    Celsius is the superior scale:

    100° is the perfect temperature inside the Sauna.
    0° is the perfect temperature of the water you jump in after the Sauna.

        Isn’t basing a temperature scale on the freezing and boiling points of water a bit arbitrary in and of itself?

        The reason they are arbitrary numbers in Fahrenheit is because they weren’t considerations when the scale was made.

      I’ve never been to a sauna before, but are you guys okay with boiling yourselves and then immediately freezing yourselves? Doesn’t that seem very painful? Are you guys used to being Wim Hof all the time?

      source
      • Deme@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The thing to remember is that air is a great insulator. Air at 100°C isn’t nearly as bad as say water or metal at the same temperature against the skin. In fact, the air that comes in contact with the comparatively cold human skin will cool down rapidly, lessening the sensation of heat further.

        100°C is a quite hot one. It could hurt your nose and ears a bit, especially if they having a steaming session.

        The cold water (normally ~10°C) does not hurt at all. The first minute your brain is not able to differentiate the temperature at all. After that it gets quite quickly into: ohh I should leave!

        Btw: you should try sauna at some point. Especially with the steaming it’s amazing. There are also milder ones with ~80°C, I would recommend at the start.

  • starman2112@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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

      “the perfect scale”

      Proceeds to list completely arbitrary temperatures and link them to completely subjective opinions

      I can make all the same points about celsius but they make even more sense

      0 freezing 10 cool 20 room temperature 30 hot 40 very hot

      source
      • starman2112@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah I guess I agree, 0 to 40 makes much more sense in the context of temperatures humans typically exist in than 0 to 100

  • Thorry84@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.

        Why not? Most people only meaningfully engage with temperature scales when checking weather forecasts. It’s all pretty subjective.

        If course there’s a need for Celsius or Kelvin in scientific applications, but that’s not for the overwhelming majority of people.

    Interestingly if you take the middle of the freezing point (32F) and 100F, you do get a mildly warm 71. No this does not prove anything, yes I’ll still say it.

    Then if you average THAT with 50, you get 60.5… and you see all three numbers make a triangle. Illuminati confirmed.

    50 is great for just a light jacket and jeans. You’ll never get too hot, you won’t get too cold. So, yeah, as long as you’ve got clothes on it’s pretty perfect.

    If I want to wear less clothes then 70 is a good bit better, but 50 is damn comfortable.

    Fahrenheit is based on how the human body tells temperature and I’ll die on that hill.

    Using Celsius or Kelvin for scientific measurement makes sense.

    Using fahrenheit for the average person just checking the atmospheric temperature makes sense.
