Ah yes.

Using the Celsius scale offset by ~273.15 must be the most galaxy brain shit I've ever seen.

The meme is that room temperature in kelvin is a bigger number than in Celsius and Fahrenheit

It's so odd to use that expression in Fahrenheit though. 70 is by definition just as likely as 130.

I went to a school where the admission requirement by law is IQ 130, and it's not like you'd see the kids as fundamentally different from you if you're within 1std of the mean (85-115, which is 68% of the population).

An IQ of nearly 300 seems pretty galaxy brain imo.

Celsius came before we invented absolute zero. What else were we supposed to do?
