how to “get” fahrenheit temps

  • think of it as a percentage of heat

    40% hot? eh, kind of on the chilly side

    75% hot? that’s pretty warm now

    20% hot? that’s actually not warm at all

    110% hot? we’re dying

    IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW

  • irrelevenceisfutile

    Fun fact: the Fahrenheit scale is used in temperature according to how it feels to a human. So looking at in percents actually is what you should do

  • s3diya

    Now can I get a cheat sheet for Celsius

  • runonsentencesaboutemotions

    Ask water how hot it feels.

  • willowscribe

    I’m an American raised on the Fahrenheit system, but I learned this really useful rhyme ages ago to help me estimate my understanding of Celsius temperatures:


    30 is warm

    20 is nice

    10 is cool

    0 is ice


    For context, 30C is 86F, 20C is 68F, 10C is 50F, and 0C is 32F.
