I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.

Celsius is the superior scale:

100° is the perfect temperature inside the Sauna.
0° is the perfect water temperature for a bath after the Sauna.

50 is pretty nice what are you on about

Fahrenheit is like school grades: 60 is minimum tolerance and beyond 100 adds nothing but misery.

I'd say 50 is perfect

Not to defend Fahrenheit, it's a nonsense scale, however: As with most subjective scales the entire scale can be split into good and not good. The top part is good and the bottom part is not good. The middle of the top part is seen as average good.

So around 75 degrees would be perfect, which is close enough for something as subjective as temperature.

This is why in things like movie or game reviews a 7/10 is seen as average. Like it's good, in the good part, but right in the middle not anything special. A 5/10 or lower is seen as not good, not worth seeing, not worth your time etc. This works for reviews, grades, person attractiveness rating etc.

Every time someone brings this up, another decade gets added until the US switches to Metric

There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant

this meme also works in Celsius.

If you score 100 on a test then that's a perfect, therefore 100 is the perfect temperature.

Don't impose your imperialistic temperature views on the rest of us! Leave us cold lovers alone!

NGL I could be jogging outside at windless 50 degrees everyday. That would be a dream compared to my current life in the hell that is the 47th Latitude Great Plains Region.

50 is indeed perfect.

Indoor temp? No. Outdoor temp? Yes!

69°F

Inb4 nonlinear temperature scale

Fahrenheit is the best human-focused temperature scale. 0 is super cold, 100 is super hot, 50 is the line between short sleeve and long sleeve weather (assuming no wind). Anything outside these bounds, it simply isn't worth going outside. But then everyone at a latitude <|37|° will say "that's not that hot" and everyone at a latitude >|40|° will say "that's not that cold," so really it's the best Kansas-focused temperature scale

Hell yeah, 50 degrees is tee shirt and shorts weather IMHO.
