Simple experiment. Hold a pan at 50ºC for a minute, then hold a different pan for a minute at 51ºC. Once you’re done, tell me which burn hurt more, okay? :)

Hey buddy this is a bit much for a discussion about temperature scales, no? I’m quite shocked by this response tbh, if I knew people were this sensitive about Celsius I would have been more diplomatic in my original comment.

You’ll never know what it’s like to enjoy a sunny summer day, not a cloud in the sky, with a high of 82. Unlucky.

How? I’m literally responding to his points and asking for a source and he’s telling me to burn myself. But I have issues. Okay 👍

God damn man this is embarrassing, and I say that as a Fahrenheit using American.

You realize the only reason that 82 sounds like that is because you grew up with it, right? That to someone using Celsius, 28 degrees sounds exactly the same in their head? We’re not the only ones who get to experience the feeling “of 82”, others do too, they just call it something different. This isn’t complicated stuff.

I swear the only explanation is narcissism. Just an complete inability to empathize and understand other people’s worldviews.

Yes, I do realize that. I was poking fun at this person who told me to burn myself because I asked for a source for his claim about human sensitivity to temperature. It’s known as using humor to defuse an awkward situation. This isn’t complicated stuff.

Ironic.
