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).

Edit: cheers my fellow scandinavians and nordics!

That's just about perfect if you ask me.

[-] florge@feddit.uk 35 points 10 months ago

You mean too rest of the world

[-] RedIce25@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

Perfect for me would be more around 20°C

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

50 is pretty nice what are you on about

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 55 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I'm not going to the beach at 50F, but I can hike, golf, just hang out outdoors, etc. If it's sunny 50F can even feel rather warm.

[-] xpinchx@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Perfect running weather.

Fahrenheit is like school grades: 60 is minimum tolerance and beyond 100 adds nothing but misery.

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 45 points 10 months ago

That's not how school grades work were I live but I guess I now understand Fahrenheit

Anything past 85F adds nothing but misery.

About 30C to the people who use real units

There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant

Every time someone brings this up, another decade gets added until the US switches to Metric

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.

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 28 points 10 months ago

Yet, Temperature is not a nonlinear star-rating by IGN, is it?

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 19 points 10 months ago

Are you saying global warming is actually caused by the bias of IGN reviewers?

If you score 100 on a test then that's a perfect, therefore 100 is the perfect temperature.

In a few years, with global warming on the rise, we may be saying that 50C isn't that hot.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

45 is very hot, 0 is very cold, 22.5 is ok

NGL I could be jogging outside at windless 50 degrees everyday. That would be a dream compared to my current life in the hell that is the 47th Latitude Great Plains Region.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

50 degrees Fahrenheit

Unless you are literally a demon

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

We could make it work like that. Just have the thermometer be narrower at the bottom.
