  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.

        My guy, you’re not some mega special advanced human that can somehow live in higher wet-bulb temperatures than everyone else. You’d die just like me and any other human.

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