    thats likely true, but looking at this screenshot, a link to an article on ko-fi for fucks sake…

    wet bulb isn’t just temperature at all, its humidity and temp combined, to where your perspiration cannot cool you. saying wet bulb is 94F is silly when there are temps of 110 in places in the US and swaths of people arent dying in un-airconditioned apartments by the hundreds…

    I am 100% sure human caused climate change is real, and I’m 100% certain we’re in a lot worth trouble than we like to think, but this post is garbage

      95° wet bulb is the heat index equivalent of ~160°, which exceeds the highest air temp ever recorded by ~30°. You can’t really compare it to temps of 110°.

        sorry dude, I didn’t realize what community I was commenting in, honestly.

        In all honesty, you couldn’t pay me to live in the south of the US. I just drove through rural NC a few weeks ago and holy fucking shit…

        I hear you though, thanks for clarifying

      How can you say wet bulb and temperature in the same sentence and not realize they are separate measurements?
