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

That's just about perfect if you ask me.

50 is pretty nice what are you on about
Yeah, I'm not going to the beach at 50F, but I can hike, golf, just hang out outdoors, etc. If it's sunny 50F can even feel rather warm.
Perfect running weather.

Fahrenheit is like school grades: 60 is minimum tolerance and beyond 100 adds nothing but misery.
That's not how school grades work were I live but I guess I now understand Fahrenheit

Anything past 85F adds nothing but misery.
About 30C to the people who use real units

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.
Yet, Temperature is not a nonlinear star-rating by IGN, is it?
Are you saying global warming is actually caused by the bias of IGN reviewers?

There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant
New Englander born and raised. Thats hoodie and shorts weather. Best time of the year.

this meme also works in Celsius.
0°C is not very cold... chilly maybe.

In a few years, with global warming on the rise, we may be saying that 50C isn't that hot.

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.
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
