        I mean, you could just convert the Farenheit or Celsius degrees to radians like they were angle degrees. “Bake at 6.109 radians for 45 minutes” still can mean “Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes” if you accept the implicit Farenheit scale. Radians would still be ambiguous regarding the base scale used, but it’s as ambiguous as “degrees” is so not really an issue.

        So I mean, there’s no real reason to do it but also no reason you can’t.

            Oh they’re unrelated, and it’s a pointless conversion I know.

            Technically speaking these would be unrelated radians under the same name measuring different units. But you could still do it if you really wanted

    Joule is the best unit you can literally apply it to everything because it’s essentially a raw unit of energy.

        Joules is unfortunately a vector because it’s over a distance in a direction.

        What? Joule is an energy unit and energy is a scalar quantity and not a vector. There is no “energy direction” and no “distance”.

        Edit: even your edit doesn’t make sense. Provide a source that says that energy or joule is somehow a vector.

          Please, someone fix the meme. Joule x a vector (represented by angles measured in radians).

    My scale for expressing mean kinetic energy flux is superior to your scale for expressing mean kinetic energy flux. I have formed an identity around this and will smugly argue about it on the internet.

      Hey now, I don’t argue for Celsius, I just argue against people saying Fahrenheit is better for silly reasons.
