I think most things are tested between -40c and 180c.

Why?

Pretty sure they mean (as a joke I’m assuming) that most things get tested at a temperature that is between -40°C and 180°C since room temperature is between those temperatures, not that most things are tested at all temperatures between -40°C and 180°C

-40°C is equivalent to -40°F, which is 233K.

^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)

Meh, just because nobody tested it there doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Yeah. I say this guy or gal should do it and report back with the results.

Probably cause most people would be unable to use a product that's hotter than 180° or lower than -40°

Most things are tested around room temperature. Technically, room temperature is between -40 and 180.

joke answer: room temperature is between -40c and 180c

actual answer: those are pretty much the temperatures most things will feasibly be at in actual use, even in extreme cases
