We're Rankine temperature scales I think.

Everyone forgets about the most important and sane scale ever created, the Réaumur scale.

As it should be:

  • 0°C=0°Ré
  • 100°C=80°Ré.

Edit: for the love of god, it's a meme community. Of course it's not better. I hoped that we don't have to use the terrible /s bullshit here. ohmygod people, think for a second.

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.

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

An IQ of nearly 300 seems pretty galaxy brain imo.
