it's not about what makes more sense: what makes more sense is what you use everyday and is natural to you. 40+ C is freaking hot because when you experience it, it's freaking hot. It's about what the entire rest of the world is using as a standard.

Metric system is best system, no exceptions.

Anything over 40°C is fuckin' hot, anything under 4°C is fuckin' cold.

Anything over 31°C on a humid day is torture. As someone without AC, being indoors is the worst. What do you? Play games? Your devices heat up too.

My PC kept my room warm all winter, I now dread the incoming sun. Thank God for AC. Sorry for your loss there sir.

Are ACs not viable for you? I don't know I could do without one, sounds scary.

I live in the UK, getting an AC is not a matter to be discussed in polite company. Doing so upsets the queen and brings the Yankees to the door.

Yankees are easy to deal with, I certainly don't want to be the reason her highness turns in her grave.

Betcha the queen had AC.

Her Highness sleeps with her window open, as evidenced by the various night strangers who climb in through her bedroom window for a chat.

I'd argue anything over 30°C is hot, but yes.

you can only be living in a dry as fuck area if your fuckin hot threshold is at 40

Thankfully I am, but I was born and raised on the coast, so I know the pain of a 44°C day at close to 100% humidity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Curious where you live, 4C would be just below t-shirt weather for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

honestly in most of europe even thirty degrees is fucking hot, here in the nordics 25°C is considered too hot
