        0f, you just walked outside of a station in Antarctica

        100f, you walked outside in a city built in the middle of a desert during the daytime

        -40, the temperatures the same in f or c, but you're not gonna like it regardless

          Back when I took trigonometry, they taught me positive was counterclockwise.

            Nah if 0° is upright 90° rotates that counterclockwise. Blame trig.

                What's the beer for? To be paired with the human ham I'll turn into if I am exposed to 100 °C for too long?

                    90's fine. Hell the 100's are fine.
                    It's when you get to 110 and above that ded

                          I will blame trigonometry, because orienteering says it’s the other way around.

                            For everyone from the real world, not fluent in retard units.

                            12 inches = 1 foot

                            3 feet = 1 yard

                            22 yards = 1 chain

                            10 chains = 1 furlong

                            8 furlongs = 1 mile

                            3 miles = 1 league

                            And here is my favourite 2 dimensional unit:

                            1 furlong x 1 chain = 1 acre

                            Edit: bruh.

                              100 is too much. The sweet spot is somewhere around 80.

                                        100°C - water make funny bubbles

                                          Yeah, if positive was clockwise in trig, y = sin x would have a negative slope at x = 0, which I guess Albert Sine found distasteful.

                                          (I made up Albert Sine. I don't know that there's anyone specific we can attribute the invention of trigonometric functions to. But I like to imagine him sitting at a desk scribbling right triangles by candle light and scratching his head as to how he'd go about actually calculating the sine, cosine, tangent, arcsine, arccosine, etc of various arbitrary values within his lifetime.)
