165F sounds like the average low temperature of an oven. Still extremely hot btw.
74C sounds like you're getting close to the boiling point (100C).
Bigger numbers just look much more dramatic.
Anyway, it's fairly easy to convert between both systems so it shouldn't be a problem.
Just wondering if all this time on this forum has made you fluent enough in Fahrenheit that you can see a number between 0-115F and automatically know what it is in C.

I have been fluent in both Fahrenheit and Celsius before joining this forum

I'm still not "fluent" in Fahrenheit. I don't think that I'll ever be. It's still a bit too complex for me. I had to convert the OP's reading on Google.
In my mind, I know that 30-40F is cold, 50F to 60F is getting mild, around 70F is warm and over 80F is hot. But I cannot convert those to their exact Celsius counterparts in my mind.
I think it's mandatory for those who make threads with Fahrenheit (and even Celsius) figures to at least feature them in other scale too? I personally do this and it's very convenient, since I don't want those who reply to my thread to go and do the "converting".

Knew the basics of Celsius but wasn't fluent before I joined. Now, I pretty much know all the conversions from -18C to 50C but will still use the above link for numbers outside that range (or do a little mental math).
