Fun fact, -40C and -40F are the same temperature.

Then 575K and 575F are the same.

Also -40C / -40F and 575K / 575F is the temperature of the center and edges of a hot pocket.

I hate to be the good time ruiner, but unlike -40, itโ€™s not on the nose.

Still, really cool that itโ€™s as close a conversion as it is.

Itโ€™s a system of linear equations that has an intersection point. It may not be exactly at 575, but they do intersect. Solving the equation gives 574.589, depending on how many decimal points you round to. So 575 is accurate enough within integer rounding.

So youโ€™re saying, that we should switch to specifying every temperature as a nice 69 and just switch out the unit?

I mean it is literally below freezing so even if youโ€™re the tough kid wearing shorts in the winter the above depiction is not inaccurate.

Yeah, but the other two cold ones are unsurvivable weather. 21F is very survivable.

I didnโ€™t see that SpongeBob ep but if it was the ocean it wouldnโ€™t be frozen at 21 F

Only if itโ€™s windy and cloudy. A calm sunny day at 21f is fine for walking around in shirtsleeves.

Depends on how acclimated you are. Right now, for me, Iโ€™d be freezing, but if you caught me when I lived in North Dakota, sure.

Yeah North Dakota was nuts. Once it finally hit 40ยฐ F in May, people started wearing t-shirts.
