Uh... 0C is also real cold. 100C is also real hot.

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

100c would be "end of the world hot"

100f is "warm summer day"

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

100C is "my tea is ready" hot.

100°C is tolerable in a sauna

It's cold enough to be concerned about ice on the road, which is more relevant information than fahrenheit ever provides.

The whole "0 is cold, 100 is hot" argument is just a subjective preference anyway. Having 100 as your "hot" point instead of 38 doesn't provide any actual benefit. It's just a number you're used to.

Buddy if I can go outside in nothing but my underwear to take a swim and shoot my smith & wessons and drink an ice cold miller light then it ain't cold.

-10F is cold, +80F is hot.

0C is "maybe it's time to think about switching from summer shoes to winter shoes; there's better grip on my winter shoes and that's getting relevant today"

Not sure if you know, but 0C is so cold that water freezes. Whoa. 🤯
