I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.

A nice swedish summer evening (if it isnt raining).
Why wasn't I born in Sweden 😭.
That's just about perfect if you ask me.
You mean too rest of the world
You mean to say that 50 °F is (approximately) 283 Kelvin, right? ;P
Shorts weather that one
I'd say 50 is perfect
Between 50 and 63 I'm in heaven. Anything higher than that and all i want to do is go swimming, which as an adult with responsibilities, i never get to. Anything lower than that, and i have to wear more clothes and look fatter than i am.
What the fuck, aren't most buildings kept at 72? How do you exist anywhere except in a walk in fridge?
I never said i got these temperatures. I just said I'm uncomfortable otherwise.
Depends entirely on where you live. Surprising what people will accept as normal when their gas/electric bill is on the line.
Exactly! 👍
Not to defend Fahrenheit, it's a nonsense scale, however: As with most subjective scales the entire scale can be split into good and not good. The top part is good and the bottom part is not good. The middle of the top part is seen as average good.
So around 75 degrees would be perfect, which is close enough for something as subjective as temperature.
This is why in things like movie or game reviews a 7/10 is seen as average. Like it's good, in the good part, but right in the middle not anything special. A 5/10 or lower is seen as not good, not worth seeing, not worth your time etc. This works for reviews, grades, person attractiveness rating etc.
Yet, Temperature is not a nonlinear star-rating by IGN, is it?
Are you saying global warming is actually caused by the bias of IGN reviewers?
The flooding of Amsterdam was really epic, 10/10 IGN
Can you prove that?

75 perfect?
Well at least you have the right attitude the way our climate is headed
There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant
New Englander born and raised. Thats hoodie and shorts weather. Best time of the year.
this meme also works in Celsius.
0°C is not very cold.. chilly at best.
I mean, it's literally freezing.
Yes it is, but that's not very cold.
In a few years, with global warming on the rise, we may be saying that 50C isn't that hot.
FML
Fuck, you're right
Don't impose your imperialistic temperature views on the rest of us! Leave us cold lovers alone!
Fahrenheit is the best human-focused temperature scale. 0 is super cold, 100 is super hot, 50 is the line between short sleeve and long sleeve weather (assuming no wind). Anything outside these bounds, it simply isn't worth going outside. But then everyone at a latitude <|37|° will say "that's not that hot" and everyone at a latitude >|40|° will say "that's not that cold," so really it's the best Kansas-focused temperature scale
"the perfect scale"
Proceeds to list completely arbitrary temperatures and link them to completely subjective opinions
I can make all the same points about celsius with the added bonus of 0 and 100 being universally applicable and objectively measured
- 0 freezing
- 10 cool
- 20 room temperature
- 30 hot
- 40 very hot

Look, you're entitled to your opinion but I think it's a bit Kansocentric.

Inb4 nonlinear temperature scale
We could make it work like that. Just have the thermometer be narrower at the bottom.
That's going to add a lot to simplicity and ease of understanding, for sure. And don't change the name of the scale or it will be too easy to distinguish them
50f is pretty comfy unless you hate long sleeves or are super sensitive to it being slightly cold.
As a person from the north, it really is.
Same for c, but at half the scale tbh. (with a bit of a stretch to the imagination)
50 is very hot. 0 is cold. 25c is perfect.
Yes
if you're a duck
144 degrees is very hot. 0 is very cold. 72 is perfect. Fixed it.
50s is my perfect outdoor temperature range tbh.
Uh.
50° is fucking perfect.
I love low to mid 50's. Yes I am white and overweight, no further follow-up questions, please.
I would argue that 50 f is closer to ideal than the mid point of any other temperature scale...
Interestingly if you take the middle of the freezing point (32F) and 100F, you do get a mildly warm 71. No this does not prove anything, yes I'll still say it.
~~Then if you average THAT with 50, you get 60.5... and you see all three numbers make a triangle. Illuminati confirmed.~~
