Yeah, they kinda relate 🥶.

[-] ares35@kbin.social 16 points 10 months ago

that's when it starts to get 'cold'. before that, it's just a 'little chilly'.

[-] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Found the Scandinavian?

-40 is fucking freezing in C 😂. Should be even worse in F 😂.

[-] Still@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

-40 c is equal to -40 f it's a bit chilly probably want 3 layers top and bottom there

[-] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago

And a space heater direct right at you 😂.

[-] Still@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

no, you absolutely do not want a space heater when dealing with cold.

[-] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Hm, why? I use one all the time.

[-] Still@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

can cause you to sweat which will lead to your jackets becoming ineffective leading to hypothermia

[-] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago

Ummm... yeah, you just turn it off if you're hot...

[-] Piafraus@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The worst part is that vodka freezes right in the plastic cups. It's not fun to drink vodka with icy mush.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

You drink Russian vodka. Made with ethylene glycol. Is antifreeze. No vodka ice!

[-] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

🤔 🤣... ummm... i've drank wine half frozen wine from a cup at -30C 🤣... not fun, but it kept us warm that night 🤣. too bad we didn't have vodka at 3AM 🤣.

I think we drank like 10L of wine that night 🤣. Vodka would've been more efficient 🤣.

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] ares35@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

am a native and lived there most my life. only had problems with my piece-of-shit cars when it got colder than -20F or so. block heater (on a timer) and a newish-battery and they always started, though, even during that record cold snap (-60F).

[-] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

You mean..

-40°C = (-40-32)/18*10

[-] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 36 points 10 months ago

Kelvin and Celsius are literally the same just offset by 273.15°

[-] bleistift2@feddit.de 81 points 10 months ago

Literally the same just different.

[-] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 25 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 22 points 10 months ago

And the meme is exactly about not having the same 0 point

[-] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 17 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago

Theyre also not pointing guns at each other in the picture.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Same relationship between Rankine and Fahrenheit.

And 0 Kelvin and 0° Rankine are three same temperature.

[-] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

In that case I assume it would be 0 Rankine without degrees, too? Because it's an absolute unit like Kelvin.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It's still technically defined based on its relationship to Fahrenheit, just like Kelvin was with Celsius until the 60s.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 19 points 10 months ago

Kelvin and Rankine are based.

What’s Ra°? Not Reamur (Re°) or Rømer (Rø°)

[-] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

I think Ra° is an alternate for Rankine

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Rankine is based? The same way pound-mol and 1000th of an inch are based?

AT THAT POINT, WHY NOT JUST USE METRIC o_0

I bite my thumb at Rankine, sir.

[-] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 16 points 10 months ago

Because 0 is not a lack of temperature like the measurements. (With the exception of Kelvin)

[-] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 26 points 10 months ago

And Rankin, which is apparently just the Kelvin for Fahrenheit.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago
[-] elrik@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

0lbs ≠ 0kg in the absence of gravity.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 6 points 10 months ago

Sounds funny but really, why would a weight or length measurement start with ≠0?? Like "size of the dick or prince Charles"?

[-] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

Zero comes from experience, at least in Celsius. Its semi-scientifical as water is a pretty big part of our world. For our life and all it is pretty much the turning point, isnt it? But of course it could also be 50 or so, as below is possible

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

If only they made a meter equal a yard. I'm okay with a bigger yard. Let's do it.
