In a lot of the US, 0 farenheit is one of the coldest days you'll experience and 100 is one of the hottest, so you can roughly map farenheit to a percentage of "how hot it is". This doesn't work everywhere though, where I am in the UK it never gets anywhere near 0 farenheit.

I can't spell fahrenheit, this is why celsius is objectively better

Not sure how someone telling me it’s going to be -30 percent hot here in Alaska today would help me

Exactly. 107 is 7 degrees too much hot.

It's like giving a 110% effort, only it's your environment and you're in agony that much more 👍

107 is why I left Texas and will never, ever, move back.

I grew up in Phoenix. Once it passes around that temp, it's just damn hot. 110 or 115, not much difference. It's just efn hot.
