Strange, because it is bullshit.

Fahrenheit isn't how people feel, otherwise 50° would be perfect temperature.

You Americans are just used to thinking in Fahrenheit, that is why you think it is how humans feel. As a European, I "feel" in Celsius.

Why would you pick 50 for the perfect temp? Genuinely curious why land on that number.

Because it is in the middle of that "0 is really really cold, 100 is really really hot" "human feeling" fahrenheit scale you guys keep going on about.

This is the first time I've heard about a "human feeling" scale so sure, 50 must be perfect.
