I've always explained °Fwith:
0° = Cold AF
100° = Hot AF
50° = Chilly, but manageable
Why are you all like this?
I heard they have A1 steak sauce in schools, for teaching.
For Celsius
0º - water becomes solid - it's cold
25º - water is refreshing - ideal temperature
50º - water is scalding - dangerous
100º - water is boiling - guaranteed serious injure territory from this point forward
And, since nobody seems to reach an agreement...
For Kelvin
0º - matter has ceased to move; collapse of matter and reality as we understand it - it's cold
273.15º - water is remains solid - still cold
298.15º - water is a fluid, drinkable, safe to enter - ideal temperature
323.15º - water is capable of delivering serious injuries upon contact - dangerous
373.15º - water is passing into vapour form at high rythm - avoid proximity and all contact from this point forward
FYI: Kelvin doesn't use the degree symbol. It's not degrees Kelvin, just Kelvin.
I'll leave as a testimony of my idiocy. May those seeking to demonstrate my ineptitude never lack evidence.
Nah, it's not widely known. Multiple teachers in school got it wrong.
Get the fuck out of here with your miserable warm water, water is refreshing between 3° and 10°C.
You want to take a swim in water at that temperature? Be my guest. And drinking water that cold? I don't my teeth enamel redone.
If I want to be refreshed, yeah. Also, unless it's scalding hot it shouldn't damage teeth - you might want to look into the content of your water rather than it's temperature if it's damaging your tooth enamel.
There is no battery acid in it, I can assure you.
This is not the explanation you think it is, over there.
So I take it 50°F is the ideal temperature for humans, since it's halfway between cold and hot?
