Less known 301.4375C at which F and K are the same and equal to 574.5875

that’s when it starts to get ‘cold’. before that, it’s just a ‘little chilly’.

I know this is a joke but as a Minnesotan I think right around -15°F (-26°c) is where it starts to get ‘cold’. This is where the air really begins to sting your face and people have issues starting their vehicles.

-40 is fucking freezing in C 😂. Should be even worse in F 😂.

You mean…

-40°C = (-40-32)/18*10

Kelvin and Celsius are literally the same just offset by 273.15°

Literally the same just different.

Kelvin was developed from Celsius. The only difference is that 0° is based on absolute 0 (because it’s logical and constant) rather than the rough freezing point of water (a vague and inconsistent reference point). Every degree change in one unit is exactly the same change in the other.

And the meme is exactly about not having the same 0 point

Except Kelvin aren’t degrees (e.g. it’s just 273’15K not 273’15°K). But a change of one Kelvin is indeed equivalent to a change of one degree Celsius.

F and C are laterally the same just offset by 32 and scaled by 5/9.

Ehh, they were developed in different ways using completely different reference points

C and K use different reference points too, yet you called them laterally the same.

Ah yes just rolls off the tongue. Totally the same as, an increment of one is equal in both.

Same relationship between Rankine and Fahrenheit.

And 0 Kelvin and 0° Rankine are three same temperature.

In that case I assume it would be 0 Rankine without degrees, too? Because it’s an absolute unit like Kelvin.

It’s still technically defined based on its relationship to Fahrenheit, just like Kelvin was with Celsius until the 60s.

Kelvin and Rankine are based.

What’s Ra°? Not Reamur (Re°) or Rømer (Rø°)

I think Ra° is an alternate for Rankine

Rankine is based? The same way pound-mol and 1000th of an inch are based?

AT THAT POINT, WHY NOT JUST USE METRIC o_0

I bite my thumb at Rankine, sir.

Because 0 is not a lack of temperature like the measurements. (With the exception of Kelvin)

And Rankin, which is apparently just the Kelvin for Fahrenheit.
