        And 0-30F looks like the hotter part of the scale, there’s no telling wether that shade of brown is 10 or 90F

        “How hot is it going to be today?”

        “Get in the chest freezer, they invented a new color for us.”

        Reminds me of a quote from Galactic North (2006) green marking the start of a galaxy-wide disaster (terraforming bots making the galaxy terrifically habitable).

        It was impossible for stars to shine green, any more than an ingot of metal could become greenhot if it was raised to a certain temperature. Instead, something was veiling them – staining their light, like coloured glass. Whatever it was stole energy from the stellar spectra at the frequencies of chlorophyll. Stars were shining through curtains of vegetation, like lanterns in a forest. The greenfly machines were turning the Galaxy into a jungle.

      California is really massive. On a more fun note, some friends did the snowboard in the morning, surf in the evening trips. It’s not an unusual sight to see a snowboard and surfboard mounted next to each other on a car.

      Wait wtf, how hot does it have to be for you to wear shorts?

      I’ll begin wearing them 100% of the time at 50F and 0% at maybe 30F?

      And then I’ll have to cower indoors in underwear only at 70F or so, as that’s *too* hot

        Hehehe I’m soft, 15 yrs away from NY winters. I used to be able to go out in the cold in my underwear. Now it’ll drop to 55 here but it’s such a different cold, I can’t handle it.

    Gotta add new colors for new temps, that green is fucking terrifying imo

    84° in SFBA is pretty scary. No one has AC there.

      Eh 84 average in the bay really means 72 in SF, 80s and low 90s every where else. Pretty average for the bay.

    When there’s some new standard for the best way to measure true temperature in fifty years, all of the current figures will be in question. We’re already adjusting old data. Why not compare raw data publicly too?
