You're fake and gay and pretentious and Fahrenheit rules.

[–] • 0 pt

Right, because zero means something useful in Fahrenheit.

[–] • 14 pts

Yeah, it means it's pretty cold out.

32° - water freezes, definitely need a hoodie and long pants, and a hat

0° - cold af, boyo. Better bundle up. Wear a decent jacket.

Below 0° - are you sure you want to go outside? If you have to, definitely wear multiple layers.

-32° - nope. I'll probably freeze to death.

Yes, and here's Kelvin.

273.15° Kelvin - water freezes. Put a hat on. "Watch out honey, it's below 273.15° Kelvin outside!" Lots of Kelvin people are saying that each morning before getting the newspaper from the driveway. It's only eleven syllables. Rolls right off the tongue.

32° Kelvin you will instantly die if exposed to this temperature. Household objects are now superconductors.

0° Kelvin. Functionally the same as 32° Kelvin. You're dead.

Fuck that shit.

I had a Dodge van that kept overheating on long trips until I changed the temperature gauge to read out in Kelvin. It still overheated, but it never got to that scary red zone again.

Don't forget your strip of electrical tape over the check engine light. You'll never be bothered by it again!

I have that over my "fasten seat belt" light. I just need to get rid of that ding.ding.ding.....ding.ding.ding.....ding.ding.ding sound which makes Homer go crazy.

You can do it in mopars by a series of seat belt engagements with ignition cycling. No ding for me.

We use centigrade, not Celsius but I'm not surprised a Kelvinist wouldn't know or care for the difference

i dont even get why kelvin would be superior having the unit of measurement based on the freezing point of water makes sense, its basically kelvin but -273 degrees(iirc)

0 Kelvin is where all molecular action stops.

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

Theoretically. Whereas 0 centigrade is where water actually, demonstrably freezes at sea level

So, scientifically, my ex-wife's bed.

and that is useful in everyday life how?

Zero is the number of normal people using the Calvin scale:)

I agree; all other temperature measurement systems are inferior.

But I think in fahrenheit so you can go fuck yourself.

Ever heard of rankine?

Kelvin is for advanced homosexuals

KELVIN IS A STUPID NAME. NO ONE EVEN NAMES PEOPLE KELVIN ANYMORE BECAUSE IT IS SO STUPID.

Kelvin is your dad's middle name. Ask me how I know.

[–] • 2 pts

How I know?

[–] • 0 pt

We used to tag team your mom together. I'm your dad, and you know it.

Celsius is based on the freezing temp of water, 0 water freezes 100 it boils. That's a decent scale for practical home use and being a relatable scale. unless you are an engineer or scientist Kelvin is irrelevant since I am never going to experience true zero, so the range of temperatures that are relevant to the average person would be some arbitrary number range that wouldn't make practical sense.

I have no fucking idea what farenheit is doing, it seems completely random with no sensible baseline.

Looks at the moon, do ya see meterprints? NO! You see g'damn FOOTprints!

Chessmate!!!

[–] • 1 pt

How many miles to the moon? Now convert that to feet, yards, chains and inches and get back to me on that next week.

Also instruments to measure things are called meters, not feet. Checkermate!

[–] • 1 pt

You are traveling to the Moon, and you are using metric but your buds communication cuts out.

Did your buddy mean centi-meters, milli-meters, -meters... or what? If only he said inches, feet, yards, or miles then I could understand the word if the radio cuts out.

I would prefer saying a nice day is 300K.
