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.

[–] FooBarrington 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FooBarrington 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

Sure, fair enough
