• Who bundles up in 68F? It’s literally room temperature

    Also it’s useful in cooking because it’s an actual, useful scale. You know when it’s 90C it’s about to be boiling, just makes no sense why you gotta memorize 212F. Random number and all

      Never said “bundling up”. But that 10 degree range is so big as to be useless. 68 is not in the same category as 86.

      You know when it’s 90C it’s about to be boiling, just makes no sense why you gotta memorize 212F.

      What? How often are you putting thermometers in whatever it is you’re boiling? You just heat it until it boils. It doesn’t matter what the number is.
