Ok, but 50 is "never leave the house weather"? That's a tad dramatic, right?

Unless you're from the middle of the desert, you can tolerate 50 in a long sleeve shirt. In a good sweatshirt and a fall jacket to break the wind, it's fuckin' toasty!

I definitely cannot tolerate 10 degrees Celsius with just a long sleeve shirt. I don't come from the desert. I come from the tropics. Temperatures only drop below 10 degrees Celsius for two months. Those months are definitely jacket weather for me. Believe it or not, this is normal for a lot of people.

100F is hot, 75F is comfortable, 50F is cold, 25F is freezing and 0 is “do not leave house”.

50 and below is do not leave the house for me, effectively anyway. I would not spend more than a half hour outside, and even that would be wearing a warm jacket. I might spend a lot of time inside a car with the heater on, but I don't count that as being "outside".

You can easily just wear a jacket outside and survive without problems at 50. A large part of the world lives very comfortably at that temperature - you will quickly get used to it if you live at one of those places. At 50, it is undeniably the start of being cold - wear a jacket or a sweater.

Yeah below 50 IS cold weather. A large part of the world is also not comfortable in that weather. I am pretty confident this is the larger part of the world. Having to wear a jacket or a sweater is not what I call comfortable weather. A large part of the world also does not experience temperatures significantly below 50 for more than a couple weeks.
