You'd still be moving some 30km/s around the sun, and need to decelerate from that speed.

Boromir was extremely honorable man, but who could not fight against the influence of the one ring. Don't do him dirty like that

I guess you could go with Aragorn, Theoden and Faramir then

You keep saying this but it still doesn't make any sense. 50% heat would be average middle of the pack nice? And "as hot as normal person can tolerate" is full of shit because neither you or I have no concept of what "normal person can tolerate", as the normal depends on your geography. And this is quite a good reason why claiming "Fahrenheit is how human feels" is just idiotic as it relies both on a specific climate and having learned that scale growing up.

I swear you Americans can get so fucking stupid on this topic, it's like claiming that Finnish is the most intuitive language because it's the language of how love (average love, excluding outliers obviously) feels

Lmao your sauna is not clearing 100C, that's well past the point at which saunas can become hazardous to your health. If you genuinely run your sauna that hot then start looking into competitions because you're gonna blow all those professionals out of the water.

In International Sauna Championships the sauna was heated to 110°C. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Sauna_Championships?wprov=sfla1

Dry sauna at 100°C is not terribly hot feeling, but then again I don't like dry sauna. In those competitions the sauna was NOT dry, but water thrown onto the rocks every 30sec. That's actual hell to be in

Also, all you've done is list a bunch of understandings about Celsius that depend entirely on experience and prior knowledge.

Exactly. Because that is required to understand what the numbers mean. Congratulations for understanding what I said while completely missing the point

But I can say to someone unfamiliar with either system "Fahrenheit is a 0-100 scale of hot how it is outside" and they know almost everything they need to know about fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit is none of that. It requires prior knowledge and understanding where the scale lies. By your logic, 50°F should be perfectly nice ambient temperature, but in reality it's plenty cold enough for hypothermia

Okay so you're making lot of weird assumptions here. I don't know how hot weather 37°C feels, other than that for me 30+ is absolute hell. I've never experienced heatwave that bad for what I remember. Hottest summer days here are just about 30°C, and it's miserable.

Reference point means that I'm able to easily understand what that temperature is.

I can easily understand 100°C though, sauna is getting too hot and I should open window and chill down with feeding the fire.
For 0-30 I can easily understand how I should dress outside, and 0°C is easy to understand because just above it and I know it's going to be wet and slippery if there was negatives before it, and below 0 is slippery if there was positives earlier.

What is intuitive to you is totally a subjective experience based on your earlier experiences and what you're used to use to measure temperatures.

You really don't understand what reference points are. The scale is useless without reference points, and I'm not accustomed to them while I have very clear ones for Celsius.

Sure I can understand that 100F feels very hot, but if I was outside in that temperature I couldn't tell you an estimate in Fahrenheit how hot it feels

Oops you're right. I just converted 1°C to kelvin and brain farted

That would make sense, bulletproofing your standard before the bulletproofing technology catches up.

He was praying when it happened. "Oh my god"

No, they're not. I couldn't tell what those numbers mean even if you asked, but I can tell what 0°C outside feels, and what 100°C sauna feels. I can also tell that 21°C is a nice ambient temperature for chilling, and 15-20°C is ideal for most outdoor sports.

Yeah sure those are not necessarily nice round numbers, but I've used the scale all my life so it's intuitive to me, same as the Fahrentrash is intuitive to you

You do experience 69°C if you go to sauna before it's warm
