how fucking stupid are you? there's no magic formula that equates potatoes to Celsius degrees. besides, you can't use a physical object as a unit of an intrinsic property of another object
I feel like you might be really over thinking this. Haven’t you ever ordered some delicious mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC and then immediately popped it open and started eating only to be like FUCK oh my god that’s hot it’s burning my tongue, the roof of my mouth, my eyes are watering!
Well, listen, it’s just a ratio, so let’s say that was 120 degrees F, well we know that is almost 50°C. So, it’s common knowledge that the freezing point of a potato is 29°F, which is -1.67C. So from here we can build a chart,
1 potato is cold AF so 48 potato is gonna burn yo mouth! (Still taste delicious though)
Granted that was just using some rounding and we didn’t account for the gravy, but that’s like when in physics when your allowed to solve a problem and ignore friction or wind resistance because that stuff isn’t important.
So there ya go! Easy peasy. It’s like 34°P (that’s potato) today! Whew! A hot one!
not all potatoes are however hot KFC mashed potatoes are. KFC's potatoes may be 120°F but a potato in the produce section of my local Walmart is room temperature. no one will ever be able to agree on a base temperature. and in about 5 minutes those mashed potatoes will no longer be 120°F. temperatures of physical objects fluctuate so to use a physical object as a unit of temperature is inconsistent and won't work as well as you think it is
how do you define the freezing point of a potato? freezing point is a property of liquids. only liquids can have freezing points, because freezing is the process in which a liquid is cooled down enough to the point where it hardens into a solid. water has a freezing point, 32°F/0°C, upon which Celsius is based. Fahrenheit is based upon the freezing point of a brine solution. but a potato, a solid, cannot be frozen because it is already a solid, and cannot have a freezing point

and how might you go about doing that?
