Fahrenheit? ๐Ÿฅถ

Celsius? ๐Ÿฅต

Kelvin?? โšฐ๏ธ

[โ€“] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 61 points 1 month ago

well ackshually it can't be kelvin since that can't be in degrees

[โ€“] DramaOppa@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (5 children)

34 Celsius isn't that hot. It's normal temperature in many countries

[โ€“] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 1 month ago

-30C is a normal temperature in many countries, doesn't make it any less miserable

[โ€“] WR5@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

It would definitely cause the sweating the symbol indicates, at least for me. I would call it hot.

Normality in some countries means little when it happens somewhere it's unexpected and people aren't used to it. Not only is acclimatization a thing, meaning that people who genuinely aren't used to these temperatures suffer more from them, it's also relevant how the local culture handles high temperatures.

Where it's normally very hot or very cold, infrastructure, daily routine and other culturally influenced elements provide for relief in some form. Texas suffered immensely under a cold period that other places in the world would consider utterly unremarkable, simply because it is utterly beyond what had been anticipated.

Telling people in those situations that something isn't that hot/cold is a bit callous.

We don't know where OP's father lives so it's kinda hard to think of 34ยฐ as anything particularly remarkable without any context. It's 41ยฐ where I am right now.

[โ€“] KoboldOfArtifice@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, much of the world does live in areas where 34 degrees Celsius are genuinely problematic and where homes are not suited to providing decent living conditions.

The fact that you don't immediately consider that temperature a problem given your personal circumstances doesn't mean that you should assume that it's not a problem for them. Your comment made it seem like you were trying to make light of it.

Where I live, 34 degrees is well past the point where we'd get major national emergency warnings from the government warning of the danger that the current heat poses. I'm curious how people in your area deal with 41 degrees though, that sounds brutal to me personally. I assume it'd at least be a low humidity heat?

Yes, it's very dry where I am.
My thought isn't that 34ยฐ is (or isn't) a problem, rather that without knowing where it is it doesn't really mean very much. If OP is in Dubai or northern Mexico or something then ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ 34 sounds pretty normal. I just think the post would make more sense with some context.
It's always 34ยฐ somewhere in the world.

People can die in that heat. People have died from that heat this year.

It's normal in my hometown but still definitely hot

Seeing these comments, it appears we've reached the point in time when the younger generations don't know what rule 34 is.

No I do lol, I just didn't make the connection

[โ€“] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh we do, but the joke has long since outlived its funniness.

[โ€“] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

at this point it's not even a joke anymore but an actual term to reference nsfw art. it's a fucking genre lmao

[โ€“] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm just disappointed that you didn't use 69ยฐ or 420ยฐ

The temp isn't fake

No but seriously idk

Edit: no I don't know why my phone decided to cut out the bottom of the image but not crop out the black pixels. Yes phone, that's exactly what I wanted.

[โ€“] ItsGhost@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Rule 34 perhaps? Meaning there must be porn of a car infotainment system out there somewhere

Based off of OPโ€™s handle, this is well in line with their name

[โ€“] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

ig 4ยฐ (s(h)itting person)

[โ€“] Wilzax@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Ahhh the entertainment center of 2011-2014 ford hatchbacks was truly something else, wasn't it?

[โ€“] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Bah, I miss my Flex.

Not its infotainment center nor its rather shameful "powered by Microsoft" emblem, though.

Who's Lolo?
