Ah, another excuse to whip out my one bit of interesting temperature based trivia.
-40 is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit, and 575 is the same in Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

Wow that was useless. Thanks!

That's nice, but you still need to get out of the volcano.

What about rankine?
chaogomu@kbin.social · 10 pts · 2y
That one is easy. Rankine and Kelvin line up at 0 and technically a bit at 1 as well. sort of.
More like 0.5555 Kelvin and 1 Rankine, but I'm allowed to round up a bit in this.

Where does Rankine line up with Celsius?
psud@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Never. Rankine increases faster than Celcius, so the two will never cross
Those lines do not cross
threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y
Huh, so the lines do cross, just at a pysically impossible temperature of -614.5875. Neat!

Technically, if you’re visiting the Big Bang, aren’t you home already in space?
fsxylo@sh.itjust.works · 19 pts · 2y
We're... Not sure space was a thing back then.
BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 2y
I mean… We’re not even sure space is a thing NOW
threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y
Space was definitely a thing, it was just closer together than it is now.
TheActualDevil@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
It was a thing, in a localized area of an infinitely small point, that also was everywhere that existed... I think. I'm not a big bang-ologist, I'm more of a small bang-ologist so my understanding may be flawed.

So there was no place uncorrupted by capitalism.

If you're visiting the big bang, you might be part of the excess of normal matter (that survived annihilation with the anti-matter

Dude, get back to the surface. Of Earth, to be precise.

That might be the unfunniest xkcd I've seen so far. It pretty much reads like a table "things which are so and so hot".
