minus-squareXTornado@lemmy.mlcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 years agoI got it, just asking where the numbers come from.
minus-squareelscallr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoWell, 0°F comes from the temperature of any mixture of ice, water, and ammonium hydroxide. 100, idk, but I’m guessing Fahrenheit had an upper bound. Either way, he made a scale that said, for people, “really cold” to “really hot” and it is pretty instinctual to me.
