Because, you know, they use Celsius, and 90° Celsius is, like, 194° Fahrenheit, and most people wouldn't live very long at that temperature.

 

On a completely separate and unrelated note, explaining jokes kinda sucks.

The bummer about the joke is that a 90° angle is not acute, nor is it obtuse. It's a right angle. Surely the punster could have used the word "right" to good effect rather than resorting to the ill-fitting "acute", something like, "This joke is all right!"

It would probably get ignored (or at least not "liked") if they tried such a play.
