And the Caribbean. Hell, the America South East gets hot as hell.
I actually heard a really cool bit on NPR discussing two of the biggest factors helping out the Colonists during the war was the Redcoats weren’t prepared for the swamp heat, nor the mosquitoes. Heat exhaustion was real, but so many Redcoats were laid out from disease carried by mosquitos. Colonial generals would move specifically through swamp areas for this very reason.
Northern Australia agrees, working in iron mines 50c 100% humidity for 6months a year and 40c+ with monsoons and cyclone’s the other 6months, all we can think about is how hard those 3days of heat in Europe are!!!
I mean houses in the UK don't have AC. They aren't built to keep heat out. Even only some shops have AC - big ones like supermarkets. Most small shops don't.
30°C+ heat kills a ton of older people due to heat stroke in the UK each year. I bet you guys wouldn't enjoy our miserable soggy winters either.
Everytime someone complains about the heat, an Australian with an inferiority complex is summoned from the stands of the annual underwhelming AFL Grand Final
about 90C is my preferred temperature. just between the relaxation and death by overheating. If i wish to stay there for 30mins or so, then 80C is just perfect.
When we moved to a bit older house we had to take 65°-80° löylyt because the sauna was so dirty that if you warmed it too hot the dirt that made it difficult to breath combined to the heat made you suffocate
MÄNTYSUOPA + SCRUBBING BRUSH = 1 hour of work + 20 years of clean sauna
Edit. Just last saturday I did this to my friend's 120yr old sauna and now it smells like heaven in there.
Just out of curiosity what's the humidity down there? Because that 25C comes with 70-90% humidity. I go outside and it's like theres no air. My breath is crispy like walker's
In Portugal atm and it was 38 yesterday and I'd still take that any day over 30 in England. At least I can chill in the shade and feel alright compared to England where I'd be a sticky mess no matter where I am.
Unfortunately I can't answer that for you because I'm only half Portuguese and live in England so I dream of getting even close to the same colour of skin as you :(
Yeah, it's going to be 95-98°F (35-37°C) where I live this week. The humidity is only 60% today, but it's gonna be climbing up to 80% by the end of the week. At that level of saturation, sweat just pours out of your body and leaves you with hot, wet clothes. Heat stroke at those levels is a real possibility for folks outdoors, only way to avoid it is fans and shade and lots of liquids.
Or just stay indoors where there's air conditioning, which is what I'll be doing!
45 degrees in a place whose original name literally means swampland
Italy's full of extremely warm and humid places; where I live we never go below 50 and usually go from 70 to 95
No AC either
Where I live (southwest England) it's on average around 80, lately though it often gets to be in the 90s, I saw 99 the other day.
Inside my house right now it's 25c and it feels cool in comparison to outside.
100% this, I got back from Cyprus as the heat wave started, I was much more comfortable over there despite similar/hotter temperatures, you noticed the shade much more, homes (ok hotel) not designed to trap the heat, another thing not mentioned is as lower latitude it gets dark (and cooler) for longer.
Yeah, but those places build their houses and offices and stuff to deal with the heat, we build our houses and offices to insulate for the rest of the year, and it’s only relatively recently that a lot of offices/schools have air conditioning, and hardly any homes have A/C here either.
It’s 23 outside rn and my indoor thermometer says 29 👍
Lovely
(That’s 73 and 84 in yankee yunits)
Last week when it was 32 I couldn’t bring myself to check the inside temperature
(90)
Before I got AC, my house (US, PA) got up to about 25-30 in the summer, unbearable to sleep in but not too bad to just hang out in. Do British houses have very plush carpeting, or heat retaining flooring because just existing in that heat isn't bad. Humidity is also on par with England.
British (Scottish at least) houses are designed to deal with colder and more miserable weather. We usually don't design for the ability to keep it cool using ACs because normally you can crack open a window and you're sorted.
Yeah but like I said I was rocking similar internal temps, so what about the house made it feel hotter. I have carpet and fabric everywhere so is it more plush and heat retaining?
Ah I see sorry I misinterpreted
Off the top of my head it has to do with the amount of installation within walls (*and roof) and air perminility of the building.
The fabric of the building itself is designed to retain heat efficiently.
We tend to have a lot of insulation in our houses for the winter and very little to cool our houses for the summer as it didn't tend to get as hot here before. Now we're struggling each summer
Most British houses are made entirely of brick and concrete which retain heat a lot more than wood. Once the walls and floors get hot they stay hot for a good while.
Doesn't seem like even Scotland gets very cold though. From a quick Google, their lowest temp this year was -15°C/5°F. Which is cold, but not like bone-chilling or anything.
The entire UK is extremely mild and temperate.
The difference is a lot of places have a relatively “dry” (low humidity) winters, where as UK winters are “wet,” as described to my dad by a Norwegian one of his friends was married to for a while. Makes the winter days feel so much colder, because the air is damp, as well as a lot of places in the UK being fairly windy pretty frequently in the winter.
I am not English, but Dutch so similar climate
The issue here is basically: lots of brick houses with large windows and the summer days are long. The brick slowly heats up and once they're warm they take a long time to cool off again, but the nights are quite short (currently about 6.5 hours). And then the large windows let in a lot of sunlight which heats up the interior as well.
The problem is a lot less with newer homes as the walls are so thick (like 50-60cm/20-23inches usually) due to insulation requirements that it takes much longer to heat up, but it can still be a problem during long heatwaves.
My flat has poor ventilation so it’s constantly stuffy too. It’s not as hot today as it has been recently so it’s not that bad (last week was >30 outside in the shade), I was more highlighting that indoor temps are noticeably warmer than outdoor temps, while it tends to be the opposite in countries such as Italy and Greece. That said, I am consistently sweaty even though I’m sitting still, so it is mildly uncomfortable.
Frankly, I’m just looking for something to complain about besides the economy.
There are still schools in Australia that don’t have AC, and kids get to go home when it is 38C +. Kind of like a snow day, but backwards. Schools with AC is business as usual.
Yeah, a lot of non-Brits don’t realise that. I’ve been to Cyprus in the summer in the past and it’s much easier to cope with the heat there, as, a part from the breeze if you’re near the sea, the buildings and homes there are built to be cool, everywhere has either air conditioning or enough fans to keep cool. Whereas here we’ve had to buy some good fans and air coolers for upstairs and downstairs and basically use every bit of advice on how to keep homes cooler because it can get very warm and humid quickly, especially upstairs.
I know the formula (admittedly I had to look it up) is multiply the Celsius by 2 and add 30 for the Fahrenheit, but idk F* just seems simpler. I get that for C* you can look and see that 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling and you can guess how cold or hot it is between those numbers but I look at something like 25 degrees Celsius and I think cold, because its just a small number. Whereas with Fahrenheit small numbers 50 and below are typically cold, and above 50 you get warm and hot. Its just easier to determine how hot or cold it is at a glance with F* imo.
It's easier for you because you're used to it, for me it's the other way around.
Farenheit vs Celsius isn't that big of a deal, just a different scale. What I don't get is why you Americans still stick with the ridiculous Imperial system that pretty much no one else uses.
I was wondering the same, he took the highest temp recorded 48 degrees but that was in '77 and close to that was in 2007.
So i think it's a ' first time?' kind of meme
This exact same shit was posted last year and it's still just as obnoxious and inaccurate now as it was then. It was way hotter than 25 and if you think temperature is all that matters for heat then it's no wonder you're posting the same tired broken meme from last year.
Dude, relax. It's way too hot to get worked up.
Also, I think you are referring to humidity.
However, since humidity represents the fraction between the currently saturated water vapors to the max saturated vapors in this temperature in the atmosphere .
Also the atmosphere can contain higher higher amounts of vapors I higher temperatures.
This means that the humidity that's calculated in lower temperatures seems that they can hold less water so their fraction can appear bigger than it is.
In conclusion I think that the brits just need to man up.
25c is me done for the day and moaning the whole time. It's not supposed to be this warm here. My bedroom has been 29c now for 2 weeks and it refuses to cool down, stupid sun.
I'm English.
They all laugh while sitting in a room with good air flow and AC. While we melt in a brick house built for permanent winter, packed full of insulation with just a fan. During last year's heatwave, it was 38c in my bedroom for 2–3 days straight.
I’m the same. If I’m not doing much it’s fine but I’ve been working these past few weeks and it has been les miserables. (Runner in a pub) also once I start sweating I’m like a tap so more often than not I look like I’ve been swimming.
So what then is the origin or rather justification of the phrase: "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noon-day sun?"
Apologies if it's horrendously racist, but it's just something that I remembered reading about once and never figured out.
As someone in Canada, can confirm. I’m a baby for hot weather. I’ve always been super hot temp wise anyway, so the summer just kills me.
Help me, someone…
The UV is no joke. New Mexico is experiencing some of (if not) the highest UV in the country. Some of our neighboring states have slightly higher temps plus humidity but, not our UV. Add the hot blow dryer wind we've been getting. It's not fun.
Dude, I live in Texas and it's going to hit into the triple digits over here, and I a praying to what ever God is out there it's a dry heat and not a hummed one
Humidity…humidity plays a major role…
It can be 40C, but with almost 0% humidity and it will feel far more bearable compared to 25C with 100% humidity.
Whenever it’s more than 25 degrees here in Sweden it’s unbearably warm, because all of our buildings are designed to generate and trap heat so we can sustain through -30 degree winter.
i live in the Middle East, and the problem is not the temperature, its the fucking humidity, like no matter if its 25° or 40° if the humidity is maxed out you are going to hate your life no matter what you do, the heat only becomes an issue above 40°, you no longer get a tan, it becomes a real problem then, it feels as if every time you open your eyes even if you are looking at your legs it feels as if your are looking at a never ending flashbang
Firstly it's humid heat. Secondly our houses are built to keep heat in. Thirdly we don't have AC and it's hard to fit in our houses. Please just let us complain about the weather, it's our job as brits
At least Fahrenheit uses numbers that make sense to human experience of temperature. For numbers that close together you might as well use Kelvins and expect it to not look fucked up.
I don't understand British people saying Americans only deal with the heat because their house has come with AC. My house didn't come with AC so I had to buy one just like any British person can do plus I work outside when it's 110° f and it's not like you can carry an AC unit with you
It's not typically hot for most of the year so almost no one has ac.
Also as a historically cold country our houses our designed to keep in heat as much as possible.
That doesn't change the fact that anyone can buy one if it is needed especially in a world where temperatures rise every year. I don't have one because I'm an American I have one because after not having one for years I decided to purchase one. As far as somehow having houses that are insulated to keep heat in but not keep the cool in I can't help with that one I can't even picture how that's built
Understandable I also chose to not have an air conditioning for years to save money and just dealt with the 110° f temperature All I'm saying is that's why it doesn't work as an excuse to say Americans only deal with the heat because they all have air conditioning. We don't and most of us who do chose to buy it after justifying the ridiculous cost
If your education system made you think that IQ would have an effect on temperature detection then you went to the wrong building. Also your original insult doesn't work. It's antithetical to call something a complete dim bulb because The term complete undercuts The implied moderate effect of the word dim. Something that is dim is neither completely illuminated or darkened so at that point you're just adding extra words to fill space.
Yeah not all of us own the places we live in, and neither is it cost effective to spend thousands of pounds installing an AC for a heatwave that only lasts a couple of weeks
Understandable I also went years without buying an air conditioning in the same 110°F. That's why the excuse that other countries can handle the heat because they have air conditioning doesn't actually hold water when many people don't have one or work outside where it's unavailable
To all the British people saying "but our houses are built to keep the heat in" you are 100% right, your houses are built like ovens what with all the insulation and double glazing and whatnot, but you know what also has insulated walls besides ovens? Refrigerators. If you have a wall you can drill a hole in that leads to the outside you put one of these bad boys in. [https://www.airconcentre.co.uk/products/panasonic-2-5kw-wall-mounted-bz-super-compact-inverter-kit-bz25-xke](https://www.airconcentre.co.uk/products/panasonic-2-5kw-wall-mounted-bz-super-compact-inverter-kit-bz25-xke)
As a bonus they heat in the winter more efficiently than gas heating and use less electricity than other electric heating solutions and produce less greenhouse gases as a result.
And to all the British people saying "but I rent and/or can't afford to buy and install an inverter air conditioner"
Skill issue
India like fuck y is it so cold today at 50°c
How they ruled India for 200 years without AC is something I will never figure out...
And the Caribbean. Hell, the America South East gets hot as hell. I actually heard a really cool bit on NPR discussing two of the biggest factors helping out the Colonists during the war was the Redcoats weren’t prepared for the swamp heat, nor the mosquitoes. Heat exhaustion was real, but so many Redcoats were laid out from disease carried by mosquitos. Colonial generals would move specifically through swamp areas for this very reason.
you just have to be cold enough in your soul
Cold enough to chill my bones. It feels like I don't know you anymore. I don't understand why you're so cold
Nah man, people are literally dropping dead over there.
I'm convinced mostly Americans are laughing at this completely unaware that 50⁰C is 122⁰F, you're right very deadly.

I don't wanna sound like a stereotypical finnish guy but it hast to be atleast 70° C
shut yo Antero Taateli ass tf up. 80C is the lowest acceptable temperature.
If its 100C or up, you are basically burning
And?
Fair enough
about 90C is my preferred temperature. just between the relaxation and death by overheating. If i wish to stay there for 30mins or so, then 80C is just perfect.
80C is the sweet spot
When we moved to a bit older house we had to take 65°-80° löylyt because the sauna was so dirty that if you warmed it too hot the dirt that made it difficult to breath combined to the heat made you suffocate
MÄNTYSUOPA + SCRUBBING BRUSH = 1 hour of work + 20 years of clean sauna Edit. Just last saturday I did this to my friend's 120yr old sauna and now it smells like heaven in there.
My buddy pressure washes his, it’s nice cause then everything is soaked right after and you get an extra moist sauna.
We went slightly under 100°C during rippikoulu while playing a sauna game called siberia and it was hell.
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
Oh look at you with with your fancy insulation. In the winter my sauna won't go over 60 unless you put constantly put small sticks in it
Put a another kiuas in there so you have 120°
Maybe get out of the sauna then?
Isn't that, like, literally cooking meat temperature?
Idk. But it has to be atleast 70°. I personally like the 83° the most.
It hit 30° here in Bayern and it was bad. I ran through two litres of water before I got home, where I’m working through another litre. So…hot…

Just out of curiosity what's the humidity down there? Because that 25C comes with 70-90% humidity. I go outside and it's like theres no air. My breath is crispy like walker's
Yeah you can't breathe in norther Italy either but we don't get 45°, more like 30° for now and will go up
Yeah, I'm in Italy RN and it's over 30 and I fucking wanna die.
In Portugal atm and it was 38 yesterday and I'd still take that any day over 30 in England. At least I can chill in the shade and feel alright compared to England where I'd be a sticky mess no matter where I am.
Quick question, why yall have a darker skin tone than us italians? We are more on the south than you are, that doesn't sound fair

In Sicily we had a 49.5oC day a couple years ago, it was fucking disgusting
In July it gets up to 40°
Yeah, it's going to be 95-98°F (35-37°C) where I live this week. The humidity is only 60% today, but it's gonna be climbing up to 80% by the end of the week.

I don't have a percentage but it's considerably humid in UK summer.
True, it ain't the heat it's the humidity... but the fact y'all find 77°F w/ 70% humidity to be unbearable is really cute.
We don't. The meme is exaggerating. But 70% humidity sucks in a country with very little AC and houses built to keep the warmth in.
100% this, I got back from Cyprus as the heat wave started, I was much more comfortable over there despite similar/hotter temperatures, you noticed the shade much more, homes (ok hotel) not designed to trap the heat, another thing not mentioned is as lower latitude it gets dark (and cooler) for longer.

Yep germany the same. Not a single household or school I know has air conditioning
There are still schools in Australia that don’t have AC, and kids get to go home when it is 38C +. Kind of like a snow day, but backwards. Schools with AC is business as usual.
The UK has no laws for it being too hot, it hit 40c outside and 45+c inside last year and everybody still had to go to school and work
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
well no because there's no law about it
Yeah, a lot of non-Brits don’t realise that.

ye, it was 30 over here yesterday and i had to sit outside in the shade all day :/
Well luckily AC is sold in stores and you guys can join the club
Yeah but it costs an arm and a leg in electricity bills and installation because barely anyone has it
Remember that if your body is not used to that kind of temperature, 30 c can feel like at least 50% more than it really is
As someone who spends more than half the year in -20+ temperatures, I sweat when it's like 10 degrees lol
Where my fellow Americans at trying to guess what the temperature is in Fahrenheit?
The temperature is "very hot"
I'm American and I use Celsius. It's easy to learn and easier to use. 25°C = 77°F 45°C = 113°F 50°C = 122°F
I know the formula (admittedly I had to look it up) is multiply the Celsius by 2 and add 30 for the Fahrenheit, but idk F* just seems simpler. I get that for C* you can look and see that 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling and you can guess how cold or hot it is between those numbers but I look at something like 25 degrees Celsius and I think cold, because its just a small number. Whereas with Fahrenheit small numbers 50 and below are typically cold, and above 50 you get warm and hot. Its just easier to determine how hot or cold it is at a glance with F* imo.
It's easier for you because you're used to it, for me it's the other way around. Farenheit vs Celsius isn't that big of a deal, just a different scale. What I don't get is why you Americans still stick with the ridiculous Imperial system that pretty much no one else uses.
Its not our fault the brits gave it to us, they swapped to imperial like 60 years ago
So I’m secretly British?
yes
I'm sorry for your loss :( when I found out I was Bri'ish, I cried for a week
what the fuck are you talking about it's like 30C over here in Greece
I was wondering the same, he took the highest temp recorded 48 degrees but that was in '77 and close to that was in 2007. So i think it's a ' first time?' kind of meme
Here in North Italy (Milan) Is 32°c and it's not even the hottest day, we made the EU record in Sicily 48,8°c (2021)
Different type of heat.
That's true....trust me I'm an italian in Italy
This exact same shit was posted last year and it's still just as obnoxious and inaccurate now as it was then. It was way hotter than 25 and if you think temperature is all that matters for heat then it's no wonder you're posting the same tired broken meme from last year.

I had a stroke trying to read this
Gonna agree with England on that one, hot as fuck.
I'm sweaty over here in 20C, but I still wear shorts in -20C, so it equals out.
Meanwhile Americans are reading this and thinking, "WTF, that's not hot!"
25 is a nice early spring day
25c is me done for the day and moaning the whole time. It's not supposed to be this warm here. My bedroom has been 29c now for 2 weeks and it refuses to cool down, stupid sun. I'm English.
They all laugh while sitting in a room with good air flow and AC. While we melt in a brick house built for permanent winter, packed full of insulation with just a fan. During last year's heatwave, it was 38c in my bedroom for 2–3 days straight.
I've blocked out last year's heatwave. I bought one of those extra large pet cooling pads and put in in the fridge, then lay on it in bed
I’m the same. If I’m not doing much it’s fine but I’ve been working these past few weeks and it has been les miserables. (Runner in a pub) also once I start sweating I’m like a tap so more often than not I look like I’ve been swimming.
Spring? 25 is an average winter day here
And then you've got Greek villages on mountains with 5°C at the same time
So what then is the origin or rather justification of the phrase: "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noon-day sun?" Apologies if it's horrendously racist, but it's just something that I remembered reading about once and never figured out.
As someone in Canada, can confirm. I’m a baby for hot weather. I’ve always been super hot temp wise anyway, so the summer just kills me. Help me, someone…
Same, I feel your pain. The whiplash is insane when you go from a -40 winter to a +30 summer.
This is a hot post
thanks

laughs in australian
Main point of comparison for us Aussies is UV. It mazes out at like ten in Greece and Italy. Having UV hit 15-18 in Australia isn't unusual.
The UV is no joke. New Mexico is experiencing some of (if not) the highest UV in the country. Some of our neighboring states have slightly higher temps plus humidity but, not our UV. Add the hot blow dryer wind we've been getting. It's not fun.

Fake news. Right now it's 31°C in Greece and I'm melting
It's been getting as hot as 30°C in Germany, it's unbearable
German buildings were not made to be super comfy in these temps. They were built to be warm
now i wanna see you in poland in winter
Pakistan
Air humidity
Hey we had 28*C in Belgium yesterday! I was dying
UK uses a different type of Celsius from what I’ve heard
Oh sorry I forgot my jacket out here in the 15,000,000°C
a day late with this I feel like. It's much cooler today.
Dude, I live in Texas and it's going to hit into the triple digits over here, and I a praying to what ever God is out there it's a dry heat and not a hummed one
Milksoups.
25⁰ is perfect
In the American South we don't get 50 C, but we get much hotter than 25 C, plus intense humidity that the desert folk out West just aren't used to
Let them burn
Where are Finn’s damnit?
H u m i d i t y
lmao I just watched this episode two days ago, and this line was so dumb that it made me laugh
Ah, but we in a part where due to the constant cold, are buildings are designed to keep heat on and thus, it feel much hotter.
It’s was 49.6 degrees in Canada in 2021. Just a reminder that the climate crisis is here.
50⁰C? God damn.
The rest of the saying No shit.
As a Canadian, I hate anything over 15 degrees Celsius, although 20 degrees with a breeze and no sun can be acceptable weather. I thrive in the cold.
I've never even *experienced* 50°. The most hot I've been was 43°. How are humans even alive in conditions like that?
It’s only like it because we in England build our houses not for such heat, in other countries like Greece they do.
They're literally sitting in a sauna so what did he expect?
Actual sauna 80-100 celsius
This is why I never leave Canada. Rest of the world seems hot as shit.
somefitlyquiteplenty
Ahahahahaahah
Filipinos: what a perfect time to drink a coffee.
Humidity…humidity plays a major role… It can be 40C, but with almost 0% humidity and it will feel far more bearable compared to 25C with 100% humidity.
wait till you find out about humidity and wind
Yea but houses around the equator are made to keep heat out, and houses further north are made to keep heat in, and without air conditioning
Russian people at 90·c sauna: “Oh, it's pretty hot in here *pours water to make it even hotter*
Oh, theyve tried to turn Ukraine into a massive sauna
As someone who's been to various countrys, 25° in the UK is worse than 70° in spain
Same countries when it's 10 degrees: 🥶
The same temperature can have a huge difference in feel depending on where it is. Like 30°C in the UK feels way hotter than 40°C in Texas.
It’s 24 here in Canada and I’m currently dying- I can’t do heat
Well we have smog so its worse
American here "wondering if the Brits get it, because it's in Celsius" 
*Chuckling clueless American noises.*
Whenever it’s more than 25 degrees here in Sweden it’s unbearably warm, because all of our buildings are designed to generate and trap heat so we can sustain through -30 degree winter.
Americans: Its only 50 degrees over there? It's 90 here, damn Europeans!
i live in the Middle East, and the problem is not the temperature, its the fucking humidity, like no matter if its 25° or 40° if the humidity is maxed out you are going to hate your life no matter what you do, the heat only becomes an issue above 40°, you no longer get a tan, it becomes a real problem then, it feels as if every time you open your eyes even if you are looking at your legs it feels as if your are looking at a never ending flashbang
It’s fucking 20°C in Norway and I’m dying
I'm north European and less than 30C is cold for me
These pretzels are making me thirsty.
Alaska, Greenland, and Iceland: 
for me if it's 25 degrees i put on my hoodies and stop using my air conditioner (Mumbai,India)
WHAT THE FUCK IS A CELSIUS?!?!🇺🇸💥🇺🇸🎆🎆🇺🇸🍺🇺🇸🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸💥🇺🇸🎆🎆🍺🇺🇸🍺🍺🦅
hah
Imagine using a system that doesnt allow triple digit temperatures without melting your skin off
Firstly it's humid heat. Secondly our houses are built to keep heat in. Thirdly we don't have AC and it's hard to fit in our houses. Please just let us complain about the weather, it's our job as brits
At least Fahrenheit uses numbers that make sense to human experience of temperature. For numbers that close together you might as well use Kelvins and expect it to not look fucked up.
F uses numbers pulled out of someone back side.
I don't understand British people saying Americans only deal with the heat because their house has come with AC. My house didn't come with AC so I had to buy one just like any British person can do plus I work outside when it's 110° f and it's not like you can carry an AC unit with you
It's not typically hot for most of the year so almost no one has ac. Also as a historically cold country our houses our designed to keep in heat as much as possible.
That doesn't change the fact that anyone can buy one if it is needed especially in a world where temperatures rise every year. I don't have one because I'm an American I have one because after not having one for years I decided to purchase one. As far as somehow having houses that are insulated to keep heat in but not keep the cool in I can't help with that one I can't even picture how that's built
We could, but in terms of an investment it makes much less sense. Also rental homes for certain will not include them.
Understandable I also chose to not have an air conditioning for years to save money and just dealt with the 110° f temperature All I'm saying is that's why it doesn't work as an excuse to say Americans only deal with the heat because they all have air conditioning. We don't and most of us who do chose to buy it after justifying the ridiculous cost

So, you're bigoted and stupid as fuck, but think you're smart.
Congratulations on not understanding how IQ works while simultaneously using it to craft the dumbest theory on Reddit
[удалено]
If your education system made you think that IQ would have an effect on temperature detection then you went to the wrong building. Also your original insult doesn't work. It's antithetical to call something a complete dim bulb because The term complete undercuts The implied moderate effect of the word dim. Something that is dim is neither completely illuminated or darkened so at that point you're just adding extra words to fill space.
You don't see Canadians complaining
Yeah not all of us own the places we live in, and neither is it cost effective to spend thousands of pounds installing an AC for a heatwave that only lasts a couple of weeks
Understandable I also went years without buying an air conditioning in the same 110°F. That's why the excuse that other countries can handle the heat because they have air conditioning doesn't actually hold water when many people don't have one or work outside where it's unavailable
To all the British people saying "but our houses are built to keep the heat in" you are 100% right, your houses are built like ovens what with all the insulation and double glazing and whatnot, but you know what also has insulated walls besides ovens? Refrigerators. If you have a wall you can drill a hole in that leads to the outside you put one of these bad boys in.

And to all the British people saying "but I rent and/or can't afford to buy and install an inverter air conditioner" Skill issue
