Kelvin mostly seems to be used to measure unimaginably hot (like ovens, metal forges, stars) or unimaginably cold (e.g. planets beyond Mars) things, Fahrenheit still exists only because the US Congress was lazy (though as an American I do find it somewhat useful for comparing weather and Earth’s climate zones in finer detail than just -1 in winter and 28 in summer), and I’ve never heard of that last one.
Kelvin is useful in physics because it’s always positive, reducing the amount of shenanigans.
Just looked at the Wikipedia page. What is the reason for so many fucking scales?
Different people deciding at different times that they need to measure temperature for something specific and then varying degrees of adoption.
Yeah that sums it up thanks
Is there any research on which xkcds are cited most often?
