    nah, it’s the fact that 95% of the places where 95% of people live, will 95% of the time be between 0-100 on an F scale

    You definitely made those numbers up because it regularly goes above 40°C in a lot of places. The mediteranean regularly enjoys those kinds of temperatures, never mind equatorial countries.

    -5 F is “really fucking cold”
    -5 C is just an average temperate winter’s day

    Depends on the climate you’re used to. Sure, in Scandinavia that might be the case, in the UK -5C is definitely “really fucking cold”, and in Qatar it’s unheard of. You are assuming your personal experiences are the worldwide norm.

    where differences between 93 and 94 F start making a huge difference,

    …what do you think is important about the difference between 93°F and 94°F (33.8°C and 34.4°C)?

    The celsius blind spot is bigger than that

    What blind spot? Have you not learnt about decimals?

    the “feelability” of small temp differences is higher at certain ranges

    Oh please, do explain. I can’t wait to hear this.

    Edit: Right, I forgot to mention:

    hilarious that people are offended by this for whatever reason

      I’m literally from an equatorial country, lmao. Check the “regular” temps for yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai#Climate

      in the UK -5C is definitely “really fucking cold”

      I mean by that logic why do anything at all, because everything is relative? Absolute quantities matter, you could justify the worst sort of suffering elsewise. Brits feeling -5C aren’t gonna feel colder than Dongbeiers at their normal -18 C (0 F btw) just because it’s relatively out of the ordinary.

      I’m not mad you’re mad

      eh I just use “mad” when people are vehemently against something without providing a real counterargument

        chefs-kiss Nothing I could have possibly said would make you look more uninformed.

        you could justify the worst sort of suffering elsewise.

        I was gonna talk about the sentences around it and that literally being my point, but what the fuck is this sentence? Why did you include this? What the fuck are you trying to imply about Celsius?

        without providing a real counterargument

        Hey, while we talk about real and fake arguments, why don’t you answer the questions you skipped: What is special about the 93/94°F boundary, what “blind spot” does celsius have, and what are the temperature ranges at which people become more sensitive to small differences?
