Interestingly if you take the middle of the freezing point (32F) and 100F, you do get a mildly warm 71. No this does not prove anything, yes I'll still say it.

~~Then if you average THAT with 50, you get 60.5... and you see all three numbers make a triangle. Illuminati confirmed.~~

As a person from the north, it really is.

I've lived in 3 different countries in like 5 different climate zones and none of them had temperatures that fit nicely in the 0-100⁰F range.

50 degree Fahrenheit is perfect. Fahrenheit is still retarded though

50 is great for just a light jacket and jeans. You'll never get too hot, you won't get too cold. So, yeah, as long as you've got clothes on it's pretty perfect.

If I want to wear less clothes then 70 is a good bit better, but 50 is damn comfortable.

Fahrenheit is based on how the human body tells temperature and I'll die on that hill.

Celsius is for water and Kelvin is for molecules.

Using Celsius or Kelvin for scientific measurement makes sense.

Using fahrenheit for the average person just checking the atmospheric temperature makes sense.

You can use different scales for different things ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

No it's not.

What makes 0°F (-17,7°C) special for a human body? Is it the limit after which we don't feel any colder? No.

And what makes 100°F (37,7°C) special? Maybe we can't feel any hotter? No, we can. Is it the body temperature? No. What is it?

Maybe 50°F (10°C) is perfect? Nah, cold!

If we change 0°F to, say, 0°C and 100°F to 40°C, does it change the notion that 0°F is very cold for a human body and that 100°F is very hot? No, and as a bonus you get 50°F equaling that perfect 20°C.

Fahrenheit scale is super arbitrary and it's hilarious when it is posed as a "human-centric" scale. At the same time, the concept of Fahrenheit scale is unnecessarily complicated and the notion between Celsius is extremely clear - you can easily calibrate Celsius thermometer with nothing but kettle and freezer, right at home, right now.

Also,

  • Sub-zero Celsius = very cold, snow doesn't melt, ice doesn't melt
  • 0 Celsius = cold, ice gets slippery
  • 10 Celsius = jacket weather
  • 20 Celsius = comfy
  • 30 Celsius = hot
  • 40 Celsius = scorching
  • Above 40 Celsius = deadly, leave the area ASAP (short exposures like sauna don't count). Also, fans stop cooling you down and now heat you up instead.

Simple enough.

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.
