That's $147,600,032 in Fahrenheit.

I had to double check the math, but you are indeed correct!

Accounting for inflation, it'd be about $2,483,403,742.37 Kelvin.

Wouldn't it be 102,500,273.15 Kelvin, including inflation?

Why do you think that?

Accounting for inflation from 1913, which is actually after Lord Kelvin died, but it's not a terrible approximation, we get about a 2998% inflation.

But that's just with USD.

It'd actually be more realistic to use the British pound. So, accounting for inflation from 1909, it'd be about 10,109,866,311.27 GBP. That'd actually end up at around 12,479,618,974.63 USD, about 6 times my original value.

Because the court case is from 2014.

That would be like accounting for the Earth's position in 1666 to calculate where orbital bodies are now. The measurements and laws may have been discovered in past times, but the calculations don't get pinned to those dates.

Way more than 50 Cent and hotter than an Ice Cube in a glass of Ice T

I had no idea that Flo Rida was a rapper and Celsius was a company suing him for breach of contract or something. I thought this was a joke about another DeSantis stunt, mandating that in-state temperatures could ONLY be cited in Fahrenheit.

Only reason I clicked, really.
