You guys are too ignorant to see how full of shit OP is.

50F is not 50% hot, it's cold. If your house was 50F you'd be saying "something is wrong with my HVAC". You'd never heat to only 50, and you'd never cool that far. It's cellar temperature (colder than a wine cellar, warmer than a root cellar).

70F is 50% hot. It's a temp you'd cool to in the summer, and a temp you'd heat to in the winter.

100F isn't 100% hot either, most people enjoy a hottub to be a little hotter.

Tldr: OP is wrong

    50°F is when I might start wearing pants instead if shorts. I will still be wearing a t-shirt, and won't bring a jacket until at least 40°F.

    70°F is the hottest it can be outside before I become uncomfortably warm.

    When I get in a hot tub that is at 100°F, I will turn it down to at least 95°F and know that I won't be able to stay much longer.

    This is the other problem with Fahrenheit, there is no universal "100% hot". While Celsius doesn't have the granularity and is subject to "just ask water how it feels" criticism, at least "what temperature is water" is a consistent way to explain it as opposed to saying "at 100°, you'll be hot"
