15 days agoThe most intuitive temperature scale, imo, would be one where 0 is freezing and 100 is room temperature. A warm day would be somewhere between 100 and 200, and more than that is getting into dangerous territory. Boiling temperature would be 500, and conventional baking temperature would be around 1000. I’m too irony poisoned to tell if this is a joke.
Yeah, you’d have to peg 100 at some average room temperature and let people figure it out, but room temperature is similar enough that it would make sense to most people. Mostly you just want to be able to tell by the temperature what kind of clothes to wear, and it would be good if 100 were approximately the delineation between wearing a sweater vs a t-shirt. If I were an old retired crank I would start a movement to switch to this new True Temp scale. Rogan would love this.
