- btbuilder 9mo ago0C = Frozen!
- ghkbrew 9mo agoOnly if you're made of pure water at standard pressure. Which I'm not.
- Kim_Bruning 9mo agoClose enough for government work, actually. And it's not just flesh. Lots of things behave approximately like water, which is handy for all sorts of back-of-envelope estimates.
- samus 9mo agoYou better take precautions against frostbite below that temperature though. And a lot of things need to be watched as they could be frozen then.
- evil-olive 9mo agoI see this argument repeated every single time someone tries to defend Fahrenheit. if "room temperature" was smack in the middle, at 50 degF, you might have a point. but no, it's pure post-hoc rationalization. being naked at 0 degF will kill you. being naked at 100 degF will (usually) not. they're not remotely equivalent. instead, think of it this way - human beings are mostly water, and 0 to 100 degC is "percentage of the way from water's freezing point to boiling point". room temperature is "about 20% of the way to boiling". 40% or higher starts to cause our bodies to overheat. a typical sauna will be somewhere between 50 and 70% of the way.
