Ah yes.
Using the Celsius scale offset by ~273.15 must be the most galaxy brain shit I’ve ever seen.
The meme is that room temperature in kelvin is a bigger number than in Celsius and Fahrenheit
It’s so odd to use that expression in Fahrenheit though. 70 is by definition just as likely as 130.
I went to a school where the admission requirement by law is IQ 130, and it’s not like you’d see the kids as fundamentally different from you if you’re within 1std of the mean (85-115, which is 68% of the population).
An IQ of nearly 300 seems pretty galaxy brain imo.
Celsius came before we invented absolute zero. What else were we supposed to do?
no degrees! So much improve!
And where does poor Rankine sit?
It took someone with a room temperature IQ expressed in Rankine (530-540) to make this meme.
Rankine sits outside with the fahrneheiters, where they belong.
Is that like the heat equivalent of gradians?
Kelvin starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Celsius scale.
Rankine starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Fahrenheit scale.

It was named after the Scotsman that developed it. Furthermore, I’ve never seen it used in any practical application here in the US.
The only time I’ve ever seen it used was practice questions from my thermodynamics textbooks when Imperial units were used (alongside the wonderfully awful to use BTU which doesn’t translate well with anything).
I’ve never seen Rankine actually used anywhere otherwise.
