    You realize the only reason that 82 sounds like that is because you grew up with it, right? That to someone using Celsius, 28 degrees sounds exactly the same in their head? We’re not the only ones who get to experience the feeling “of 82”, others do too, they just call it something different. This isn’t complicated stuff.

    Yes, I do realize that. I was poking fun at this person who told me to burn myself because I asked for a source for his claim about human sensitivity to temperature. It’s known as using humor to defuse an awkward situation. This isn’t complicated stuff.

    I swear the only explanation is narcissism. Just an complete inability to empathize and understand other people’s worldviews.

    Ironic.
