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.
Probably can be assumed based on geographic context. People say degrees without specifying all the time. If you were in the US, you could probably assume a Farenheit radians scale unless otherwise specified, just like degrees are usually Farenheit outside of scientific applications. The same could be said for most other places in the world and Celsius. It would still likely be specified on things like cooking instructions, etc. Scale ambiguity wouldn’t be a big problem, since we already deal with that okay with “degrees.”
Again, I cannot stress enough how pointless I know this is. There is no reason to try to use radians to describe temperature, and many reasons not to. Just saying the conversion between temperature degrees and “temperature radians” would be pretty simple and easy to adopt, given the framework already exists for angles. If there was any reason to adopt it, that is.
Isn’t radians a measure of angles, or am I not getting the joke?
That was the joke, which I was trying to help further by pretending that there was nothing wrong with that.
Who are you so wise in the ways of science?
The joke is because of “degrees” (also to measure angles) and “radians”

You have to specify radians fahrenheit for that so we don’t confuse it with radians Celsius and blacken the thing.

Except temperature degrees aren’t related angle degrees. You’d be using a pun as a unit conversion.
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
Not sure if amused or horrified.
