My eye is twitching just reading this. I wonder how I survived 110 percent hot days.
I suppose the takeaway is once the weather is 100 or higher, I don't care it's just too damn hot.
After being in 115 degree heat, 100 degree heat still feels just terrible.
Similarly below zero, subjectively I didn't need specifics anymore. I know that salting ice outside is probably not going to work anymore. Yes it does make a difference, but comfort wise I just hate it either way.
So I can see, mostly joking but a grain of truth that you have "stupidly cold" then 0 to 100 scale of usual air temperature then "too damn hot".
It's like the only way the farenheight scale is kind of appealing from a "humans like 0 to 100 scale", but it's mathematically painful and nonsense apart from comfortable human temperatures.
I'm one of those people who knows we should standardize, bit also finds Fahrenheit just very convenient.
Like, when people say it's 50 out, I immediately know that it's going to feel about halfway between what I know 0 and 100 feel like. No one can even put up the pretext of doing that with Celsius, because not even the most pedantic person ever bothers to tell you when it's 100 c out.
In seriousness though, the Fahrenheit scale isn't non-sense, it's just addressing things we don't much need help with anymore. The zero point was chosen as a temperature you can create reliably without particularly sophisticated tools, and the range is so freezing and boiling are 180 degrees apart, putting them on the opposite sides of a dial.
It's because the government controls the weather!!
Probably the same way people survived the -110% hot days.
