This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
RULES
1 - Remember the human

Yesterday I tried to explain wet bulb to my family cause they’re outdoorsy and not used to thinking about dangerously hot conditions.
Did not receive the best response but at least they will recognize the term now.
Most people have no clue and need to be educated on these things. You did the right thing!
I have no clue and would like to be educated on the subject, could you possibly tell me the best place to read up on this is?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature summarizes it quite well. It's basically when your sweat no longer cools you through evaporative cooling.
