Americans definitely love their larger 1/4 lb’ers over the smaller European 1/3 lb patties (lemmy.world)

I've always explained °Fwith:

0° = Cold AF

100° = Hot AF

50° = Chilly, but manageable

I heard they have A1 steak sauce in schools, for teaching.

For Celsius

0º - water becomes solid - it's cold

25º - water is refreshing - ideal temperature

50º - water is scalding - dangerous

100º - water is boiling - guaranteed serious injure territory from this point forward

And, since nobody seems to reach an agreement...

For Kelvin

0º - matter has ceased to move; collapse of matter and reality as we understand it - it's cold

273.15º - water is remains solid - still cold

298.15º - water is a fluid, drinkable, safe to enter - ideal temperature

323.15º - water is capable of delivering serious injuries upon contact - dangerous

373.15º - water is passing into vapour form at high rythm - avoid proximity and all contact from this point forward

FYI: Kelvin doesn't use the degree symbol. It's not degrees Kelvin, just Kelvin.

I'll leave as a testimony of my idiocy. May those seeking to demonstrate my ineptitude never lack evidence.

Nah, it's not widely known. Multiple teachers in school got it wrong.

25º - water is refreshing

Get the fuck out of here with your miserable warm water, water is refreshing between 3° and 10°C.

You want to take a swim in water at that temperature? Be my guest. And drinking water that cold? I don't my teeth enamel redone.

If I want to be refreshed, yeah. Also, unless it's scalding hot it shouldn't damage teeth - you might want to look into the content of your water rather than it's temperature if it's damaging your tooth enamel.

There is no battery acid in it, I can assure you.

This is not the explanation you think it is, over there.

So I take it 50°F is the ideal temperature for humans, since it's halfway between cold and hot?
