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.

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.
Burn forest, plant fields, too hot for fields, … ., no profits!
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.

When India/China run out of water from the mountains it is going to be really fun
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.
Seems like a load of bullshit. This is the only article about it, and it’s from… okdoomer.io?
Lol. Where are the mods?
Oh. This is the smaller world news. My bad.
Also on the shittiest large instance, lemmy.ml
Human blood should start cooking at 60°C if I remember well.

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.
