It's not mysterious that they meet somewhere. These are linear functions so they can't help but meet at exactly one point (or zero if they were parallel)

If they were parallel they wouldn't meet. See °C and K
I meant "meet at zero points" so they don't meet. Maybe my wording wasn't perfectly clear
Ah right, for some reason I couldn't read it properly. My bad
Dude I hope that what you said does not have sense at all.
Elaborate
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
Yeah but two non-parallel linear functions only intersect once.
... Which is less often than a clock.
That's what your reality is capable of perceive
It's a tautology that non parallel linear functions don't intersect more than once. It's in the definition.
Can someone explain the joke?
-40°C = -40°F
They intersect at that point for mysterious nature reasons
Aaah, thanks!
Is this nature's fault, though? Isn't it us humans measring stuff? 😸
It's time to unify ethnics to win the battle of the glaciar end of the world.
Both water and humans agree, -40° is very cold
