    Kelvin was developed from Celsius. The only difference is that 0° is based on absolute 0 (because it’s logical and constant) rather than the rough freezing point of water (a vague and inconsistent reference point). Every degree change in one unit is exactly the same change in the other.

      And the meme is exactly about not having the same 0 point

      Except Kelvin aren’t degrees (e.g. it’s just 273’15K not 273’15°K). But a change of one Kelvin is indeed equivalent to a change of one degree Celsius.
