Felt good, didn’t it?
“Here” is South Carolina. It snows once every, I dunno, five years here. We close everything.
Puchica vos! Where from? I’m from Usulutan. Check out my Youtube chan (livardo) for some El Salvador vids I’ve taken.
this thread just wouldn’t be complete without a link to the thread that got me hooked on the Dope:
where is smithereens?
Everything’s relative, I guess. It’s -5ºC here today, so I put my longjohns on before my walk to Safeway. High of -19 and low of -27 for Monday - I’ll still walk for exercise. I’ll probably walk faster, though.
Oh, it’s fairly dry heat so it’s not bad here at all, as long as you have access to liquids and shade. Go down to Houston. It’s about two degrees colder in the summer time but the air is actually difficult to breathe, it’s so humid. Houston is hot as balls, which requires at least 95/35 degrees and 60% humidity, possibly more. Dallas isn’t even hot as fuck more than a few days out of the year.
Everyone west of the Cascades in the Pacific Northwest breaks out the fans and AC when it hits 75ºF in the summer. It gets hot as fuck around 85º and anything hotter than that is “intolerable” or also known as “fucking HOT!”
-5? Bah, that’s shorts and t-shirt weather here in Winnipeg!
I know; I’ve turned into a real pussy since moving to Calgary. I spent a summer in Winnipeg one year; longest five years of my life.
As a 15 year resident of Phoenix, >115F is my personal Hot as F*** boundary.
Anytime it’s 85F or higher in Houston qualifies as HAF.
Wouldn’t it just fall down on your shoes?
In one of Jack London’s stories* (“To Build A Fire”, I think), the old-timers in Alaska knew it was getting seriously cold when you spat and it crackled and froze in mid-air, meaning it was -50F or colder (in less severe cold, your spit would only crackle when it hit the snow).
*Simultaneous Jack London allusions in two different threads! Now that’s literary.
Show-off.
I came in to post 98.6 @ 100% humidity?
I think when it becomes too hot to fuck, that is hot as fuck.
That’s about it for me. I go to Barbados every winter where the daily high is 31 (never above, occasionally only 30) and there is always a breeze. I never feel hot, but then the houses are like sieves. I was in NY in late August this past summer and the temperatures near 35 (95 F) were feeling quite oppressive, especially at night where only a fan in the window saved me.
Hot as fuck is when your Diet Pepsi cans in a case in the back seat explode as you’re driving down the freeway.
Now when I was a kid, I hot as fuck was when it was over 80 for three days in a row. So it all depends on where you live.
The poles of powerful magnetars are so hot that the thermal energy they radiate per area is equivalent to the output of 100,000 of the largest power plant on Earth packed into every transistor of a Pentium chip.
When the weather’s hot and sticky,
That’s the time for dunkin’ dicky.
When the frost is on the punkin’,
That’s the time for dicky-dunkin’.
Hot as hell is about 95F. Hot as fuck is a nice round 100. Anything more than that is You Gotta Be Shittin’ Me.
