I'm a physicist and I still feel compelled to die on the following hill, re: Fahrenheit---it just maps better to human perception:

30s: Wear a heavy coat

40s: Wear a light coat

50s: Wear a jacket

60s: Wear a hoodie

70s: Wear a t-shirt

80s: Wear shorts




Works in C too:

-ve Don't go outside

0s Wear a coat

10s Wear a jacket

20s Wear a t-shirt

30s Don't go outside


-40s too cold

-30s cold

-20s February

-10s beanie optional

-0s can't store non-alcoholic drinks on the balcony

+0s wear waterproof boots

+10s no need to wear a jacket

+20s don't wear more than a t-shirt

+30s can't sleep since my apt. has no AC

Fixed that for northeners you insensitive clod.


What a brilliant comment! In fact, I'd even say it's over 9E+3 photons/s/mm^2/mrad^2/(0.001*Δλ)


c is just easy because 0 is the freezing point.
