.

75 is only close to tshirt weather?

Acclimatization is a whole thing. I remember thinking 65F / 18C was cold once upon a time, then I moved north and now only bother putting on a jacket if it's below 40F / 5C or so (but now I start seriously suffering above 85F / 30 C where that used to be my ideal temp).

People who pretend certain temps are objectively not that cold or hot have never moved from one climate to another, I think. The person you replied to must be from a hot area.
