    By that metric, kelvin would be even better though.

            This is why I say ‘metre’ for the measure and ‘meter’ for the measurement device

        In point of fact Americans have gotten impressive results out of far more complicated metrics than metric. It’s not a matter of understanding, it’s a matter of pride. And of not having to buy all new tools.

      You miss out on screaming that it’s negative anything though.

          Kelvin doesn’t have a negative.

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

          0 for freezing because water falls from the fucking sky.

        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.

      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!

      You mean it’s THREE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN FUCKING DEGREES OUTSIDE?!

      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.
