Comic strip of a ghost and a person with the American flag pasted on the head. The ghost repeats “Boo!” in the first three panels without getting any reaction, but when it in the fourth panel says “kg, cm, km, °C” the American gets scared and screams “AHHHH!!!”.

    I mean… I could say the same thing about Celsius and it would make the exact same amount of sense.

      It has never been literally boiling outside (except for when you’re in the middle of a forest fire or next to a lava flow).

      Besides, Fahrenheit is more scientific because it translates 1:1 to Rankine, where 0 is absolute zero.

        Percent of what, exactly? It has been a lot more than 100 Fahrenheit and a lot less than 0.

        Edit: Kelvin is the scientific standard with 0 at absolute zero, and that translates directly to Celsius.

            Are you just trolling? “100% hot out” literally doesn’t mean anything.

            Edit: Ah, I see :P

            But the human body temp isn’t 100 °F, though
