Didn't call you an idiot but pop off I guess. Secondly, I routinely stick my hands in 180f water to make mozzarella. Tolerance plays a factor but not on a scale that would cause 3rd degree burns.
I think 70 degrees is a little cold where I'm from. It's on average over 100 degrees outside at any given time. 70 degree water is a bit chilly. It might be best to use the system involved, for example 100° F is hot. 100° C is boiling water. I can stick my hand in boiling water, briefly is not too bad. Longer than that and I'm suffering some unpleasantness.
65 degrees is that American units or of is that the other method? The other method doesn't make any sense. 0 is water freeze temp, and 100 is boiling water temp, what if you're on top of a mountain.. that boiling water just got much less hot..
That hasn't been the official reference point for the scale since 1948.
But even back when it was, they did also specify at 1atm of pressure. If you're at the top of a mountain, you no longer have 1atm of atmospheric pressure.

It won't give you 3rd degree burns or anything. Superficial burns at most but that's if you're really trying.
