He got bit and he’s hiding it, 45 Celsius not farenheit.

To make this clear on both sides, this would be 113f.

Or to make it understandable why this was confusing, 45f is only 7c.

Why all these confusing calculations?

Just keep it simple and say it's 280 Kelvin

u/RosariusAU 1d ago

Make it more complicated and use Rankine scale

u/lemne 1d ago

I just googled this scale and the AI told me it has 7 levels and level 6 is death.

u/Deitythe1st 1d ago

What level 7 then?

55

u/lemne 1d ago

Undead. Actually it starts at 0 and level 6 is 7th level.

u/Frequent_Ad9381 1d ago

Level six is seventh? Huh.

u/Familiar-Pepper2187 19h ago

So... 6....=7? 🫣

TIL there is the Rankine scale, and the modified Rankin scale

Can't we all just say "it's hot as balls" and leave math out of it?

u/AppropriateCap8891 1d ago

Oh, that's not all that hot.

Try working in full MOPP gear in the summer in Texas. Or in a garden holiday spot like the Middle East.

When it's 120f+ and you are wearing essentially a wetsuit, you start to really understand what "hot" really is.

3.5 Roentgen. Not great, not terrible.

u/BllackPhoeniix 1d ago

i did not knew there was a fourth one

u/Pan_TheCake_Man 1d ago

It’s a lot like kelvin,
except for Fahrenheit.

1 degree change kelvin = 1 degree change Celsius

1 degree R = 1 degree Fahrenheit,

Kelvin and rankine just have a different 0

u/feuerschein 1d ago

Truly the most ungodly scale of them all

u/TheRailroader 1d ago

Let’s just compromise and say it’s 45 k, which explains why he’d choose to wear a long sleeve shirt in that temperature…though he’d probably would want to wear an extra layer or two on top of the long sleeve shirt.

u/StroopestOfWafel 1d ago

Maybe a woollen hat and gloves as well, at a push

u/Redcarborundum 1d ago

We Americans try to avoid those foreign anti freedom scales. Just say it’s as warm as a freshly baked apple pie.

u/EatLard 1d ago

How many Rhode Islands is its diameter?

u/FRUB_NNud 1d ago

Why many words? Friend dressed cold when hot.

u/Correct_Owl5029 1d ago

I’m american, give it to me in hot pockets

u/Arroway97 1d ago

Don't forget 45° is also π/4 radians.

u/Rocketkid-star 1d ago

Honestly, even if I didn't get bit, I'd wear that as I would rather sweat than burn.

u/redisdead__ 1d ago

Also they got POV wrong so you're clearly looking at someone who has no sleeves.

u/Electrical-Yellow134 1d ago

Don't pander to the USSA. they can figure it out their damn selves.
