-40% hot, that's pretty damn cold!

0% hot = 100% cold

so

-40% hot = 140% cold ❄️

that's when the two scales collide...

-40FC...

'fucking cold'

funnily, the same as -40 C

Humans shouldn't exist in zones outside 0-100

Because I can still walk to the mailbox in shorts at 32

We need a new scale where 0 is 0K and 100 is the temperature of the big bang.

and doesn't exist, which is fun

Technically, 1000 beats per day - but yes, Swatch tried this back in ‘99:

Honestly it's not the worst idea, the french have tried something like that during one of their revolutions.

Semi-relatedly, I'm salty they didn't push for duodecimal numbers and base metric on that, it would incorporate the only good part of imperial system & 12-based time system, not only into measurements but also all other aspects of life.

Then they could make time more consistent too, maybe have like 10000 (20736 in decimal) "metric seconds" in a day (which would mean 1 "metric second" ≈ 4 "normal" seconds) and derive stuff from there (e.g. 100 "metric seconds" in a "metric minute", 10 "metric minutes" in a "metric hour", 10 "metric hours" in a "metric day"). Would be really quite neat.

No they're relating average earth temperature/weather to a centigrade scale, instead of relating liquid water to one.

I might catch flak for this, but I understand Fahrenheit made a ton of sense of an illiterate bygone era (well, I guess coming back maybe)

The vast majority of people were uneducated. Decimals were a non-starter, maybe negatives were also difficult?

0-100 was very easy. Under 0? Don't go outside if possible. Over 100? Don't go outside if possible. >50/halfway? Time for a coat. Having the same scale from -15 to 40 might have been confusing and not centered for them?

No, but seriously, babe, the whole Imperial system gets a bad rap...

People are mostly water, no? Makes perfect sense then.

Got 'em.

Oh baby, you certainly are

Scared to reach your full potential, eh?

That depends, can I milk you?

Technically, you're a 9.8/10. But I can round it up to 10/10 ;)

37 isn't really hot yet. It's warm. It's around 50 degrees when it starts feeling too hot to touch.

The % is for humans not water. Anything over 100 is too hot.

all of the hot everywhere or just in this room?

You must be far north I live in the middle of Sweden, haven't seen temperatures like that in years.

This is a really bad representation lmao, you're giving an example of Finland in like mid winter comparing it to the reaction of someone who literally never sees winter. My state has had around -30°c for the last 2 weeks, been chilling, I've definitely preferred when it's been getting closer to -20 to -10 which has been funny, actually enjoying temperatures under freezing, but I don't get what your comments trying to say. It's not like Finland is that temperature all year lol, the climate of my city is surprisingly similar to a lot of Finland and I gotta say being in the cold still sucks.

See you tomorrow champ

My eye is twitching just reading this. I wonder how I survived 110 percent hot days.

I worked retail for a decade. There is no bottom to the barrel. There are people driving around in cars who genuinely shouldn't be left unsupervised with metal utensils.
