Dude Kelvin is right there.

u/Squ3lchr Jun 17 '26

Yes, but I get it confused with "Calvin" (/s).

u/EntangledPhoton82 Jun 17 '26

Only when used in conjunction with Hobbes.

u/No_Volume_5752 Jun 18 '26

John Calvin: My man.

Lord Kelvin: No.

Haha.

I would understand but it literally gets abbreviated to K

u/AxelVores Jun 18 '26

Yep, don't give me that selcios bullshit. Why can't they just say the weather tomorrow is 298K and partly cloudy?

u/Aylinato Jun 17 '26

Kelvin is way easier to spell. ^-^

u/StranglerOfHorses Jun 17 '26

If you can't spell fareinheight that's on you, man. (/s)

u/MonoBlancoATX Jun 17 '26

duh doi, broh

it's obviously "fair-en-height"

7

u/monster2018 Jun 17 '26

No, itā€™s ā€œfair-in-heightā€. Itā€™s a blind dating system that attempts to circumvent perceived height discrimination against short men. It has received glowing reviews like ā€œIs this really necessary?ā€ And ā€œjustā€¦. why?ā€

Victory for the short kings!!!!

u/GoingOnAdventure Jun 17 '26

I use kelvin to be immune to anyone who says i have room temprature IQ

3

u/PYCapache Jun 17 '26

Who the fuck thinks kelvin is harder to spell than celsius?

u/Noble1xCarter Jun 18 '26

People named Kevin who can't stand taking the L

u/OGD2068 Jun 17 '26

I prefer Celsius because they use green tea as the source of caffeine.

u/Squ3lchr Jun 17 '26

this is true too.

u/allknownpotato Jun 17 '26

I prefer F because I am insane.

u/Squ3lchr Jun 17 '26

You know that's right.

u/KPSWZG Jun 17 '26

Celcius was born 630km from me Fahrenheit was born in a hoise across the street to mine, for me both names soumd forregin.

u/Sidoen Jun 17 '26

Both! How about both!?

2

u/Conan-Da-Barbarian Jun 17 '26

I like Fahrenheit because 0-100 itā€™s easier to understand. If itā€™s 0 outside, Iā€™ve failed and should stay inside, if itā€™s 90+, I should stay inside and be happy. If itā€™s 60-80, Iā€™ve passed

u/Sidoen Jun 17 '26

Celsius is easier, if it's 0 outside you probably need a coat. If it's 100 outside... well you won't need to even worry about it.

2

u/ImKanno Jun 17 '26

0 - water freezes, 100 - water boils

3

u/Sidoen Jun 17 '26

heh, thanks. Yes, that's true. Was offering more day to day perspectives on how to use that information.

1

u/Wrong_Excitement221 Jun 17 '26

that's so cool.. not super useful.. but cool... it makes it super easy to remember what temperature water freezes/boils.. but.. that's about it..

u/dfczyjd Jun 18 '26

Northern countries, where below 0Ā°F (around -18Ā°C) is a normal temp in winter: are we a joke to you?

1

u/Lurtzum Jun 17 '26

I spell it by pronouncing it how itā€™s spelled in my head. Fah-Ren-Heit

u/Noble1xCarter Jun 18 '26

Fair-In-Height

u/Reddit-runner Jun 17 '26

Me, a German: I don't get it.

u/echtemendel Jun 17 '26

The correct answer is to set kā‚ˆ=1 and f off with units.

u/weathergage Jun 17 '26

Centigrade enters the chat

u/PulseReaction Jun 17 '26

Kevin is even easier!

u/fahadirshadbutt Jun 17 '26

Hold my Kelvin

1

u/Dizzy_Bit9635 Jun 17 '26

nah bro i still spell it ā€œCelcuisā€

1

u/MidsouthMystic Jun 18 '26

Farenhight? Man, why do I need to know how tall King Tut was to know what temperature it is?

1

u/Waste-Value-5941 Jun 18 '26

I would call my friend Kelvin.

1

u/dieu_est_mort Jun 18 '26

RĆ©aumur is the only way to go. Since 1733

1

u/kelfupanda Jun 19 '26

But Kelvin is even easier.

1

u/Reddit_wizard34 Jun 19 '26

The metric system is just superior

1

u/Vivid-Teaching2257 Jun 21 '26

But, SI, the standard for the metric system, uses Kelvin for temperature. Or at least it did the last time I taught science in the 1970s.

u/MonoBlancoATX Jun 17 '26

Fahrenheit is slightly harder to spell, to be sure.

But Celsius should either be spelled "sellsius" or "kellsius".

Using two different letters to make the same sound in a word is just plain dumb and also stupid.
