        That was the joke, which I was trying to help further by pretending that there was nothing wrong with that.

        I mean, you could just convert the Farenheit or Celsius degrees to radians like they were angle degrees. “Bake at 6.109 radians for 45 minutes” still can mean “Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes” if you accept the implicit Farenheit scale. Radians would still be ambiguous regarding the base scale used, but it’s as ambiguous as “degrees” is so not really an issue.

        So I mean, there’s no real reason to do it but also no reason you can’t.

          You have to specify radians fahrenheit for that so we don’t confuse it with radians Celsius and blacken the thing.

          Except temperature degrees aren’t related angle degrees. You’d be using a pun as a unit conversion.

            Oh they’re unrelated, and it’s a pointless conversion I know.

            Technically speaking these would be unrelated radians under the same name measuring different units. But you could still do it if you really wanted

    My scale for expressing mean kinetic energy flux is superior to your scale for expressing mean kinetic energy flux. I have formed an identity around this and will smugly argue about it on the internet.

      Hey now, I don’t argue for Celsius, I just argue against people saying Fahrenheit is better for silly reasons.

      Joules is unfortunately a vector because it’s over a distance in a direction. Temperature is a scalar. Sometimes scalars are better than vectors.

      Edit:Ok for those who don’t actually understand joules in its units J=KG•M2/s2 or N•D, it’s force which is a vector over a distance, this requires a magnitude and direction. This is because force is a vector and Joules is using force. All of you are starting to be confidently incorrect… Joules is a vector you can search it up.

        What? Joule is an energy unit and energy is a scalar quantity and not a vector. There is no “energy direction” and no “distance”.

        Edit: even your edit doesn’t make sense. Provide a source that says that energy or joule is somehow a vector.
