  • I did the math:

    Room temperature is often defined as 20 degrees Celsius (although I remember it being 23C in some old textbooks).

    20+16.6 is 36.6 which is the normal temperature of a human body.

    20+18.6 is 38.6 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.

    AFAIK ~42.0 degrees is lethal.
















  • people will still be like ‘wtf’ haha

    People here (North Holland) are used to tourists and immigrants. A local could use “Hi”, “Hallo”, “Bonjour” or “Shalom” instead of Dutch-specific “Goeiemorgen”/other. If I say “Moin” or “Ciao” or “Hola”, people will understand and sometimes reply appropriately, but likely continue in English not Dutch. It’s something anyone would do for fun.

    “hyvää huomenta” and “terve” on the other hand are not widely known to be a greeting. “tesekkuler” will not work as “merci”. I don’t do that.
