    You always produce heat just by moving though, and your clothing also produces heat, and internal organ processes. By 37° if you aren't sweating and with three fans and a dry ice block underneath you may have anihidrosis.

    25°C is the standard room temperature; it's where pretty much all lab measurements are done (formation entalpies, entropies, Standard potential, the list just goes on). It is a perfectly comfortable temperature. 20°C is refreshingly cool. 0°C is absolutely fantastic.

    Fahrenheit is a weird scale. Apparently it was based off of brine, which, while no less arbitrary than being based off of water, is a bit odd. I much prefer Celsius; I'm just bad at converting the two in my head.
    Farenheit is based on the temperature of the lowest ring of Hell; that's the only explanation for it even existing.

    [°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5⁄9
