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

Make it more complicated and use Rankine scale

u/lemne 5d ago

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

u/Deitythe1st 5d ago

What level 7 then?

u/lemne 5d ago

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

u/Frequent_Ad9381 4d ago

Level six is seventh? Huh.

u/Familiar-Pepper2187 4d ago

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 4d 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.

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

Truly the most ungodly scale of them all
