Seriously.
(lemmy.ca)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Never heard about °R and °RA before this meme
It's the Rankine. Some Scottish dude wanted to use Kelvin without using Kelvin. It's basically the Fahrenheit scale but with 0˚R set at absolute zero.
0˚R = 0K
and1˚R = 0K + 1˚F
From what I can gather, R and Ra are the same thing?
They are. The post could swap one of them out for Re or Rø instead and it would work, though

so, they meant °r probably

I had to look out up too!
I just learned about °Ré and °Rø and now my head hurts.
Now look into °De. It's upside down!

Why would you do this to me?
