Absolute zero is almost always colder than sub-zero.

                        Well. Sub-zero is a range. 0K, or absolute zero, is sub 0°C. So sub zero can be equal to absolute zero in one instance of the range.

                          I think they’re making a Kelvin joke.

                              What about relative zero?

                                  relative zero is an even number! There I said it, and I don’t care what any of you think of me.

                                  This lead me to wondering: Do the Fahrenheit people talk about sub-zero as well?!

                                  I had never thought of that possibility. 0 degrees is just generally cold, but -17,778 degrees is already in the area of “seriously cold”.

                                  A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

                                  Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

                                  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
                                  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
                                  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

                                  Rules

                                  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
                                  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
                                  3. No politics
                                    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
                                    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
                                  4. Posts must be original/unique
                                  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

                                  If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

                                  Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
