I've always explained °Fwith:

0° = Cold AF

100° = Hot AF

50° = Chilly, but manageable

For Celsius

0º - water becomes solid - it's cold

25º - water is refreshing - ideal temperature

50º - water is scalding - dangerous

100º - water is boiling - guaranteed serious injure territory from this point forward

And, since nobody seems to reach an agreement...

For Kelvin

0º - matter has ceased to move; collapse of matter and reality as we understand it - it's cold

273.15º - water is remains solid - still cold

298.15º - water is a fluid, drinkable, safe to enter - ideal temperature

323.15º - water is capable of delivering serious injuries upon contact - dangerous

373.15º - water is passing into vapour form at high rythm - avoid proximity and all contact from this point forward

FYI: Kelvin doesn't use the degree symbol. It's not degrees Kelvin, just Kelvin.

I'll leave as a testimony of my idiocy. May those seeking to demonstrate my ineptitude never lack evidence.

Nah, it's not widely known. Multiple teachers in school got it wrong.

This is not the explanation you think it is, over there.

So I take it 50°F is the ideal temperature for humans, since it's halfway between cold and hot?
