Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Ice cold -- 0 degrees.

Who wants Ice at 32 degrees? That's a ridiculous temperature to say "It's freezing out there -- it's 32 degrees!!"

If I want someone telling me it's cold, I want it to be sub-zero. Not sub-32.

You know I'm right.

I'd probably like to have ice cream at 32 degrees

Normal body temperature is 36 degrees. Ice-cream at that temperature would be a pool of liquid :)

No, when it's 36 C outside, the commenter above would like to eat ice cream

That's correct, thanks

But I'm not ice.

0-100 degrees F is "very cold" to "very hot" for a human. Your familiarity with base ten can take over from there.

The exact temperature of 32 is not usually that important when it comes to weather because the amount of heat in the ground or water and the difference in temperature of the atmosphere impact whether or not snow or ice forms. It's not like everything freezes over when the temperature dips below 32. You need the lows for the day to go into the 20s usually.
