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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, they kinda relate 🥶.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (3 children)

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

Found the Scandinavian?

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.

am a native and lived there most my life. only had problems with my piece-of-shit cars when it got colder than -20F or so. block heater (on a timer) and a newish-battery and they always started, though, even during that record cold snap (-60F).

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (5 children)

-40 c is equal to -40 f it's a bit chilly probably want 3 layers top and bottom there

The worst part is that vodka freezes right in the plastic cups. It's not fun to drink vodka with icy mush.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 8 months ago

You drink Russian vodka. Made with ethylene glycol. Is antifreeze. No vodka ice!

You mean..

-40°C = (-40-32)/18*10

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

[–] [email protected] 77 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Literally the same just different.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They have a lot more in common than Celsius and Fahrenheit, which are only related because they are both measures of temperature.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

That depends how you count “a lot more in common”. The reference points for zero is much closer for C and F. People commonly use in everyday life C and F, but not K. Should I continue?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Theyre also not pointing guns at each other in the picture.

[–] chiliedogg 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Same relationship between Rankine and Fahrenheit.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] chiliedogg 3 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Kelvin and Rankine are based.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I think Ra° is an alternate for Rankine

[–] MisterFrog 1 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] MisterFrog 1 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sounds funny but really, why would a weight or length measurement start with ≠0?? Like "size of the dick or prince Charles"?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But that argument would go for temperature as well. Yet, here we are with the most commonly used ones having zero as wey more than the "nothing"-level.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Zero comes from experience, at least in Celsius. Its semi-scientifical as water is a pretty big part of our world. For our life and all it is pretty much the turning point, isnt it? But of course it could also be 50 or so, as below is possible

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Add eV there too.

[–] elrik 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

0lbs ≠ 0kg in the absence of gravity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Wait what? Even if you're measuring mass both times?

[–] elrik 2 points 8 months ago

You're right, "pounds" is ambiguous.

If only they made a meter equal a yard. I'm okay with a bigger yard. Let's do it.
