    I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.

    Interestingly if you take the middle of the freezing point (32F) and 100F, you do get a mildly warm 71. No this does not prove anything, yes I’ll still say it.

    Then if you average THAT with 50, you get 60.5… and you see all three numbers make a triangle. Illuminati confirmed.

      Then you map it onto Celsius and see 32°F is 0°C, 71°F is 21,7°C and 100°F is 37,8°C.

      Which coincides almost perfectly with the 0-20-40 framework we intuitively use in Celsius. 0 is deadly cold without warm clothes, 20 is warm, and 40 is deadly hot.

      Turns out Celsius is good for weather, too. or it’s illuminati
