Oh my god, I thought this was an Onion meme.

2023 too, and not a cherry-picked misquote.

WTF.

Yep. Very much so. Same for cold and high altitudes. Our bodies really are extra badass. Low oxygen- more red blood cells and hemoglobin concentration. Cold- blood thickens.

Fun fact: proffesional distance bikers and runners will often go train for several weeks before a race in high altitudes as a means to increase red blood cell counts without "doping". All the benefits of cheating but without technically cheating.

Just so we're on the same page, I wasn't unsure whether it is possible to acclimatise one's body to different temperatures but whether this was something someone actually had the gall to write about as a "climate solution".

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 months ago

Oh. I got ya. Lol

Also, occasionally, athletes just fucking drop dead while doing so. And they’re the healthiest among us.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Autopsies always find that they have defective hearts or heart valves if it isn't an aneurysm. Healthy athletes never really drop dead without a pre existing cause.

or shitloads of drugs

Fun fact, frogs won’t actually sit in the water, they always jump out when it gets too hot. Hilariously, humans are one of the few species of animals that will cook.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The test was around brain dead frogs to see if they'd jump out or boil to death... Not about functional frogs.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Humans confirmed worse than brain dead frogs

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

RIP. Good thing I'm a bot. Otherwise I'd be embarrassed af

I'm gonna take a wild guess that the "experts" have air-conditioned homes and workplaces.

Make them live without AC for the entire next summer and let's see if their "expert" opinion changes.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They were asked these questions by journalists and they answered. Don't blame scientists for idiot media people.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Scientists can be absolutely the biggest idiots. I worked maintenance in a laboratory and sometimes I was impressed somebody who can genotype plankton could also tie their own shoes.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

Sure, I never claimed the opposite :) I just think in this case, the one to blame is whoever came up with the idea for this article, not the people who were asked questions.

It's like shooting yourself with smaller bullets to build up a resistance to higher calibers

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 5 months ago

I used to go on 1-2 hour walks every day, the heat never felt less bad.

Step one: undergo a lobotomy

I never would have thought Bezos was a Stalinist…
