Heat Index in Brazil Hits 137F (58.5C)
It's official, red alerts have gone out across the entire country of Brazil as the heat index hits 137F. The high temperature combined with humidity has made it impossible for most people to carry out their normal lives. There's already reports of power outages. People can't work. They can't run errands. They can barely sleep. It's not even summer there yet.
They actually said this would happen.
And yet, we go directly to our graves.
It seems we want to be dead.
It's a prisoner's dilemma; you'll be dead even faster if you're the first to fight back.
Look to the people who said this. They are calling for revolution, I think we have to start seriously organizing for it this time.

Brazil
Still uses F first
Wat
Royal Society fellow Daniel Fahrenheit consents to the use of his preluding temperature scale.
Fucking Murika making shit harder for everyone
Yeah like I don't know how many swimming pools worth of heat it is
Yeah, let's burn some more rain forest and see whether it helps.
It definitely doesn't help but it's not the reason either
What is extremely sad is that Brazil has relatively very low emission and consumption rates
The rich dicks around, the poor pays the price
Per capital sucks for these stats but the rainforest isn’t about contributing CO2 it’s about capturing it
Burn forest, plant fields, too hot for fields, .. ., no profits!
That can be as low as 34C, with 90% humidity. I'm not trying to make it less of a problem, just trying to tune the clickbait down from 11.
Fuck humidity though. I can't stand it.
It was 42.5 degrees.
Ok, 42.5 I wouldn't personally survive in any humidity. My suffering season starts when it hits 28 outside.
Coming from a place that sees -40c to +40c almost every year, I can confirm this is not clickbait
Shit I worked with a guy from Oklahoma and mid August we were working near Toronto (Ontario) and he couldn't take the heat and it was only 30 without the humidity.
That shit ain't no joke
As someone who feels 34 is as hot as I can handle it and it only qualifies if there is a fuckton of humidity Ill take the bait.
All hail market capitalism!
Turns out muh free market IS the solution to all human crises.
Can't have human crises without humans, after all.
Thanks for the comment. It said everything I think and I won't have to rewrite the same thing.
Human blood should start cooking at 60°C if I remember well.
How the fuck did this article go from heat in Brazil to long covid research without any fucking bridge 🥲
I mean, I somewhat agree with the points its making and I'm heavily doubting the validity. When someone is not willing to further their own confirmation bias you really need to start asking questions.
It's November tho...Does Brazil not have a winter?
Southern Hemisphere. It's late spring there.
A lot of Brazil is in the tropics, so no, not winter kinda latitudes.
But Brazil also extends to something like 33° South, where winter starts in June.
Hmm, interesting 🤔
Winter in Brazil if from june to september, but honestly though it feels like there is one or two weeks of cold and the rest is just as hot as any day. I remember a year where I didn't wear long sleeved shirts or coats at all.
