100f is only 37 degrees c?
Yes..."over 100" means above that. At high humidity for long periods of time, it doesn't have to be much above that temperature to kill
the worst part is this also applies to humans. We are COOKED.
Math checks out. Did you have a point?
I've been to hoover damn where it was 44 Celsius and I loved it
Shouldn't these monkeys be used to high temperatures? 37 doesn't seem that high to me
Getting into 50s, that's a different story
Look up what wet bulb temperatures mean, because no, you don't love 44° Celsius at high humidity:

Thanks for telling me what I like and what my body is capable of! I had no idea
My guy, you're not some mega special advanced human that can somehow live in higher wet-bulb temperatures than everyone else. You'd die just like me and any other human.
Lmao... Ok, so I'm wrong about enjoying 40 degrees celcius.
All you downvoters need to seriously reexamine your lives, it's sad.
You didn't read properly, I was specifically talking about high humidity. That's the situation the monkeys who have died were in. Temperatures feel completely different based on the humidity - 35°C at 100% humidity is equivalent to 71°C at 0% humidity.
Ok, yeah I agree about the humidity aspect; that's an insane temperature for any living creature.
But I never said I can stay in 40+ degrees with high humidity either.
I never said that you said so. I was simply telling you why the monkeys died at "only 37°C", and why you wouldn't enjoy 44°C in comparable conditions.
Sure, fair enough
You may be a freak of nature. I can't function if it's over 30c.
Lol, yeah I've always loved the heat
37 is 98.6F. It's the human body temperature.
Which would be relevant if we weren't highly exothermic.
