Who bundles up in 68F? It’s literally room temperature
Also it’s useful in cooking because it’s an actual, useful scale. You know when it’s 90C it’s about to be boiling, just makes no sense why you gotta memorize 212F. Random number and all
people actually use boiling water to calibrate their meat thermometers, but they always forget to check their elevation. boiling point here is 205 degrees, and 7 degrees matters when say chicken is safe at 160 but you actually pulled it off at 155
68f is for sure t-shirt weather. 86f is for sure T-shirt weather.
Who TF bundles up if it’s 86 deg.
Super confused, you bundle up at 68f for normal ideal summer temps? Or is 68-86 Gigantic enough you need long sleeves? Or like just low keyed afraid are you of the outdoors at 20c? Spoiler alert… It’s nice?
What is this about “bundling up”? Literally no one said anything about bundling up. But 68 and 86 are just fundamentally different temperature categories.

68 means you may or may not need a jacket, depending on the wind, fog, etc. It also means you should probably carry a jacket because it’s likely to drop down below “t-shirt” weather when the sun goes down. 86 means you’ll likely not need a jacket at all, even at night. And it means the wind will be refreshing rather than biting. And it might mean shorts as well.
Like, I just don’t believe that you can’t understand how 68 and 86 are fundamentally different temperature categories
68 is shorts and T-shirt weather in my part of the world. No one carries a jacket around if it’s that warm. Maybe it’s cold to you if you live between the tropics? I can’t speak to that
20-30c is a cool shortcut that F doesn’t really have. The original comment says it’s just a decent guideline and “I just don’t believe that you can’t understand” what a guideline is. But if you need all this stuff to exist outside in nice weather maybe a quick guideline is not for you…
Explain how this is useful in cooking
68 to 86 is a GIGANTIC difference. 68 is cold for many many people, certainly not “t-shirt weather”. and 86 is hot, much more than “t-shirt weather”.

Never said “bundling up”. But that 10 degree range is so big as to be useless. 68 is not in the same category as 86.
What? How often are you putting thermometers in whatever it is you’re boiling? You just heat it until it boils. It doesn’t matter what the number is.
Thank you for making sense lol. Who’s putting a meat thermometer in water to make sure it’s boiling? It’s boiling when it’s boiling.
people actually use boiling water to calibrate their meat thermometers, but they always forget to check their elevation. boiling point here is 205 degrees, and 7 degrees matters when say chicken is safe at 160 but you actually pulled it off at 155
100 is absolutely a random number, just fetishized.
i dunno, 68F on a cloudy windy day isn’t as pleasant as 68F and sunny.
But then again I’m from Ohio and I won’t bother to put on so much as a vest until it hits 50s
68f is for sure t-shirt weather. 86f is for sure T-shirt weather.

68 is not t-shirt weather for a lot of people.

i literally set my thermostat at 69 because its t shirt warm.
