And Rankine would be even better than Kelvin in terms of “big number go brrr.” Water boils at 671 R.
Of course, Rankine is the most obnoxious unit I’ve ever had to deal with, but those numbers sure are big!

By that metric, kelvin would be even better though.

You mean it’s THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN FUCKING DEGREES OUTSIDE?!
alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
OK, but with Rankine, if it’s 101 out, you can go Five Hundred and SIXTY degrees??!

Please raise this temperature by 1.4x10^-23 Joules - statements of the utterly deranged

Joules are energy. You need thermal capacity to turn them into temperature.

“Kelvin” sounds a lot like “communism” you pinko
rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You miss out on screaming that it’s negative anything though.

The best system would have 0 at a mild, comfortable temperature, and go up or down by 100 degrees per one degrees Fahrenheit.

But mild and comfortable is different for different people who are acclimated to different weather.
We need a defined ‘mild’ temperature. i vote for 70F/21C.
Infynis@midwest.social 7 months ago
As a cold weathered folk, I can confirm that 70 is my upper limit for nice temperature
pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
I’d adjust it to 68/20 just so it lines up with whole number in both systems. And on second thought, make it 90 per degree Fahrenheit so any whole F or C value can convert to a whole number.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
it needs to be a range, you can’t really just have a single point, something like 50f to 70f would be good. Some people like a little below, some people like a little above, the 60s are generally pretty comfy all around though.
We also need to consider clothing as well. Which i do in this case.

0 for freezing because water falls from the fucking sky.
meeeeetch@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You can absolutely yell about that. And when Fahrenheit flips to negative, you’re ready to express some big feelings about how fucking cold it is.
