Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

        I mean I don’t really care what temperature is based on but exactly what does 77 degrees exactly refer to in that it is better or worse than any other number?

        Or you can learn both and just be better educated…you could try that.

          It’s not about learning or not. It’s about 1 system being fundamentally less suited for the task. You wouldn’t argue that we should all be using kelvin. I mean, you could argue that, but you wouldn’t be right.

              Not for human centered climate, where 0-100F is a very convenient set of human centric temperatures. 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot

                You are talking purely out of ignorance. The majority of the population on Earth are getting on just fine using celsius with none of the problems you claim to exist.

                Also “really cold” and “really hot” are purely subjective terms which varies a lot from person to person and from location to location.

                    Are you water? When is 100C ever relevant for you day to day?

                    Ahahah… When does water freeze or boil? At 0° and 100° Celsius. Much more convenient to remember those degrees rather than the corresponding Fahrenheit.

                    But it’s obvious you’re trolling. I, mean, I hope so otherwise it’s sad. Because only a moron who has never cooked would ask that.

                    Important when your cooking. Something I do nearly every day. Rather important if I want to determine is something will burn me.

                    What is the temp in f where you are at risk of burns? I can guess in c without having to look it up.

                Where is freezing? That is a pretty important one particularly for driving or freezing pipes? So 40 is really hot, 20 is decent, 0 is freezing and -20 is cold and -40 is really cold. And water boils typically around 100.

                I mean, ignoring zero in Calvin, it is all arbitrary when it comes to temperature. Just celsius likes to land some key numbers on human centric values.

                  Where is freezing in Celsius? Because it’s very unlikely to be 0 where you happen to be at any given time.

                  Water boiling is totally irrelevant to what we care about as humans living in an environment

                    It is almost always at zero or close enough on earth that it doesn’t matter.

                    But 72f means something more than 25c? It is all relative but one measurement refers to states we can relate to. The other is a bit random.
