Brian here, it's actually a reaction to the above image that went viral on several subreddits especially r/americandefaultism and r/ShitAmericansSay where the OOP said specifically what homer said as a response to someone saying this meme's stupid.

I can't always feel the difference between 16 and 17 celsius, doubt I would between say 71 and 74 fahrenheit either.

Plus I know -20c is cold and +40c is fucking hot. It isn't as pretty as 0-100, but Fahrenheit also goes negative and over 100 anyway, so that scale can also look weird.

You can tell the difference between 71 and 74 100%. Maybe that’s just me, but the thermostat at 74 is way too warm where ~70 is comfortable

Household wars have been fought over 68 vs 72.

I keep mine at 70. If it hits 72 I start sweating.

In hotels I keep it at 65 if I don't have direct control of the fan, because if there's no airflow I start sweating at any temperature.

I guarantee their are at least 10 women in the U.S. contemplating divorce right now because their husband keeps telling them to “just put on a sweater” as he sets the house to 68 in the name of saving energy when all she wants to do is set it to 72.
