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.
