    I did the math:

    Room temperature is often defined as 20 degrees Celsius (although I remember it being 23C in some old textbooks).

    20+16.6 is 36.6 which is the normal temperature of a human body.

    20+18.6 is 38.6 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.

    AFAIK ~42.0 degrees is lethal.

      The normal average temperature for a human body. Some people run slightly hotter or colder than that.

      For example, my body naturally runs slightly colder than that, almost an entire degree colder, but it’s normal for my body.

      F=1.8C+32 but for anyone else too lazy to do the math since the Americans are awake:

      I did the math:

      Room temperature is often defined as 68 degrees Fahrenheit (although I remember it being 73.4 in some old textbooks).

      68+29.9 is 97.9 which is the normal temperature of a human body.

      68+33.5 is 101.5 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.

      AFAIK ~107.6 degrees is lethal.

        Who the hell keeps their house at 68F?! 74-78 is my preferred temp but I can cope all the way to 85. But you turn that below 70 and we’re gonna have a problem (both in the “I’m fucking cold, bitch” sense as well as the “do you own the electrical company or something? I didn’t know you’re a billionaire”)

          I keep my house at 55 during the week and 60 on weekends. 51 at night.

          Edit: I sleep with a window open even when it’s 10 degrees out and I have a window fan to pull that fresh air in. My wife tolerates it, but I get snuggled more because I run so hot, so it’s a win.
