Let no one accuse me of being a competent artist or comedian.

A three-panel meme. The first says "Fahrenheit" and an image of Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. The second says "0° Fahrenheit" and combines a cold-looking blue-tinted version of the image of Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit with a common meme image of a frozen person. The third says "90° Fahrenheit" and shows a sweltering, red-tinted Fahrenheight combined with a well-known sweating person meme image. The third image is also rotated a quarter turn counter-clockwise.

What even is zero Fahrenheit? Isn’t it some random point above freezing that is cold but not that cold?

    it's a pretty interesting science experiment. it was the temperature of a mix of water, ice and ammonium chloride, which forms a eutectic mixture that stabilises itself at the temperature that fahrenheit chose as zero.

    ...he didn't write down the amounts he used though.
