-40F 🤝 -40C

Even a broken clock is right twice day.

Fun fact!
-
isn't it strange how they match up at such an exact number
-
Funny how the imperial system matches at oddly exact numbers with the metric system... Strange indeed.

Pedantry:
K and °R agree on 0
K and °C agree on the unit difference
°F and °R agree on the unit difference
°R and °Ra are the exact same thing (??)-
Celsius and Fahrenheit agree on -40, but since they're scales that scale at different rates there's bound to be some value where they intersect rather than some meaningful number like Kelvin and Rankine being zeroed to Absolute Zero
-
Same with 574.59°F = 574.59K
-
Two lines which are not perpendicular will meet at one point?

-
Also Rankine, being an absolute scale, theoretically shouldn't be in ° anything, and it's only some weird historical quirk that is the reason it usually is called degrees.
-
I am not sure I follow that. The scale is always relative right? It’s just the zero that’s absolute. But that’s also the case with measuring angles where we do use the degree symbol.

I think °R is supposed to be Réaumur
