Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

          I mean I don’t really care what temperature is based on but exactly what does 77 degrees exactly refer to in that it is better or worse than any other number?

          Or you can learn both and just be better educated…you could try that.

            It’s not about learning or not. It’s about 1 system being fundamentally less suited for the task. You wouldn’t argue that we should all be using kelvin. I mean, you could argue that, but you wouldn’t be right.

                Not for human centered climate, where 0-100F is a very convenient set of human centric temperatures. 0 is really cold, 100 is really hot

                    Are you water worried about boiling? When is 100 relevant to you as a human?

                  You are talking purely out of ignorance. The majority of the population on Earth are getting on just fine using celsius with none of the problems you claim to exist.

                  Also “really cold” and “really hot” are purely subjective terms which varies a lot from person to person and from location to location.

                  Where is freezing? That is a pretty important one particularly for driving or freezing pipes? So 40 is really hot, 20 is decent, 0 is freezing and -20 is cold and -40 is really cold. And water boils typically around 100.

                  I mean, ignoring zero in Calvin, it is all arbitrary when it comes to temperature. Just celsius likes to land some key numbers on human centric values.

                    Where is freezing in Celsius? Because it’s very unlikely to be 0 where you happen to be at any given time.

                    Water boiling is totally irrelevant to what we care about as humans living in an environment
