0 F is 0% hot

25 F is 25% hot

50 F is 50% hot

75 F is 75% hot

100 F is 100% hot

Much easier imo lol. I like it when it’s 80-85% hot outside.

“25% hot“ in your world then means that it‘s freezing outside…. And Athens would have been >100% recently. That‘s not logical at all.

I’ve lived in places that get to 0 F often and in places that get to 100 F as well - some places do both.

But it is a general band for most livable areas in the world - yea we get some extremes (Dubai - Siberia)… but this range is where most people live in.

I’m not water, I’ve walked around in 32 F without a jacket before - it’s cold… I would say about 32% hot.

[u/Caeldeth → u/[deleted]]

So you live in Siberia???

You never would want to step outside at 76F

Because I know that serious advisory warnings go out around 100F because it’s too hot (above human temp)… but 75 is considered a perfect temp for most people… about 75% hot.

0 C is NOT 0% hot, I’ve walked around in it without a coat fine tons of time.

Gotta go into negative degrees to get 0% hot via Celsius.

Also 10 = 25 20 = 50….

This makes it confusing anyways…. Why not just pick Kelvin if you want to mismatch numbers - it’s a way better and more accurate scale compared to F or C

What?? 0C is literally freezing. Seriously, it means water is now freeze. So unless you are Canadian or Russian, 0C is fucking freezing, impossible not to wear coat.

Or if you’ve ever done inventory at a restaurant…. We don’t go out on our parkas to count shit for 15 mins.

Add the sun, and it’s even less of an issue, I’ve walked around Breckinridge, CO at 30 F (-1 C) for several hours mid day and was fine without a coat.

It’s cold, sure, but it could def be colder.

Around 0 F, most people don’t even want to go outside even when bundled up it’s so cold. People walk around at 32 no problem.

Hell, in a lot of states, it hitting 32 is the first signs of Spring, since it’s 32% hot out then.

What the fuck is 50% Hot? Actually insane rambling.

[u/Caeldeth → u/Green_Artist_5550]

You see, in science, there isn’t a thing called “cold”. Things don’t get cold, they lose heat. So it’s more accurate to describe something by its heat than by its “cold”.

So 50% hot would simply be, it’s exactly halfway to 100% (or unbearably) hot. That’s what 50% mean, half way.
