    The universe is mostly empty space with an average temperature of like… 4 Kelvin or some shit. Why not use a system that reflects that? Oh, we do? Right. Celsius is Kelvin + 273.15.

      Are you made of mostly empty space? Your response does leave me questioning. Please aknowledge that you are made of 64% water and not 4°k nothing.

        I mean, yeah, we all are. That’s how atoms work.

        alternatively, yeah, mostly between his ears.

        Plese do not use Kelvin with a degree symbol. There ist no “degree Kelvin”.

            I don’t know why “techtarget” would be a credible source on Physics questions, but the SI convention, which is, according to Wikipedia, the “only system of measurement with an official status in nearly every country in the world, employed in science, technology, industry, and everyday commerce”, poses that “kelvin is never referred to nor written as a degree.”

            But I also made the mistake to write it as “Kelvin” instead of “kelvin”.

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
