Usually this silly argument is about 0-100 thing. But Yanks don't seem to understand that you can do negative numbers, you don't have to be within 0-100 range.
Yes, negative numbers exist, and numbers beyond 100. But they're not that important. 0 is basically the lowest temperature that matters in day to day life. If it's colder, you don't do anything different unless you're preparing for an outdoor adventure. Same with 100. 100 is the hottest temperature that makes a difference. Beyond 100 it only matters if you're preparing for an outdoor adventure. The 100 degree scale is about describing the normal range that humans interact with their environment in. Even if it can get extreme beyond that, that doesn't mean the 0-100 scale isn't useful.
They kinda are though lol.
But what about sauna. What about really cold weather. What about cooking. Hell, what about my PC. What about when I have a fever. What about really hot weather... The temperatures are about much more than the fuzzy idea about normal-ish weather in certain places on earth.
It just means it doesn't have much benefit to it at all. The whole argument for it is silly.
Ps I'm starting think Fal is losing it in this comment section...
They've started a holy war to preach the benefit of staying between 0-100. I admire their conviction, even if I think their argument is nonsense.
Ehhhh conviction isn't super admirable if it's something stupid.
I don't think a flat earther's conviction is admirable.
But at least theyre less stupid than flat earthers... So far...
It's admirable in the "I love internet drama" sense. I love it when people feel super strongly about something that doesn't matter.
Oh I gotcha now, agreed
