What is this about "bundling up"? Literally no one said anything about bundling up. But 68 and 86 are just fundamentally different temperature categories.

you bundle up at 68f for normal ideal summer temps? Or is 68-86 Gigantic enough you need long sleeves?

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 is 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...

20-30c is a cool shortcut that F doesn’t really have.

What kind of shortcut? 68-80 are so massively different. Even if 68 is shorts and t-shirt for you, that means 86 is "uncomfortably hot". And even if 68 is t-shirt weather, it means at night it's going to drop probalby 10 degrees. So 68 is "tshirt weather right now, but bring a jacket", and 86 is "tshirt weather but leave the jacket at home". and the 10 degree bands of F are perfect for that. 60s is "cool, may or may not require a jacket depending on your preference". 70s is "nice right now but prepare for cool when the sun goes down", 80s is "warm, don't bring a jacket", etc.

So sure, we don't have the "20-30c" shortcut (again, way too big to be useful). We have EVERY 10 degree band as a shortcut

68-80 are similar temps. I'm comfy at both. I wear the same thing outdoors at both temps.

I'm sorry you don't I guess and are offended that someone else is different than you.

20-30 is easier to understand than 68-80 for most people (obviously there's an exception)

Yes, 68 to 80 are somewhat similar. I obviously meant 68-86.

But 68-80 IS similar, and it's exactly why F is better, because we have the 70-80 band. But that's exactly the point, 68 and 86 are NOT similar temps, hence being in separate 80-90 band.

Yes obviously.
