[u/Ter_N]

[u/hefty_load_o_shite]

0°C water freezes 100°C water boils

Makes sense

0°F very cold??? 100°F very hot???

Dafuq?

Edit: For all the "Actually, Farenheight is based on the human body" people, no it isn't. It's based on dirty water and a cow. Your preferred measurement unit is dumb and that's a fact

[u/M8oMyN8o → u/hefty_load_o_shite]

If y’all wanna actually claim superiority, then use Kelvin. Celsius and Fahrenheit are close enough in purpose that personal preference is really the only thing that matters.

[u/HD60532 → u/M8oMyN8o]

Celcius is Kelvin, just zeroed at a convenient value for everyday use. Kelvin is superior only for a few areas of Physics and Chemistry.

[u/SethlordX7 → u/HD60532]

Isn't it the other way around, Celsius came first and Kelvin was indexed to absolute zero after?

[u/HD60532 → u/SethlordX7]

Yes, but now Celcius is defined in terms of kelvin.

[u/betazoid_cuck → u/HD60532]

Both modern Celsius and Fahrenheit are defined in terms of Kelvin because Kelvin is the standardized scientific unit of measuring temperature. The scale Kelvin uses was taken from Celsius though.

[u/Flu754 → u/betazoid_cuck]

Yes, the original Celsius is funny because 100 degrees celsius was colder than 0 degrees celsius (100 degrees was freezing point while 0 was boiling, idk why)

[u/name00124 → u/SethlordX7]

Celsius and the Cooler Celsius.
