The Troll scale.
>Water freezes at 69 trolls
>Boils at negative 420 trolls
Keep in mind, there is absolutely no reason why we can't have a temperature scale where this is valid.

0 F = feels really cold, 100 F = feels really hot
0 C = feels a bit cold, 100 C = dead
0 K = dead, 100 K = dead

they're stuck in this bizarre world where they unironically believe in this reddit söyboy scientist caricature, when in reality it's just normal people as opposed to a bunch of weirdos stuck on some gnosticist discord server larping as philosophers and denying the material world(because they're losers in the material world)

Every scientist pre-1800 would laugh at your faith based belief in non-replicable "scientific" "experiments"
Real science: your t-levels are gone and coping about soijaks won't save you
Gnosticism is evil, material world is as real as spiritual world, and Christ is King

You have no education in science, maths, engineering or medicine
You are polluting the science, maths, engineering and medicine board
Your opinions and thoughts are literally worthless and are only protected by the anonymity on this website
You are an irrelevant little nothing in the real world and will not leave a trace in it after your body dies and rots
Deep down you know that everything above is true, yet you will keep coping

Kek, you outed yourself as a retard. The beauty of scientists and mathematicians is we have ways to sniff you larpers out. It's easy, you can never defend your bunk.

Use the ideal gas law without temperature in Kelvin.

So... You agree that Fahrenheit is bullshit?

Quickest self own I've ever seen

>>12631362
you literally can't do anything in fahrenheit, enthalpy, ideal gas, gibbs, thermal expansion and pretty much everything that deals with heat or thermodynamics is in kelvin or celsius in ΔT cases because kelvin increments are equal to celsius. same case with physics, you aren't using toes and feet for a wavelength or acceleration or anything

>>12631480

uhh reddit moment

>>12631480
>celsius in ΔT cases because kelvin increments are equal to celsius
you can't do a ΔT with Fahrenheit because... ?
>you literally can't do anything in fahrenheit
if it needs to be an absolute temp then convert to rankine

triggering SI copelets is literally hilarious, as if units are a difficult thing to do if you're not using SI

Hahahaha even as someone who prefers Fahrenheit in daily life, this is hilarious.

>>12631566
this comic is perfect and demonstrates the engineer's pragmatic nature
1. if the mathematician can accurately measure the hypotenuse (and phi), why can he not just measure the height of the building instead?
2. physicist putting himself and others in danger by dropping an anvil from the top of a building, and forgetting to account for air resistance in his calculation
3. engineer using company money attains data with little effort

>>12631531
>you can't do a ΔT with Fahrenheit because... ?
fahrenheit and rankine both have different increments than Celsius. Fahrenheit increments were vaguely defined until the metric system and the entire imperial system was standardized by the metric system

>>12631620
>physicist putting himself and others in danger by dropping an anvil from the top of a building, and forgetting to account for air resistance in his calculation
that physicist is a retard. he could simply pick a smaller object and take into consideration its terminal velocity

>>12631095
PRAISE SATAN

>>12631711
well.. yeah.. and? that doesn't mean you can't use it if the units work, you are literally acting like the ideal gas law only works in SI

>>12631723
the best object he could use is his own body, that would work

>>12631819

thank me later

>>12630887
I propose a new temperature scale with two fixed points:
0 - absolute zero
1 - Planck temperature

>>12633002
>Implying Planck temperature has any meaning

>>12630887
Shit doesn't matter
Literally no measurement system matters because you always need to include arbitrary constants in real calculations. Even in metric.

>>12630910
>grug units good

>>12631819
yes this implies that imperial units don't work. if all laws were originally decided in imperial system then yeah maybe it would work but they weren't. some minor stuff engineer tards use have an imperial variant. the reason all scientists adapted imperial is that units are clearly defined, the imperial system varied a lot until it defined its units by the metric system.

>>12630910
100 C air temp is perfectly fine you dingus, does your hand burn if you take something out of the oven or do you die in a sauna?

>>12631169
>Has an Engineering degree
>still thinks college is a scam
>for a good paying career that requires a degree
who's actually retarded here, then?

>>12634281
you are a retard
see >>12633511

>>12634311
you are also a giant retard
if you actually stuck your hand in 100 C air it would literally scald
you can put your hand in an oven because when you open the oven door the oven air is exposed to room temp air and mixes, lowering the air temp (this is why you don't want to open your oven when baking something, see >>>/ck/ )

>>12634327
most college degrees are scams
engineering is an actual thing that does necessitate a college education (because engineers need to know what they're doing so people don't die), but you're still subjected to a lot of the scam shit anyway - predatory loans, textbook prices (freshies don't know about international and used editions), mandatory housing and meal plan, etc.

>>12630939
>>Fahrenheit: inapplicable in all physics equations
utterly false. thanks for confirming you've never taken a thermodynamics class. the imperial equivalent (and most based) absolute temperature scale is Rankine, btw

>>12630887

I'm triggered.
>USA side literally uses SI

If that's a troll image, well done. Literally everything in it is fucking garbage.

>>12636629
you wanna see a real toll image?

>>12636629
>you need special units to use prefixes
All the pro-SI fags are a part of the 'I fuckin luv science' crowd who think they can signal their smartness by supporting SI. None of them will ever realize that graduate physics books don't even use SI.

Since Celsius is centered around the more practical 0C, you need to visualize the "daily practical range" as -50C to 50C. Same 100 steps, and unlike Fahrenshit it actually encompasses the near-entirety of all temperatures experienced by anyone in daily life anywhere. The "0-100F" meme doesn't even hold in America, where lots of places regularly exceed and go below 100F/0F, respectively.

>>12634377
the imperial system literally wasn't defined until 1960. a foot could be 20cm or 60cm. the imperial system was DEFINED BY FUCKING METRIC UNITS. the metric system is superior because it was made to eliminate variation. the metric is defined by physical constants and it's constantly improving. in fact despite all the technological progress and new definitions the meter length has barely changed

>>12637032
>temperature is only a relevant piece of data for figuring out what i need to wear today
nice try anon. even if i were to take your bait, most places in US do have heating and cooling design temps somewhere between 0-100 F, or within a few degrees. and the locations that are outliers would tend to have lower populations anyway since people generally aren't comfortable living in more extreme climates.

>>12637688
ok? i don't need you to explain the history of units to me. I can use SI or imperial without being a bleeding pussy shill for either. In the US, engineers use both depending on what the prevalent units are in whatever industry we're working in. try telling the gas company that you need 1000 kW gas service at your building, that will go well.
