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 😂
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).
More like 30° I’m melted into the pavement, 20° warm but good, 10° is near perfect, 0° starts getting cols, -10° put on a jacket, -20° and below put on a good jacket.
Don’t feel dumb man, trying to make yours rhyme is fun actually. I like that you added other temps. That’s how I learned it in America as a kid and remembered it, because it rhymes.
Texas is Hell though. Anyone who’s been there understands this. From the heat to the guns to the people, it’s far and away the least desirable or interesting place I’ve been to. Austin wasn’t terrible though.
Don’t Texans just stay in air-conditioned buildings and vehicles all the time? I just saw a YouTube video where a guy in Texas was complaining that his air conditioning setup wouldn’t get the temperature below 76°F, which I found odd since I set the thermostat on my AC to 26°C (which is nearly 79°F.)
Yeah that’s absolutely a thing all over warm weather states in America. It drives me crazy that I try to acclimate to the higher heat and just end up inside with 68° air conditioner settings. Absolutely freezing my ass off. But the reality is that is more middle/ upper class living. If you’re doing manual labor or living in poverty, you know what the heat is actually like.
It doesn’t fit into the rhyme, but -10°C is the point where just wearing a coat isn’t enough. You need to either start limiting the time you spend outside or put some serious thought into the protective clothing you wear beyond just throwing a coat on as you go out the door.
I had a water bottle in my car when it was around -11 °C, and when I tried to drink it, the supercooled water instantly froze solid, which was startling, but hardly surprising.
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…

Thank you kindly for your research! 😁
You’re very welcome 😁
Well, looks like, we have to test that. Any volunteers?
and 30C° is a typo
40 is dying 50 is dead
I’ve been dead a few times this summer.
I guess, I am dying.
What would you then call sauna temperatures which range between 80 to 120?
What’re ye units? Can’t know what ye measure unless ye specify! 🦜

All those are still shorts weather.
And it’s always helpful to remember that 40 below is 40 below, in both F and C.
(Whew, ninja edit so I don’t look like an idiot, on Reddit I’d already have six people correcting me)
100°C is steam
Your reply didn’t rhyme, try again next time. 😆

That doesn’t rhyme for shit, man. Ha :)
I’m going to try and add some flair to your post
I don’t know how I didn’t realize yours rhymed, whoops I feel dumb

“30°C is hot” - laughs in Texan
Texas is Hell though. Anyone who’s been there understands this. From the heat to the guns to the people, it’s far and away the least desirable or interesting place I’ve been to. Austin wasn’t terrible though.
Austin is the common “island of sanity” that happens with American cities. Is it enough to say in Texas… Not for me.

Spot on
What’s -10°C then?

Colder, like the shoulder I’m giving you. 😆
Why?
Cause you didn’t rhyme! Give it a try sometime! 😆
