If only it was like that

I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.

50 is pretty nice what are you on about

Fahrenheit is like school grades: 60 is minimum tolerance and beyond 100 adds nothing but misery.

I'd say 50 is perfect

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.

Every time someone brings this up, another decade gets added until the US switches to Metric

There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant

this meme also works in Celsius.

If you score 100 on a test then that's a perfect, therefore 100 is the perfect temperature.

Don't impose your imperialistic temperature views on the rest of us! Leave us cold lovers alone!

50 is indeed perfect.

NGL I could be jogging outside at windless 50 degrees everyday. That would be a dream compared to my current life in the hell that is the 47th Latitude Great Plains Region.

Indoor temp? No. Outdoor temp? Yes!

69°F

Inb4 nonlinear 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

Hell yeah, 50 degrees is tee shirt and shorts weather IMHO.

We could make it work like that. Just have the thermometer be narrower at the bottom.

50f is pretty comfy unless you hate long sleeves or are super sensitive to it being slightly cold.

As a person from the north, it really is.

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.

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.

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.

As a Wisconsinite, 50° IS perfect!

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.

50 degrees is perfect for me, t shirt and shorts weather.

Yes

Is a 5/10 average? Or is that 7/10?

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 a duck

So are we saying that Celsius isn't intuitive either? 50C isn't perfect after all.

50 degree Fahrenheit is perfect. Fahrenheit is still retarded though

50 is perfect to me.

144 degrees is very hot. 0 is very cold. 72 is perfect. Fixed it.

10 C sounds pretty good to me

Uh.

50° is fucking perfect.

I love low to mid 50's. Yes I am white and overweight, no further follow-up questions, please.

Related, but how is it that our normal body temperature is just below the point where water boils? That's counterintuitive.

50°C is very hot. 0°C is very cold. 25°C is perfect.

50s is my perfect outdoor temperature range tbh.

I would argue that 50 f is closer to ideal than the mid point of any other temperature scale...

No, it's logarithmic. 70 is perfect.

gringo coping.

It's the perfect temperature for brine though

50F is perfect tho

I love a 50

Is 50% on the heat in the shower perfect?

I had to look it up but the perfect temperature is 23F

and then they just start fucking, in the grass, presumably

My brain rejects the very concept of Fahrenheit. Every American I've met has tried to tell me, "Oh, conversion is easy. All you have to do is grok calculus!" Fuck that noise

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⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Honestly people who insist on using Celsius for their daily lives rather than just for science have way more comfort than me having to deal with fractions of a degree on a regular basis. But I guess that's the point of metric, dealing with precise decimels constantly rather than just having a unit conveniently sized for the thing you're doing.
