Uses °C: what an idiot haha

Still uses °C but adds 273 to it: wow he must be some kind of genius.

You see, an IQ score of 20 is considered extremely low. A score of 293, on the other hand..

We can solve all temperature related problems by inventing a new one and using the letter designation of "U." Because F, C, and K are all missing that special something.

Better yet, Degrees Rankine.

Room temperatures in different units:
Degrees Reamur - 16.8
Degrees Celsius - 21
Degrees Fahrenheit - 69.8
Kelvin - 294.15
Degrees Rankine - 529.47

I have room temperature IQ in degrees Reamur, btw.

Now wait one second. Fahrenheit is a scale created so that 0-100 is human comfort level. No one ever talks about that. 70°F is comfortable, 90% is "ok this is getting a little bad", etc etc

What do you mean no one ever talks about that? People who like to use Fahrenheit can't shut up about it.

Personally it doesn't make a lick of sense to me. Tf is 70% hot supposed to be??

Funny, I've actually never heard of it that way but that makes even less sense now. What if I'm chilling in a 90°C Sauna and feel it's hot. But on the other hand a 70°C Sauna isn't bad. Now what's that on fahrenheit? 99? Or is that death?

Which is exactly why it's being criticized, it's subjective as fuck and it's only being used because of stubbornness

Good luck finding anyone from outside the polar circle who thinks 1f is comfortable or anyone living on the northern third of earth who thinks 100f isn't miserable 🙄

The solid, liquid and gaseous states of water are objective, though.

IVE SEEN THIS MEME FIVE HUNDRED TIMES

I just input the conversion formula to my long term memory so I don't need to google it every time. F = C * 1.8 +32
