*Eagle Cheeseburgers
We use two °° symbols because they remind us of bitchin’ truck exhaust pipes.
Nothing is quite so American as truck nuts.
Also bitchin' tits.
Fake degrees are imaginary numbers.
All numbers are made up. Celsius is no less fake than farenheit. They are both derived from actual physical processes (an amount of energy required to change the temperature of a specific amount of water), just using different units.
Yeah, the freezing point of a random solution, and the perceived temperature of the human body makes as much sense as the freezing and boiling point of water for reference. Kelvin is objectively better, but centigrade is immediately understandable as it uses easily understandable reference points.
Ok cool.
