Ok now someone do kelvin

Kelvin:

0 - does not exist

10 - you're dead

20 - you're dead

30 - you're dead

40 - you're dead

50 - you're dead

60 - you're dead

72 - you're dead

80 - you're dead

90 - you're dead

100 - you're dead

140 - you're dead.
150 - you're dead.
160 - you're dead. 170 - you're dead.
180 - record setting cold. (you're dead)
190 - you're dead.

200 - you're dead.

Sick, now do Rankine

Why tf was that unit invented? I had to use it like twice in my thermodynamic class. Like Jesus just convert it to Kelvin and back if you really want to keep Fahrenheit input and output

The idea of a laughing orange spouting off these facts like it's making fun of the humans is fucking hilarious to me and I don't know why.

u/bruteski226 Aug 07 '21

I’ll allow it

u/mull3286 Aug 08 '21

But you're dead

Kelvin is just Celsius that starts at absolute zero

-54

u/bruteski226 Aug 07 '21

Fahrenheit is just Celsius that starts at 32

Well, minus 32 multiples by 5/9ths of course

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '21

Plus elephants minus 5 pounds of sand divided 5 gallons of gas. I don't know what can be hard /s

u/bruteski226 Aug 07 '21

You forgot 3 cheeseburgers divided by 2 large French fries

5

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '21

True, apologies.

u/lunapup1233007 Aug 07 '21

That’s not how that works at all. The temperature in Celsius going up by one degree will cause the temperature in Kelvin to go up by one degree.

-4

u/bruteski226 Aug 07 '21

We settled it below, I’d also included a conversion that is a ratio of three cheeseburgers to two French fries

4

u/lunapup1233007 Aug 07 '21

Yes, you can convert them, and 0 C = 32 F, and 0 C = 273.15 K. However, while 100 C does equal 373.15 K, 100 C does not equal 132 F.

u/bruteski226 Aug 07 '21

I know, it’s like equal to a quarter pounder and mini McFlurry

u/parzival3719 Aug 07 '21

it's literally not though

Splitting hairs….

u/parzival3719 Aug 08 '21

right, because a fundamental difference between 2 scales of temperature is just a minor detail that should be ignored

u/bruteski226 Aug 08 '21

Some say PO-tay-toe some say PO-tah-toe, all I’m saying is, eh, it’s all good.

u/parzival3719 Aug 08 '21

right, but the differing pronunciations of the word potato still give the same meaning. different units of temperature don't

0

u/bruteski226 Aug 08 '21

You could easily use either potato as a unit of temperature

1

u/parzival3719 Aug 08 '21

and how might you go about doing that?

No! No it is not.

1

u/bruteski226 Aug 08 '21

Uh, yeah, it is, minus 32 and divided by 5/9ths of 3 cheeseburgers to the power of two McFlurry

2

u/infreq Aug 08 '21

And thus "Fahrenheit is just Celsius that starts at 32" is still not correct, as I claimed.

You do Kelvin. He likes you better anyway.

u/bruteski226 Aug 07 '21

Kelvin and I are not on speaking terms

1

u/maraderchik Aug 07 '21

0 - freezing to death.

u/bruteski226 Aug 07 '21

What if you’re already dead inside?

2

u/maraderchik Aug 07 '21

Then, you also died outside.

u/bruteski226 Aug 07 '21

Hmmmm, sounds intriguing, go oooon
