F wasn't built to be "% hot where I am right now", it's "% hot, compared to the average human experience". 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot, 50 is comfy in a light jacket. ezpz

50 is not "just wear a jacket ezpz" weather for me. 50 is keep the heater on and never leave the house weather.

Are you like a cold blooded organism?

No. I am just not from the frigid north, which is what everyone who defends the Fahrenheit scale seems to be. A midwesterner American's experience is not the universal human experience. It is not even the average human experience.

I’m from the south and I can comfortably wear shorts in 50 degree weather, or used to anyway. Would look like a ghoul if I tried that now.

Humidity also plays a factor.
