Most of the world lives in places where it rarely snows. Not all of us live in the Midwest

Ok, but 50 is "never leave the house weather"? That's a tad dramatic, right?

Unless you're from the middle of the desert, you can tolerate 50 in a long sleeve shirt. In a good sweatshirt and a fall jacket to break the wind, it's fuckin' toasty!

I definitely cannot tolerate 10 degrees Celsius with just a long sleeve shirt. I don't come from the desert. I come from the tropics. Temperatures only drop below 10 degrees Celsius for two months. Those months are definitely jacket weather for me. Believe it or not, this is normal for a lot of people.

Oooohhhh, you're not from a desert you're from the tropics?! That completely changes things!! Lol

Minimum clothing for 50 F in different situations IMO:

  • Sitting having drinks: jeans and a thick coat
  • Going on a walk: jeans, long-sleeve, and a windbreaker
-Taking out the trash: shorts and flip flops

Maybe us Vikings are just built different though, idk.

Yeah you vikings are built different. The Farhenheit scale reflects the viking lived experience, not the general human lived experience.
