me happy about the cold winter, happy earth can cool down for a moment

Am I missing something here or is OP not aware that winter isn't everywhere at the same time, and that tropical regions don't follow these "classical" (for lack of a better term) seasons at all?

Obviously climate change is bad and all that, but the upper caption makes no sense.

Is this Celsius or Fahrenheit? In Brazil it's late spring now, since it is on the southern hemisphere.

What the fuck that's terrifying

[–] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I can hear Arizonians saying "Yeah but it's dry heat"...

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

no it aint lol

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 49 points 11 months ago

Celsius, it be unfun down there

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 42 points 11 months ago (5 children)

The comments under this post are a great indicator of how much U.S. defaultism has ruined online conversations. Fucking Fahrenheit weirdos.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget op doesn't know it's summer in the southern hemisphere, and my english sucks, lol.

[–] Metatronz@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I thought that was the joke. Of course the whole planet isn't cold all at once.

[–] quaver@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

I think it's more indicative of how absurd 60° celsius is that it seems like it must be Fahrenheit.

[–] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Easy mate, I neither made nor voted on the fucking thing.

I live near the arctic circle... it's usually -25°C by now... it's +8° today.

We're so fucked 🙃

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And nobody listens. I make point after point about everything and it gets down voted...even here on Lemmy. Yup. So fucked in the entirely opposite meaning of that word. Zero productivity here. Ever again. And we're talking years, not decades.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Because it says more about you than where you are.

RIP Permafrost

We don't use freedom units in Brazil

[–] Alivrah@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

That's right; Brazil uses C⁰ (Caralh⁰) units.

For example, 60⁰ is "hot pra Caralh⁰"

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

fuuuuuuuuuuck

[–] SlopppyEngineer@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The heat index — a combination of temperature and humidity — hit 58.5 degrees Celsius (137 Fahrenheit) Tuesday morning in Rio, the highest index ever recorded there. Actual temperatures dropped slightly on Wednesday, but were forecast to rise again to 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) on Thursday.

Yeah, that's Celsius.

Brazil is so tall it has like 6 different climatic regions. 5 of them are currently a burning oven and the other one is drowning in constant rainstorms and cyclones.

[–] yum@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Either way I'm gonna be wet all the time, be it rain or sweat.

[–] CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Or.... nevermind.

I was a bit confused before checking the comments and thought that the meme is saying that 60° F is considered too cold for Brazil. I didn't even consider 60° C as a possibility.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Due to humidity, it's technically not 60 C but feels that way.

Silver lining, a Taylor Swift fan died from it. We can expect some kind of response from the hive.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

C'mon, guys, it's not that ba-

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

And I thought dark-red is the hottest color.

[–] flan@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

units would help here, it's unclear if 60 is way too hot or slightly cold

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 17 points 11 months ago

A safe bet that if it's outside the U.S., it's Celsius. I don't think anyone would be alarmed about 60F even on the heat bulb chart.

[–] GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

you really want to be told "it's celsius, we are all fucked"

[–] ilovesatan@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

It's just an el nino year! /s

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I blame Ryan Gosling.

Also, it would be late spring in Brazil right now, since it is in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

I blame Ryan Gosling.

Username checks out.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

That's because it's my name, silly!

Cold winter? We used to get blizzards in October here, now we barely get any snow at all throughout the entirety of winter, and it's frequently warm enough to be comfortable outside in nothing but a shirt and shorts.

I swear every single year people forget how actually mild winter has become. It got down to -50F here once years ago thanks to the polar vortex and ever since most everyone starts on how "it's gonna be a really cold winter this year" everytime it drops to the fucking 40-50F range. When you point out they said the same thing last year and it was even milder than when they said it 2 years ago, they often just double down being willfully ignorant and insist last winter was "soooo bad" despite it being warmer on average than Fall was 15 years ago.

[–] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Why would you be hoping for a cold winter in brazil right now? We're nearing summer.
