    Math checks out. Did you have a point?

      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

            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.

              Lmao… Ok, so I’m wrong about enjoying 40 degrees celcius.

              All you downvoters need to seriously reexamine your lives, it’s sad.

                You didn’t read properly, I was specifically talking about high humidity. That’s the situation the monkeys who have died were in. Temperatures feel completely different based on the humidity - 35°C at 100% humidity is equivalent to 71°C at 0% humidity.

                  Ok, yeah I agree about the humidity aspect; that’s an insane temperature for any living creature.

                  But I never said I can stay in 40+ degrees with high humidity either.

                    I never said that you said so. I was simply telling you why the monkeys died at “only 37°C”, and why you wouldn’t enjoy 44°C in comparable conditions.

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