    Yet people live in negative farenheit conditions.

    Try telling a northern siberian, who commonly see winter temperatures between -50 and -100 fahrenheit, that 0f is right about the limit for a human to tolerate…

      You think those people go out without thick, warm clothes? I get you’re really committed to arguing for C against people not even arguing against it, but come on now. You know what I’m saying. It’s not a particularly difficult concept to grasp.

        You wouldn’t tolerate 0 farenheit in the nude either.
        You wouldn’t tolerate 10 farenheit for extended periods either.

        I know what you are saying and I disagree. I am not trying to say celsius is better than farenheit, I’m saying farenheit is not in any way intrinsically more human than celsius.

        0 farenheit was chosen because that’s the temperature of salty ice, The lowest temperature they could easily achieve at the time, it has nothing to do with what humans can and can’t endure.

          Whatever mate. I’m not here to argue you out of whatever tunnel your stuck in. Good luck with that.
