High latitude people can't comprehend the heat

[-] LeninsOvaries@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 month ago

What the fuck are you talking about? People at high latitudes have the hottest summers. Ever hear of Darwin? Cairns? Broome? It's the people from the south that don't know what heat is. Adelaidians will complain about the heat and it's only 30 degrees.

I've never seen an Australian do the American thing of assuming the person they're responding to is from their country before. For most of the English speaking world, higher latitudes = further from the equator.

Higher latitudes are always further from the equator. Why are you people arguing about this when neither of you seem to understand that the lowest latitude is 0 degrees which is exactly on the equator.

[-] offspec@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Only if by higher you mean higher absolute value, it's not particularly unorthodox for "higher" to generally refer to "more up on North up maps"

-12° is the same size as 12°. For angles the negative sign denotes direction. -12 N is just 12 S. Sure, but maps can be turned upside down. Is higher now south? What about a map centered on the north pole. Which direction is up then?

Probably the mention of winter. The Southern Hemisphere has just left Winter... Also I think they're driving on the left side of the road in the picture.

Yeah, the picture's of the intersection of Flinders and Exhibition in Melbourne
