I was replying to a (now gone) post on how Kelvin is for science, Fahrenheit for humans ,and Celsius is useless. It should give a perspective how to get from Kelvin to Celsius, not give a wildly off-topic history lesson.

You put a normal Celsius thermometer next to it and apply maths.
Did it never occur to you that Celsius is basically Kelvin with the zero point moved to human reference?
Human reference because >50% of our body is water. We are essentially water bags.
Scholars seem to agree it stems from Proto-Indo-European, so Latin is not the source.
Pteryx means wings, hence the joke doesn’t fly.
Let’s have a guess what country that guy lives in. 😉 The post with the most upvotes wins.
Commendable that she does this but sad that this is even necessary.
Never came across any veneration of Bismarck. It may be a conservative thing.
It’s probably similar to Republicans worshipping Reagan. (Although Bismarck actually achieved stuff while Reagan just lived at the same time as Gorbatschow)
Never heard anything like it anywhere else. Modern Germany is just 74 years old, so the founders didn’t live in a completely different world. Still there is no similar reverence.
The constitution, even when it was not considered a constitution for reasons, is revered similarly to the US one though.
I guess the tree branch needs to start somewhere, but why leave out amphibians?
