I understand you’re being sassy but below zero you do start saying “no but seriously, how can it be this cold?” Zero is about the lower limit before temperature stops being distinguishable and just becomes cold
There is a BIG difference between 0F, -20F and -40F. And as someone that has worked in areas that has often seen -60F, -20F feels like spring in comparison, the local Inuit wouldn’t even wear a jacket at 0F.
It is funny how 40 in the fall sees most folks bundling up with everything they have, and 40 the spring is shorts and sandals weather.
I don’t stop wearing shorts until it’s about 0F out or the wind is insane. Not to like shovel the driveway or anything being out for extended periods, but going out shopping or whatever is fine. Today was 0 with a -20 windchill and my Costco run was done in shorts, a sweatshirt, and a baseball cap.
0 hot? So what about when it’s -40?
-40% hot, that’s pretty damn cold!
0% hot = 100% cold
so
-40% hot = 140% cold ❄️
If it gets hot this year I’m going to go off to my partner about how its almost 0% cold.
Sounds like girl math. 😜

that’s when the two scales collide…
-40FC…
‘fucking cold’
Can confirm this is accurate.
funnily, the same as -40 C
Yes, intentional.

Spoken like somebody who doesn’t experience freezing degrees very often.
Humans shouldn’t exist in zones outside 0-100
