It's literally a vibe... 0 is an arbitrary number just as much as 32, 69 or 420 is. Your just up your own ass like most people are when it comes to C vs F. Both systems suck, both systems are fucking retarded, both systems are entirely bullshit vibes based nonsense till you give them an arbitrary attachment point to something.
They are literally by definition relative scales. It's literally worthless nonsense with out a reference point. And in that regard F and C are literally the EXACT same thing. One just has a more fine scale while the other is more coarse.
The only scale that isn't 100% vibes based is kelvin.
The comparison was to "pretty cold for a human". That's a lot more vibey than "it's when water freezes". That's at least something solid (heh).
Also coverting C to kelvin or vice versa is just an offset, not some weird arbitrary formula...
Good point. Instead of Kelvin, lets go back to Rankine.
0 F is when a brine formula freezes at sea level. It's not any more vibey. The utility is vibey, but that's almost always the case.
However, neither 0F or 0C are actually defined as what we say. 0F is not the freezing point of brine, and 0C is not the freezing point of water. They're defined in terms of Kelvin, which is not vibey.
The utility was what we were talking about.
