    I think it's 38 degrees celsius for Americans too. But I'm not quite sure, could also be 2 ounces, their system is kind of weird.

    Really had to do a double take. Like, what the fuck, the ocean is boiling, it can't be that be that bad, right? Then it clicked that you're using that weird Fahrenheit system.

    Yes, sorry, it's weird. Celsius is easy - water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 and there we go..

    As an American this is how I interpret Celsius

    • 100 is boiling
    • 50 is you're gonna die from heat exhaustion eventually
    • 40 is hot
    • 30 is a little warm
    • 20 is a little cool
    • 10 is cold
    • 0 is freezing

    As a Norwegian:

    • 100 is boiling
    • 40 is we all gonna die
    • 30 is hot
    • 20 is a little warm
    • 10 is a little cool
    • 0 is cold
    • -5 is maybe time for a jacket
    • -10 shit, it's freezingly cold outside!
    • -15 I'll stay indoors if I can

    If only someone had been warning us about this for the past 40 years.

    If only that someone had won the popular vote over 20 years ago leaving the deciding electoral votes to Florida with the narrowest of margins (hundreds of votes, by the certified count) giving it the ability to choose its own fate in a historically close election.

    The number one alternate timeline I'd like to see is if Gore had become president in 2000. Even more than if the Nazis had won WWII or if Caesar hadn't gone to the senate that day.

    (I'd also like to see the world if the spanish armada had taken a different course back in 1588 and avoided that typhoon though..)

    There is a scene in the book Ministry of the Future where there is a wet bulb event in India and tons of people flocked to the water to cool down. The water was also like 100°F so the waterways ended up being filled with dead bodies that does from being too hot.

    Looks like we may not be very far from that...

    Not everyone in Florida deserves this, but a lot of them do.

    As the arctic ice continues to accelerate it's thaw, water levels will rise a foot in the next 30years. This is going to continue as temperatures rise. Better move to higher ground Florida. Your state will look like Atlantis in the next 100-200years.

    No see, governor rick scott (Republican) banned his administration from using the term climate change, just like governor desantis (also Republican, surprise surprise) banned covid. So Florida is safe from both of those without any action required. Freedom!

    It will be continuously wrecked by heat and storms in the mean time. 100 years is now beyond being only a highly optmistic timeline for these places.

    It's like that meme about a high voltage station. It will not only die but suffer a lot while dying.
