        But seriously though, who the Hell has ever used Rankine? The SI system of measurement is older than the discovery of absolute zero, so there was never a reason for that bastard unit of measurement to exist in the first place, except to be a contrarian asshole.

          Maybe over there, they use it to give temperature differences a proper unit. Where we use Kelvin, they probably use degree Rankine.
