100 f is pretty close to average body temperature.

So above 100 means your surroundings are hotter than your body is unless you have a fever.

I think that’s an okay land mark.

I have zero reference for how hot my body is because I don’t feel my ambient temperature.

What I do know is that I feel cold if it’s anything below 30, and I know other people feel hot if it’s above 20. So what people consider hot/cold must clearly be based on something more than the average body temperature

I’m not saying it’s perfect.

But 100 being body temp is a land mark, so it’s not 100% arbitrary.

Today I learnt. So that makes a bit more sense. 100 standard body temperature, 0 your blood starts to freeze.

If your body drops to room temperature, you’re already likely dead. If it freezes afterwards is only useful information if you’re preserving meat.
