I just use
30°C is hot, 20°C is nice 10°C is cold, 0°C is ice.
Obviously that won't apply everywhere, but in milder climates it works pretty good.
And 40°C is the melting point of the human brain.
Which goes some way towards explaining some of the decisions happening in Florida, Texas and Arizona during their ridiculously hot summers..
I understand and appreciate your joke, but is it really? And I imagine that the bones and skin would melt first, right? Idk. I've never considered that someone could melt from the inside.
Not literally, no, but it can be very difficult to concentrate on anything else when you're suffering under immense heat and a lack of concentration can lead to a figurative brain meltdown.
That being said, the brain is mostly fluid, fat and electric connections so it would DEFINITELY melt long before your bones.
Would have to be around 50-60°C for the 60% of it that's fat to hypothetically melt if exposed directly to the heat rather than protected by the skull and cooled down by the blood, but that's nothing compared to the 1670°C melting point of human bones.
Btw, I hope you're happy with this reply since my Google search history looks rather grisly now 😂
40 is dying 50 is dead
It's the best way to think about it because if you're always doing the calculation in your head you still always think in Fahrenheit first. Just get the feeling for Celcius instead of trying to shoehorn a worse system in (as a user of said worse system myself).
and 30C° is a typo
