  1. Bruh whoever was coming up with the “it is American thing” must have been loyal to crown and trolled the fucked out the traitors, like wtf do you mean Fahrenheit is Polish and we don’t even used it xD? Hilarious. 

  2. Yet another outstanding Pole contributing to the USA’s society, after Epstein and Netanyahu

  3. I was hoping that at least one person would take 5 seconds to fact check this.

    German, born in Poland (Gdańsk) Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, who spent most of his life in the Netherlands invented it.

    So we all might argue the scale is German or Dutch, or at most it was invented by someone born in Poland, but it isn’t Polish, sorry

    Polish people really looked at Fahrenheits and said “the fuck is this shit, we trust this Celsius guy more”

    I infact live in poland, Farenheit infact lived in gdańsk, which belonged to Poland at the time but he was of a german heritage, so it is a German invention from Poland.

  6. The only thing Fahrenheit has going for it is that it’s easily divisible, between “body temp” and “brine.”
    96F -> 48F -> 24F -> 12F -> 6F -> 3F — you can’t do that with a 0-100 range.

    On the other hand… what solution proportions for “brine”? Whose body? At what pressure? It’s unscientific, compared to:
    0C – freezing point of water at 1 atm
    100C – boiling point of water at 1 atm

    On the third hand, when you set two points on a thermometer, they don’t even need to refer to anything. You just need the next thermometer to refer to the first one 🙂
