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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

no it aint lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

There's only one region in Brazil where dry weather is common, and that ain't it.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 11 months ago

Celsius, it be unfun down there

[–] [email protected] 58 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

We're so fucked 🙃

[–] [email protected] 18 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.

RIP Permafrost

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

[–] [email protected] 30 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Or.... nevermind.

We don't use freedom units in Brazil

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

For example, 60⁰ is "hot pra Caralh⁰"

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

And I thought dark-red is the hottest color.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I blame Ryan Gosling.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I blame Ryan Gosling.

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

Late spring in São Paulo is supposed to feel comfortable, at most 30°C and mild rains. We're experiencing summer temperatures of 38°C+ and torrential storms. We're fucked.

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

[–] [email protected] 18 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Our summers aren't supposed to be anywhere near this hot, and it's still spring.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Its still fucking spring and im getting sun burns just from the ten minutes walk to my job, what the fuck is happening.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Still shouldn't be expecting winter in late spring.
