Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

    Where is freezing? That is a pretty important one particularly for driving or freezing pipes? So 40 is really hot, 20 is decent, 0 is freezing and -20 is cold and -40 is really cold. And water boils typically around 100.

    I mean, ignoring zero in Calvin, it is all arbitrary when it comes to temperature. Just celsius likes to land some key numbers on human centric values.

      Where is freezing in Celsius? Because it’s very unlikely to be 0 where you happen to be at any given time.

      Water boiling is totally irrelevant to what we care about as humans living in an environment

        It is almost always at zero or close enough on earth that it doesn’t matter.

        But 72f means something more than 25c? It is all relative but one measurement refers to states we can relate to. The other is a bit random.

          Yes it does. It means it’s 72% hot, because most human environmental temperatures that you experience are from 0 to 100
