100f is only 37 degrees c?

I’ve been to hoover damn where it was 44 Celsius and I loved it
Shouldn’t these monkeys be used to high temperatures? 37 doesn’t seem that high to me
Getting into 50s, that’s a different story

Look up what wet bulb temperatures mean, because no, you don’t love 44° Celsius at high humidity:
Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (131 °F). A reading of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure.

Thanks for telling me what I like and what my body is capable of! I had no idea

You may be a freak of nature. I can’t function if it’s over 30c.

Lol, yeah I’ve always loved the heat

37 is 98.6F. It’s the human body temperature.

Which would be relevant if we weren’t highly exothermic.

Yes…“over 100” means above that. At high humidity for long periods of time, it doesn’t have to be much above that temperature to kill

the worst part is this also applies to humans. We are COOKED.
