The Three-Headed Dragon Of Temperature Scales

The Three-Headed Dragon Of Temperature Scales
temperature-memes, science-memes, kelvin-memes, celsius-memes, fahrenheit-memes | ScienceHumor.io

The temperature scale hierarchy in one perfect meme! Kelvin and Celsius, the serious scientific standards, glaring menacingly while Fahrenheit is just... well, doing its own ridiculous thing. This perfectly captures how most scientists view these scales - Kelvin starting at absolute zero (very logical), Celsius based on water's phase changes (reasonable), and then there's Fahrenheit over there based on... *checks notes*... brine, ice, and the approximate temperature of some guy's armpit in the 1700s. And yet America clings to it like it's their last French fry. The title's subtle jab at Rankine (the Fahrenheit equivalent of Kelvin) is just *chef's kiss* - because honestly, who even remembers that scale exists outside of thermodynamics exams?
