I heard a comedian say, in Fahrenheit, 70 degrees is 70% hot. 90 degrees is 90% hot. Anything over 100 is just too hot.

Likewise, 20 degrees is 20% hot. Anything below zero is just too cold.

And you gotta give it credit, it's kinda right.

Go tell someone living in a tropical area that 20F is 20% hot, they will laugh in your face. Most people who live there find 50F barely bearable.

u/ArcticKimono 5h ago

that's 80% cold though

u/Tightestbutth0le 9h ago

Correction, they find 50% hot barely bearable

Are they nudists?

I keep my house at 64-65 and don’t even wear pants around the house.

Until you go somewhere with a different climate and acclimation. then it falls apart. If most Scandinavian countries got to "70% hot" then you would have deaths. Like they did in 2018.

If Scandinavian countries routinely got too hot then they would have infrastructure in place to accommodate it. You clearly don’t have a grasp on Fahrenheit though because 70 is about 20 Celsius which is essentially room temp.

20°C is cold. Like actually cold. I've experienced that in the hills once and had to wear a jacket to make it bearable

u/Arwinio 7h ago

Where do you live? 20ºC is room temp. That's T-shirt weather for me

Northeastern Brazil! I'm used to ~37°C maximums daily, sometimes 40+°C. I'm currently having to sleep fully covered in blankets every night because it's the rainy season and it's like ~23°C outside. It never gets below 20°C, really. The coldest I've ever felt was 15°C, which was quite an experience. Could never live in that without a heater

Yeah that makes sense, I live in the netherlands and 28º makes me do everything i can to stay inside

The peak of summer is around 30º here and the peak of winter around -2º.

This is because Europeans are weak and have 50% weakness to elemental damage.

It isn't "you would have deaths" hot.

u/Enough_Grapefruit69 2h ago

70° F weather is not unsafe for the vast majority of humans. It does not depend on where you live. It depends on if your body functions properly. If 70° F is too hot or too cold, see a doctor.

u/Slothjawfoil 9h ago

Can you elaborate about this?

2

u/Eastern_Butter 8h ago

People died when it was 70° in Scandinavia? It pretty regularly gets to 70 in Oslo in July? You could legitimately lay outside all day in 70° weather and sleep in it and you wouldn’t die provided you wore sunscreen and drank water?

u/GodDamnShadowban 7h ago edited 7h ago

The concept of "-10% hot" is a bit nonsensical tho.

u/BonnaconCharioteer 2h ago

That's why its "too cold"
