That’s the problem; you’re not actually pitching anything. You’re badly rationalising why your personal preference would be objectively better, and labeling it in a pseudointellectual bullshit that doesn’t make any sense.

Edit oh and don’t get “heated” then…?

closer with human-scale temps

So you just never cook anything? Because if you cook, your scale is longer. You have to heat your oven to 350+ degrees, whereas I’m just putting it to 180. So the scale is actually “aligned closer with human-scale temps” whatever your brainfart can be interpreted to mean.

we spend 90% of our lives wandering around in a fairly narrow range of temperatures

You do. You. Just like you think your brainfart is in anyway an improvement instead of just silly rambling without any sense whatsoever.

I have never once cared about the actual temperature of that reaction

Because you don’t live in Peru or the bottom of the sea, so you don’t have to, because you know it’s always pretty much exactly 100 for you.

A person with a stroke could’ve written your comment and it would be none the better.

Not one of your arguments holds any water; Centrigrade is a smaller scale, and a more logical one. Standing naked outside, most people would have a fairly good guess on when it’s near or below 0c. Or as English actually says “freezing.” You couldn’t even tell 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Literally most people in the world have never even experienced such a temperature. I have. I’ve also experienced -40 (where they meet.)

How many days a year do you spend in 0f?

Because in my country being below zero is more common than not. Both C and F, moreso C though, as “it’s closer to a human scale”.

So F is wider, cooking temps are double that of anything in double digits, no-one can even tell where 0f is and 100f is very much not close to the warmest things we handle in our daily lives.

0-100c is quite simple. Over or under, don’t touch with bare skin. (For non cooks stay below 60c though or you’ll burn yourself)

But I don’t need to argue. The works decided long ago.

And I bet that room has its own thermostat, fuel, and doesn’t reach that temperature without human input.

I don’t manage to see your point. If the point is “you can’t live in places which are hotter the average body temp”, then should I point you towards Australasia? Also, in my last apartment, I didn’t have a sauna, but I did have a kitchen that was constantly above 40 and topped out my 52c meter in my kitchen.

considered on a common use scale?

Only an American things measuring things in average horse blood temperature vs when water boils at sealevel is a “common use scale”.

A “common” use scale for you less metrically abled; “fucking freezing”, “freezing”, “cold”, “cool”, “okay”, “a bit warm” “too hot” “fucking scorching”.

The hottest recorded temperature on earth is 56°C

You mean the hottest ambient temperature measured not from direct sunlight. Yeah, maybe. Still a bit more than our body temp, no?

water’s boiling point can vary wildly on Earth.

Yeah, but 100c doesn’t. It’s always the temperature at which pure water boils at sea level.

If I forget to check the altitude I could mistakenly think my boiling teapot is at 100°C instead of 68°C.

Sure yeah, you sound like a guy who might have a problem like that. Luckily for you, kettles don’t actually have thermostats set to 100c. They shut off when the water is boiling, despite the temperature. So people like you have been accounted for, rest assured. Nor will you be needing to make any thermometers either.

quirks of your appliances

So you microwave shit and then think temp doesn’t matter? I don’t really “appliances”. Is a grater an appliance? A manual one? Knives a few pans, ingredients. Thermometer. Perhaps if you’ve actually been doing a dish for 20 years perfectly you can forget about but it but it’s an absolute must for most kitchen professionals; good measuring instruments. A scale and a thermometer, mainly. Don’t really need anything else. Don’t even need that to cook, obviously. But because of the “quirks of your appliance”, you probe your meat, to meet the right temp. Damn I made myself hungry. Well I got some moose in the freezer.

That’s why many recipes give hints on target texture or look (crispy, soft, golden brown…). But yes if you want a very specific

What’s way more important in cooking is actually the measuring than thinking you can just throw it together and wait until it turns whatever the description wants. If you want it good, you’ll measure it to the gram and use the correct temp. Which is a bit above our body temp again, but guess “cooking” isn’t included in “common use scale”?

Humans are endothermic, which means being somewhere hotter than us is Not Good™️.

Endothermic refers to the ability of the organism to regulate it’s temperature, not just the ability to generate heat, but also to cool itself down. We humans are so good at it, that we can literally just jog prey down in hot environments and pretty much all animals will overheat before we do.

Hell, in my apartment there’s a room especially for making it very hot and humid. Even above 100c, and I still don’t boil. Weird, huh?

cooking temps generally don’t require much prevision

Alright. Sure. Yeah. Why not. /s

Most people don’t know that the archetypical USB port is called USB-A, and most people don’t even interact with USB-B at all

Perhaps most people on the street. I would wager the average citizens understanding of, idk, Star Trek, Linux and also USB-ports is a smidgeon lower than the average Lemmings understanding of them, on average.

Have you ever lived in a house with an orchard?

I have. Three different one, actually. My back is still sore from having to clean them as a kid.

And the signs I talked about hang on every fence from here the nearest citymarket.

Both pollen and stinging insects at public places are bad for allergic people.

That as well, yeah. With it and their messiness, it’s a noble thought to have “free food available” but it’s only a small time of the year, nothing anyone can rely on for food (with an orchard it’s still a huge job to preserve a significant portion of the fruit, jams, pies, etc). So perhaps it’s just better to have neat trees and leave the fruit where there already exists infrastructure for it; supermarkets.

When you buy fruit in the store, do you take the first apple you see, despite it clearly having fingerprints on it? Nah. You take the one behind it.

That applied to fruits in cities equals a ton of fking work cleaning up streets of rotting apples.

It’s all of Northern Europe, not Finland especially.

It’s called “the right to roam” in English.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam

All Nordics, Scotland, and even some more central European countries like Switzerland and Czech Republic have variations of it.

And it is not the reason we don’t plant fruit trees in cities. The reason we don’t plant fruit trees in cities is theyre messy as fuck.

Just think of how often you see buckets of apples labeled “omenoita ilmaseksi!” in the fall. Because people want to clean up their yards of all the rotten apples. Imagine that on every sidewalk.
