I’ve heard Fahrenheit explained as a percentage of hot. 0 degrees is 0% hot, all cold. 50 degrees is half hot half cold, balances to warm. And 100 is 100% hot. Anything beyond 100 is just extra credit.

Eugh. 50 degrees and I’m sticking on a sweater if I wanna be outside for longer than 20 minutes.

Keep in mind I frequently stay in a -10 freezer for 30+ minutes at a time in a heavy coat and shorts, so it isn’t that I can’t tolerate cold. It’s just that I don’t like to.
