Normally I wouldn't make fun, but he even typed the word Celsius in his reply. It's almost like some small part of his brain was trying to throw him a clue.

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

I saw the °C, but my depressed brain intepreted as the imperial system because I'm just so used to it, and the immenent collapse of society doesn't help my brain function better

C in question

[-] waigl@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

How curiously pertinent in more than one way…

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 88 points 1 week ago

98.7 is likely close enough to boiling point that there'd surely be some bubbles. I'd expect your bubbles per minute to be more than 0.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

In many places around the world, it would be outright boiling. But I imagine internal organs would need a larger temperature.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

A bunch of boiled meat? Must have been British.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

How many bubbles before the pump fails and needs to be re-primed?

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Please don't boil your pump

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Keep it to a light poach.

[-] MML@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Usually 1 I think

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 82 points 1 week ago

You’d be fine. Your blood wouldn’t even be boiling yet.

You’re clearly not under enough pressure. Maybe a gambling addiction would help.

[-] halvar@lemy.lol 19 points 1 week ago

seems like a skill issue on your part smh

In a Sauna it can be 98ºC, not the same extern temperature and body temperature. You'll die when your body temperature is over 42ºC, but you can support way higher extern temperatures (for a certain time)

[-] princessnorah 18 points 1 week ago

The hottest you should have a Sauna is 90°C.

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Most also less, but it also can get higher. Always important the preparation before and after the session a cold bath, apart of an strict time control to avoid accidents, sometimes deadly.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

I was in one the other day that was 118. My first time being in one so hot, and it was... surprising.

Just never been in that kind of heat before. It was oppressively hot, breathing felt heavy, and sweat was pouring out like a dripping faucet. Interesting sensations

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Sounds like a sweat lodge. I don't know how hot they get those normally.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Did that at summer camp as a kid, but memories are distant so it's hard to compare. Prob similar, I vaguely remember sweating like crazy

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Huh why do they have 105C saunas in spas then?

[-] princessnorah 9 points 1 week ago

Because they're crazy I guess? Over 90°C the risk of lung damage gets pretty high I think.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

To be clear, do you stay in the sauna the entire time? Because around these parts it's common to get in, splash some water every now and then ("leil" in Estonian or "löyly" in Finnish) and then get out after like 5 min to take an ice bath. At 100+ you probably skip the water.

I bet if you stay like 15+ minutes at once it's way worse for you because your internals have more time to heat up.

[-] Redex68@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Holy fuck I did not know they were so hot, how does a human body even survive that for any amount of time.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

Dry air doesn't conduct heat as well as humid air, and allows evaporative cooling through sweat

98.7K - ice cold

98.7F - a-ok

98.7C - first degree burns for your first responders

98.7 KFC FOR ALL YOUR FAVORITE SOUTHERN FRIED ROCK WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI!

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

KFC! OMG I GET IT NOW!!!

First it's frozen, then it's thawed, then it's extra crispy!!!

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

If your ice is 98.7 K it would be Ice Ic with a different crystalline structure. It would probably taste like intense hot sauce turning your tongue black and causing it to fall out of your frostbitten mouth because you tried to lick Ice Ic you daft bastard.

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago

So…technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Also, who licks ice? Ice cream, sure. Ice pops, absolutely. But just ice? Give us some wild description of what ice Ic would do in a glass when room temp water or soda was poured on it.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

You never fellated an icicle on a cold winter day?

[-] missandry351@lemmings.world 10 points 1 week ago

The person who comment is from US right?

[-] FluidBeef@quokk.au 6 points 1 week ago

Venus, actually.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

This must be the reason for that spontaneous human combustion people talk about
