me happy about the cold winter, happy earth can cool down for a moment

Am I missing something here or is OP not aware that winter isn't everywhere at the same time, and that tropical regions don't follow these "classical" (for lack of a better term) seasons at all?

Obviously climate change is bad and all that, but the upper caption makes no sense.

I live near the arctic circle... it's usually -25°C by now... it's +8° today.

We're so fucked 🙃

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And nobody listens. I make point after point about everything and it gets down voted...even here on Lemmy. Yup. So fucked in the entirely opposite meaning of that word. Zero productivity here. Ever again. And we're talking years, not decades.

Is this Celsius or Fahrenheit? In Brazil it's late spring now, since it is on the southern hemisphere.

[–] qooqie 59 points 1 year ago

What the fuck that's terrifying

I can hear Arizonians saying "Yeah but it's dry heat"...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

no it aint lol

[–] Gabu 5 points 1 year ago

There's only one region in Brazil where dry weather is common, and that ain't it.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The comments under this post are a great indicator of how much U.S. defaultism has ruined online conversations. Fucking Fahrenheit weirdos.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't forget op doesn't know it's summer in the southern hemisphere, and my english sucks, lol.

[–] Metatronz 9 points 1 year ago

I thought that was the joke. Of course the whole planet isn't cold all at once.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I think it's more indicative of how absurd 60° celsius is that it seems like it must be Fahrenheit.

[–] DaMonsterKnees 7 points 1 year ago

Easy mate, I neither made nor voted on the fucking thing.

We don't use freedom units in Brazil

[–] Alivrah 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's right; Brazil uses C⁰ (Caralh⁰) units.

For example, 60⁰ is "hot pra Caralh⁰"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Likewise, many temperatures can be considered "frio pra caralho", but it's a phrase one should never utter near a Curitibano

The heat index — a combination of temperature and humidity — hit 58.5 degrees Celsius (137 Fahrenheit) Tuesday morning in Rio, the highest index ever recorded there. Actual temperatures dropped slightly on Wednesday, but were forecast to rise again to 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) on Thursday.

Yeah, that's Celsius.

Brazil is so tall it has like 6 different climatic regions. 5 of them are currently a burning oven and the other one is drowning in constant rainstorms and cyclones.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Either way I'm gonna be wet all the time, be it rain or sweat.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Or.... nevermind.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

thats what she said last night

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was a bit confused before checking the comments and thought that the meme is saying that 60° F is considered too cold for Brazil. I didn't even consider 60° C as a possibility.

C'mon, guys, it's not that ba-

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

And I thought dark-red is the hottest color.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I blame Ryan Gosling.

Also, it would be late spring in Brazil right now, since it is in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia.

[–] Gabu 4 points 1 year ago

Late spring in São Paulo is supposed to feel comfortable, at most 30°C and mild rains. We're experiencing summer temperatures of 38°C+ and torrential storms. We're fucked.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I blame Ryan Gosling.

Username checks out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That's because it's my name, silly!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Those seasons make little sense here, to be fair. In the midwest, winter is hot and dry, summer is hot and rainy. Autumn and Spring are just inbetweens.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Cold winter? We used to get blizzards in October here, now we barely get any snow at all throughout the entirety of winter, and it's frequently warm enough to be comfortable outside in nothing but a shirt and shorts.

I swear every single year people forget how actually mild winter has become. It got down to -50F here once years ago thanks to the polar vortex and ever since most everyone starts on how "it's gonna be a really cold winter this year" everytime it drops to the fucking 40-50F range. When you point out they said the same thing last year and it was even milder than when they said it 2 years ago, they often just double down being willfully ignorant and insist last winter was "soooo bad" despite it being warmer on average than Fall was 15 years ago.

[–] ilovesatan 7 points 1 year ago

It's just an el nino year! /s

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would you be hoping for a cold winter in brazil right now? We're nearing summer.

[–] Gabu 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Our summers aren't supposed to be anywhere near this hot, and it's still spring.

[–] Siegfried 5 points 1 year ago

Its still fucking spring and im getting sun burns just from the ten minutes walk to my job, what the fuck is happening.
