0 Celsius: Water freezes
0 Kelvin: Absolute zero0 Fahrenheit:

~-40 C = -40 F. Although Metric>>>>imperial.
0°F is the warmest allowed temperature for freezing food in the service industry. We measure with Celsius here so I only recently found out that -18°C = -0.4°F which is just about 0°F. I was looking at some cases of food we store in the freezer and noticed it said “store at -18°C (0°F) or colder”. I doubt that’s the actual reason for 0°F being what it is, but it is a practical use case for that temperature.
Celsius died in 1744, but according to Fahrenheit, that will only happen in 3171.
Both died with 42º body temperature
Tycho Brahe died because it was impolite to go to the bathroom during a banquet, so his bladder burst.
The night before he died, he suffered from a delirium during which he was frequently heard to exclaim that he hoped he would not seem to have lived in vain.
Poor guy died of a UTI because he was too polite.
He’s Scandinavian allright.
Imagine having to clean up after a bladder explosion
Or a corpse at your fancy dinner party, for that matter.
