Sweet convergence.

I came across a scientific fact tonight that I find quite interesting and almost as bowel-loosening as a digital clock reading 12.34, a happening that keeps on giving. I discovered (though I’m sure you knew this already and are quite unimpressed) that -40 degrees in Celsius is also -40 degrees in Fahrenheit. This is the point where the two scales converge and I’m only finding out now.

I didn't know that. I'll keep it in mind in case it ever comes up in a quiz.

@JudyEv That’s the only place it’s likely to come in handy.

Haha that's such a random fun fact but I love it, never actually thought about that before now. -40 being the same in both is kinda wild ngl. Now I'm gonna randomly think about this every time it's freezing out lol.
