    Yeah, I get your point. I think I’m just trying to explain that it all just matters where you grew up and what you used. I go outside today and I do say it feels like a 12 degree day. It’s not that much different.

    I must admit, the oven temps are nice, but they are a product of being written in Fahrenheit (if they were written in celcius, it would be round too, like 150c, 160c, 170c, 175c, etc)

    But the more I look at it the more I see it’s all just numbers. We put importance to these numbers but they’re all pretty arbitrary, except celcius using 0 as the freezing point for water and 100 as the boiling point- these are two very important measures that are just weird for Fahrenheit.

    I wanna say that with this logic 50 should be right around the most comfortable temp… But for most people it’s closer to 70.

    I’ll try to explain how easily mappable Celsius is to people as well.

    -40 to +40… -40 being extremely cold, and +40 being extremely hot. 21c is the equivalent of 70f.

    It’s all the same stuff. Just matters what you’re used to.
