-40°C 🤝 -40°F
Yeah, they kinda relate 🥶.
that’s when it starts to get ‘cold’. before that, it’s just a ‘little chilly’.
I know this is a joke but as a Minnesotan I think right around -15°F (-26°c) is where it starts to get ‘cold’. This is where the air really begins to sting your face and people have issues starting their vehicles.
If only they made a meter equal a yard. I’m okay with a bigger yard. Let’s do it.
0lbs ≠ 0kg in the absence of gravity.
Wait what? Even if you’re measuring mass both times?
Kilograms are mass, but pounds are weight. Therefore 0 kg = 0 slug, or 0 N = 0 lbs
I thought pounds could be used for either mass or force, and in modern usage just saying “pounds” usually refers to mass. Wikipedia seems to agree:
Kelvin and Celsius are literally the same just offset by 273.15°
Literally the same just different.
Kelvin was developed from Celsius. The only difference is that 0° is based on absolute 0 (because it’s logical and constant) rather than the rough freezing point of water (a vague and inconsistent reference point). Every degree change in one unit is exactly the same change in the other.
And the meme is exactly about not having the same 0 point
Except Kelvin aren’t degrees (e.g. it’s just 273’15K not 273’15°K). But a change of one Kelvin is indeed equivalent to a change of one degree Celsius.
F and C are laterally the same just offset by 32 and scaled by 5/9.
Ehh, they were developed in different ways using completely different reference points
C and K use different reference points too, yet you called them laterally the same.
They have a lot more in common than Celsius and Fahrenheit, which are only related because they are both measures of temperature.
That depends how you count “a lot more in common”. The reference points for zero is much closer for C and F. People commonly use in everyday life C and F, but not K. Should I continue?
Sounds funny but really, why would a weight or length measurement start with ≠0?? Like “size of the dick or prince Charles”?
But that argument would go for temperature as well. Yet, here we are with the most commonly used ones having zero as wey more than the “nothing”-level.
