I've always explained °Fwith:
0° = Cold AF
100° = Hot AF
50° = Chilly, but manageable
Why are you all like this?
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.
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.
