-40°C 🤝 -40°F
Less known 301.4375C at which F and K are the same and equal to 574.5875
Yeah, they kinda relate 🥶.
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 😂.
-40 c is equal to -40 f it’s a bit chilly probably want 3 layers top and bottom there
And a space heater direct right at you 😂.
The worst part is that vodka freezes right in the plastic cups. It’s not fun to drink vodka with icy mush.
🤔 🤣… ummm… i’ve drank wine half frozen wine from a cup at -30C 🤣… not fun, but it kept us warm that night 🤣. too bad we didn’t have vodka at 3AM 🤣.
I think we drank like 10L of wine that night 🤣. Vodka would’ve been more efficient 🤣.
You mean…
-40°C = (-40-32)/18*10
Kelvin and Rankine are based.
What’s Ra°? Not Reamur (Re°) or Rømer (Rø°)
I think Ra° is an alternate for Rankine
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.
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.
And the meme is exactly about not having the same 0 point
Huh? Weight and length both have the same 0 point. It’s the scale that’s different for those
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.
They have a lot more in common than Celsius and Fahrenheit, which are only related because they are both measures of temperature.
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?
Theyre also not pointing guns at each other in the picture.
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.
Add eV there too.
If only they made a meter equal a yard. I’m okay with a bigger yard. Let’s do it.
0lbs ≠ 0kg in the absence of gravity.
Wait what? Even if you’re measuring mass both times?
Kilograms are mass, but pounds are weight. Therefore 0 kg = 0 slug, or 0 N = 0 lbs
I thought pounds could be used for either mass or force, and in modern usage just saying “pounds” usually refers to mass. Wikipedia seems to agree:
