>>5137744
That is not really an answer as to where the idea of a lack of ability to get AC comes from.
I lived in Germany for two years back in the 90s and every house could be temp controlled in the summer.
Granted when I was visiting in France and Austria it was during colder months so I didnt notice, but now living in Spain I see AC over.
So I dont understand where this "Europe is afraid of or angry at AC" comes from, rather than "Europe is poor and prefers to write off the deaths instead of pay for it."

It is, the problem is that sharts were inculcated from an early age that their way is the best in the world and everyone else's is inferior. It's why there's so many on the Internet whose brains get broken at learning there's other ways of doing things. They short circuit, their error handling state takes over and they start screeching "NOPE WE'RE THE BEST USA USA USA". They're not going this as a shitpost, they're doing that because again they've been told they're the best all their lives. All the while worshiping billionaire pedophiles, continuing to fall behind European countries in academic benchmarks, and slowly suffocating their middle class.

Pretty cold and pretty hot
>>
>>5138096
thats subjective
>>
>>5137954
The main change - aside from just getting used to a specific range of numbers - is that Farenheit has smaller increments, so using it in the general range of temps offers more distinction.
Going from 75 degrees to 80 gives more nuance than going from 24 to 26.
>>
>>5137954
its not, its just as arbitrary
>>
>>5138331
Thats right. But, meh.If you really need it that specific, you can say 24,7.

>>5138335
What do you mean? Thats literally the opposite of arbitrary
>>
>>5138335
Are you retarded? The melting/freezing point of water especially is obviously very relevant when talking about the weather.
>>
>>5138339
>>5138336
it arbitrary because its still relative to specific conditions of atmosphere, its not a universal constant like an actual element, like 1 second is the half life of cesium 133 or kelvin measurements, water only boils at 100C at 1 atmosphere, which is the problem with metric system, its claims to be not arbitrary as imperial when its just as, it just uses different reference medium(and a shittier numeral system)
>>
>>5138344
you know what, thats actually fair criticism. I thought you were just trolling.But according to your concerns, Fahrenheit has even more levels of being arbitrary. Celsius is less arbitrary. At least Celsius is based on the Kelvin skala
>>
>>5138489
kelvin is based on celsius, but i can accept that because its based on the fact that zero is zero, you cant have negative heat
also i dont care about degrees of arbitrariness, it either is or isnt and metric is arbitrary
>>
>tfw I've spent multiple summers in south georgia and texas with air conditioning
Absolutely zero sympathy from me eurofriends.
If you've got a house try putting a box fan in an upstairs window blowing OUT, and a box fan on a downstairs window (north facing if possible) blowing IN. Its not going to keep you from sweating, but it will get some better airflow with cooler air being pulled inside while pushing out the hottest air.
If it isn't too humid you can get a big shallow pan, fill it with a bunch of ice, cover it in salt, and let a fan blow across it pointed at you. You'd be surprised at how effective your DIY swamp cooler can be in a pinch.
Also remember that the closer the temperature in the shade gets to your body temp, fans stop cooling you down, and it becomes a convection oven.
Freeze some wetted towels and put those around your neck.
After that, you just get some clear liquor and ice, and keep drinking until you don't feel the heat anymore.
>>
>>5138508
>you cant have negative heat
You can actually. I'm sure you can find a youtube video on it that can give you the net net better than I can. Its one of those things that will twist your brain a little until you look at it again and see the logic in it.
>>
>>5138344
>water only boils at 100C at 1 atmosphere
Which is how celsius is defined. 0 is the freezing point of water at exactly 1 atmosphere. So its very specific and exact and not arbitrary at all
>>
>>5138529
you cant go below absolute zero, absolute zero the absence of atomic movement, literally the whole basis of kelvin
>>
>>5138558
thats still arbitrary, because the state of the medium is still relative to its local conditions, and whatever that is is you preference, that is by definition arbitrary. it is no less arbitrary, that whatever mediums they used for the imperial system, because water freezes at 32C and 212F

>>5137954
>In what sensible way would you define 0 and 100 degrees? I think water is a reasonable reference point
Why do you need a "sensible" way to define the 0 and 100 points? It's entirely irrelevant to actually using it. It doesn't matter if a metre is based on the king's foot or one millionth of the equator or anything else, there's no point other than satisfying the autistic desires of a select few. The only reason metric is better than old measurements is ease of conversion but this is irrelevant for temperature, there's no actual tangible benefit to celsius over fahrenheit.

Yes anon, it is "hotter" than regular temperatures. Its about reversed energy states. I am not saying, that it is colder than zero. These are still negative values that are mathematically below zero
>>
>>5138621
are you retarded? because i very clearly stated that you cant below zero in kelvin which is literally the point of kelvin
>>
>>5138621
It obviously isn't, the negative is a notational convenience, this system isn't the typical real numbers we are used to, where x + -x = 0, and there isn't an additive identity in the typical sense.

They are literally ordered positive less than negative in that way in the article that *YOU* posted.
>The temperature scale from cold to hot runs +0K,…, +300K,…,+∞K, −∞K,…, −300K,…, −0K.
>Note that if a system at −300K is brought into thermal contact with an identical system at 300K, the final equilibrium temperature is not 0K, but is ±∞K.
Negatives are only "less than" positives on the usual real line because Total Ordering imposed on it that makes it so, but not this one. I don't know how much more clearly this can be stated, and I don't have enough crayons and construction paper to explain Lattice Theory to someone of your cognitive ability.

I am friends with an African man called Muntu who currently works as a potwash but he intends to take over Africa (he'll take over one country, he hasn't decided which one yet, but possibly Ghana, and then he'll conquer the rest with his armies and rule the entire continent) and then he will begin a massive project to turn the Sahara desert into an ocean. He says this will improve Africa and Europe. He has many plans for Africa that me and him have discussed in detail while smoking weed.

The Permian-Triassic extinction was only as bad as it was because of the arrangement of the continents. You know how the coldest city in the world is in in Yakutia Siberia, but it gets to like 30 celsius in the summer? When the whole Earth's landmasses are mashed into a supercontinent the climate becomes super continental too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocene%E2%80%93Eocene_thermal_maximum
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12728184/
Even if we somehow achieved the CO2 concentrations of that time period, it would probably look much more like the PETM in which vegetation died back as climate zones shifted for a couple hundred thousand years (but never became a hellish desert, just enough to stop expected amounts of carbon drawdown by vegetation) and you would be able to grow palm trees in Newfoundland for a while. Human land use and exploitation is probably a bigger threat to most animals at risk of extinction than climate change is.
