The temperature talk is real… 😭 India is currently suffering through some absolutely brutal heat. 45° to 40° Celsius is daily temps here.
Super Mario bros 3 have prepared me for this…
Call me old fashioned but a cartoon sun should have sunglasses
No, itd have the face of a baby
My parents were friends with that baby’s parents! Now she has a daughter of her own!
Does he still do Baby Sun Face appearances? Like for birthdays or bat mitzvahs?
Mario say no and jump over like hop scotch dip n duck dive o rama
Eat the sun. Simple.
Problem: solved. Give me noble proze for i have solvered the noblest of problems.
Remember when it gets too hot outside and people start showing up at night. Don’t let them in however being alone makes you a target of the Pale Visitor.
If I find myself unemployed in the summer, I only apply to jobs where I’d be working in a giant fridge or freezer. They always give you warm clothing to wear as part of the PPE, but I end up only ever using gloves because I’m a super hot person. But then they yell at me for violating OSHA rules or some bullshit. 😖
Fresh out of high school, I got a job unloading 18 wheeler with produce. Boss only cared about the freezer using PPE and most just had the bottoms on.
Go to the beach… at nighttime 🌛
We need to build more datacenters, so we can use them for shade

Drat! You totally had me fooled until I opened that!
Tap for spoiler
Lmao omg please send help we’re burning alive omg it’s so hot the sun is a deadly laser
That’s why we shouldn’t remove vegetation cover
I love trees so fucking much. Plant more of them!
Plus hiking is more of a before sunrise activity
Unless its during the time where night is still hot then maybe hangout at the library if possible
I keep seeing stuff about this being the strongest El Niño year on record, so that last panel is going to be real.
El Niño’s still around? I haven’t heard that name since I was a kid in the 90s! When’s it going to mature into El Adulto already? Like seriously, grow up and get a job already!
That’s completely irrelevant to me and many others, just 30°C is enough for use to go into that mode. I don’t like heat, it just makes me feel bad.
Is going to? It actually is. We are rn putting alarms to open the house on the half an hour where the temperature drops below 23°C. We have 31 days and 24 nights. The usual here on hot season is 16 nights and 24 days so we don’t even have air conditioning. We literally are strategically airing the house to cool it a little bit…
If you have an attic, pop it open and stick a deck of cards in there. Hot air rises, so it should help.
I only just heard this recently and tried it today. 🤷♂️
Of course, the current El Niño is in the early stages of formation and might not live up to the hype. But if the forecasts prove accurate, it would be a whopper (NY Times)
It’s still spooling up. I’m afraid to experience this thing at full force.
We are not even on the same continent. Nice default Americanism I guess. I intentionally put the Celsius degrees to que people that it wasn’t the US

People in north america use celcius. Let people talk from their own perspectives, what’s wrong with that? You can talk about how it’ll be from where you live, but how dare they?
You’re on a chain about El Niño, and commenting as if you’re effected. That implies America’s, or the Pacific broadly at most. Regardless, what they said is perfectly relevant to the thread. If you were speaking of hot climate in general then you’re the one putting yourself somewhere you don’t belong.
It was 36C where I live last week. If I didn’t have AC I’d be dead. Luckily, we’re only looking at ~30C this week. But I’m still gonna be running the AC.
That’s the thing with where I live, we don’t usually have AC. It was never needed.
Pretty sure that it depends on where you live.

Yeah. Actually, according to this, it doesn’t typically affect summer weather in North America. Huh.

The maps show how El Niño commonly affects Northern Hemisphere winter and summer climate patterns around the globe. Notice that there are no consistent impacts on North America during the summer months, while areas around the tropics and Southern Hemisphere subtropics (Australia, for example) experience impacts in both seasons.

Wow, I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a map that splits down the Atlantic ocean vs Pacific! Really threw my brain off for a moment having the Americas off to the right side, rather than the left. I can definitely see why it was done that way, but just so odd to realize how infrequently I encounter maps drawn that way.

That’s awesome! It’s different enough from the “standard” maps, though, that it doesn’t confuse my brain the way moving the “seam” does.
That is a badass projection method! I don’t think I’ve seen it before.
So this is the year for a summer Japan trip, got it.
Oh wow, that’s pretty interesting. Weather is weird!
And nothing in Europe at all?
Well, El Nino is a phenomenon in the pacific ocean. It being strong enough to have a direct effect on Europe would mean we are pretty much fucked.
Europe is mostly affected by the gulf stream, which: surprise motherfucker, is also having very strong variances due to the climate collapse in the last years.
And let’s wait and see if the gulf steam soon gets tired and needs to sleep for a millennium.
Good thing climate change won’t make anything worse ever
Oil execs need to be gasoline boarded
The british invented climate change cuz they were jelous of the mediterranean
“Envious” is easier to spell.
jokes on them, eventually it’ll actually make britain colder and too dry to grow food
We had a hike, picnic and some time at the beach yesterday, before the temperatures got too crazy. Today is be inside with curtains drawn and windows closed until the outside temperature drops below the inside temperature!
I live on a small homestead with livestock. There’s lots to do on my days off my regular job.
Everything gets done in the morning. Because once it it’s 1300 it’s inside or else.
It’s like if the Riddick franchise owned a farm.
1300 degrees. Dang.
So, you’re plagued with ravenous monsters, bounty hunters, and a Holy Half-Dead who has seen the Underverse and returned with powers we can’t imagine? NGL, seems like a rough location.
Why do you think we need to be inside before the sun is at it’s highest?
THE SUN SMILES AT YOU WITH ETERNAL MALICE
As someone without working AC, this hurts. At least at the beach you could bring shelter and cool off in the water
get a portable ac, even a used (working) one is better than nothing. just seal the exhaust in a window well enough. i live in one of the coldest countries but even i can’t survive the summer without two of those
One of those gets my place down to like 90. My trailer home is basically a solar overn.
Those cheap reusable ice packs you get at the grocery store for coolers and lunch boxes work great for long lasting cooling when it’s hot without AC. You can cuddle them for literal hours without it fully melting. And they’re so cheap it’s easy to have a backup in the freezer.
I just take a cold shower ever few hours, not even a real shower basically a rinse takes two minutes and doesn’t cost more in electricity. I just feel bad telling people to use electricity to stay cool if it was that easy they would have already spent the money but for some reason they can’t.
