Relative Humidity. You used to use a thermometer with two bulbs and a string to check RH. One of the bulbs would have a sock on the end you would soak in water. Then you would spin the thing for a minute. By comparing the temperature differentials on the two bulbs against a chart you could find out what the relative amount of humidity in the air was.
@matty@ForbiddenDreamer yea i dunno what htis nigger is talking about, i was out in that kinda weather doing physical labor, drink water instead of soda you dumb niggers.
@ForbiddenDreamer guys help we need to raise money to buy unlimited air conditioners for our heckin lovely niggos quick they’ll die it’s not like their body is adapted for hot, subequatorial, sun-drenched weather! They’re from africa! They can’t handle living that far north!!!
And it appears the upper temperature limit for human life, regardless of genetics, is 95F (35C). Higher than that and you will overheat regardless of water intake, assuming room-temperature water. Chilled water will let survive by reducing body temperature without sweating.
Your body using evaporative cooling via sweatting to shed heat. A wet-bulb temperature of 95F means that the minimum temperature you can get from evaporative cooling is 95F.
@Zealist@matty@ForbiddenDreamer when wet bulb temperature reaches 95f it means that if you are in the shade drinking unlimited water you will still be at risk of severe dehydration
@MachineMadeDog@matty@ForbiddenDreamer i will, either way you know the nigger in the screenshot is like "climate change checkmate rightwingers" and my religion is not climate change it's Christianity.
@ForbiddenDreamer Do communists really not understand that you can be uncomfortable for a few hours and as long as you don't stay in that zone for days you won't die? That you can be hot and thirst during the day then cool off and rehydrate at night and be fine?
Were 19th century slaves just superniggers to these people?
@MachineMadeDog@Zealist@matty Nah, you just cook and get drenched in sweat. You'll probably be okay resting in the shade at these temperatures, though you'd start to feel symptoms of heat stroke. Unhealthy or obese (niggers) may fare differently....
@poastoak@ForbiddenDreamer They're actually retarded but also they'll argue with you because pushback against their flawed "logic" means you're a false consciousness hijacked unwitting capitalist stooge. I hate communists so much and actually wish it would be legal to hunt them even for deportation (ship them to Israel or Madagascar).
@LordMordred@ForbiddenDreamer it's been that hot here since God made created it. It's fine. AC is one of my favorite bits of tech that I never want to be without for long, but you can survive it with shade and water
@poastoak@ForbiddenDreamer Sure he did. He didn't convince the French to join him without war. Can you imagine if the French of that era had signed on with Italians and Germans for Le Axis? Strong 💪 🥖
@Zealist@matty@ForbiddenDreamer not as much as one would think. Better off with something to allow airflow and keep it directly off your head, a ballcap just sits on your head and does nothing for the heat if the sun is beaming directly on you image.png
@teknomunk@matty@MachineMadeDog@Zealist That said, the body produces like 100w of heat, so drinking water isn't gonna cut it. You'll run into issues soon enough if you keep drinking 2-3L of ice water every hour.
>Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (131 °F). A reading of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit.
@lichelordgodfrey@Zealist@MachineMadeDog@matty@ForbiddenDreamer clearly this is the fault of global watering, due to excess H2O production by humans and after multiple catastrophic events with asteroids(!) hitting the earth and dumping toxic amounts of the deadly substance everywhere. >without AC, you die fool, what these regions need is giant dehumidifiers emergency dehumification, then ship the collected water straight to Mars.
@teknomunk@matty@ForbiddenDreamer@Zealist exactly. im wondering how many people are going to get hospitalized for heart issues by overdosing on electrolyte drinks and powders in this heat
